In the mid-1990s American consumers rejected the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique, which shared innards with a European model, because they were too small for this market.
The new model has also been real-world tested and proven by Contour's roster of professional athletes and film partners in the world's most diverse conditions, ultimately fine-tuning its sensor to improve the overall sharpness of the image, the speed at which the camera adjusts for fast lighting changes, and the underwater video quality.
