GoPro cameras are heavily advertised, but I do not understand how they are overrated.
Is there another HD sports camera (motion handling capability) out there that's better overall, for the same cost or less.?
I ask because I've always wanted one lol.

The GoPro brand has its fans. If you really want one, I say wait til Christmas deals start then go for it.
There are plenty of GoPro versions now, but most are clunky and hard to pack, they aren't intuitive, the touch screen interface takes awhile to react and usually requires multiple taps, the older versions produced shaky videos, and the battery life left a lot to be desired. To me, it's just a one trick pony.
I've never tried either one of these, but from other reviews it looks like the TomTom Bandit is a contender. Olfi is good enough and is affordable, but has a terrible battery life. You can also do a lot of the same tricks with a cell phone or dash cam.
