So there may be some bargains on the horizon. But long-term it looks like GoPro is the only game in town now.
I'm tempted by [url= http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/accessories/bike-accessories/helmet-cameras/nilox-foolish-ducati-camera.html ]this version[/url] of the Nilox Foolish, slightly cheaper if you don't mind it being red. Reviews are positive.
The [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/gopro-3-black ]GoPro Hero Black[/url] on Classifieds for £235.
Sony's ACTION CAM HDR-AS15 is above budget right now but they're just about to release a replacement so you may well get a bargain soon.
I would not bother. From experience the footage is a bit rubbish and boring. I have got a three quarters panasonic camera and one of those twisty tripods and though it takes a bit more time the films made with it blow the gopro footage out of the water. I do own a gopro but I am not sure how I could make a decent film with it even for me to watch.

Pretty happy with mine - takes decent underwater shots.
