It's a cheap one I got on prime day (it was like 20 or 30 bucks at the time I think). I bought a cruddy mount that attaches to the stem of my rear view mirror and my car tends to shake a bit :p But here's the link to the camera: https://www.amazon.com/YI-Smart-Camera-Vision-Golden/dp/B01C89DTFI
Edit: I have the silver/gold colored version.

Have you had a look at the Xiaoyi Yi Dash Cam? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C89DTFI/ . Plenty of reviews online and a lot of good footage on YouTube.
If you go back a dozen posts you will see a post titled "Unusual Listing for Xiaomi Yi Dashcam" where I questioned that entry too. I have no idea what it means. I highly doubt that they are releasing an update. It is a nice dashcam and it is still very reasonably priced for the features that it has, especially WiFi, and for the excellent video image quality. I would just go ahead and order it if that is what you want. I hope you are ordering from here: https://www.amazon.com/YI-Camera-Recorder-Vision-Golden/dp/B01C89DTFI because they are the official distributor.
As for the GoPro, unless they have modified it, it doesn't turn on and off with the car ignition, you have to do that manually. Therefore, it is not a good idea to use it as a dashcam.

They give discounts for "honest and unbiased reviews". I usually steer clear of products from companies who think they need to influence reviews.
I own one of these:

The video quality is pretty good, but there's a lot of wide angle distortion on the edges of the video. This is pretty common with a lot of dash cams since they have extremely wide angles of 140-170 degrees usually.
I believe this is a chinese dash cam someone is importing to the USA and selling, but I've had 0 issues with it. You can review footage straight from your phone, and it works pretty well. Sometimes you have to let it "buffer" the video, but you can download clips straight to the phone too. This feature is what made me look at it over others in the same price range, especially if I were to get into an accident, I could just whip out my phone and playback the evidence to a police officer.
Aukey also has a few on Amazon with good reviews too. I kind of want to try one out, but I have my current DDpai dash cam mounted with 3M tape, and it'll be a pain to remove! I might grab one for a "rear camera" in case someone were to rear end me at a red light.
EDIT: Xoami also makes the Yi dash cam now apparently. I have plenty of their security cameras and have had a good experience with them, and their apps. Now I totally want to buy one of these: http://www.amazon.com/YI-Sensitivity-Definition-Outstanding-Performance/dp/B01C89DTFI/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1463015228&sr=8-18&keywords=yi+camera
