koukie Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I wonder if it comes with a build-in LCD screen? To see what you are recording. I know you can get it as a extra.
koukie Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Gaan seker weer vrek duur wees...Somebody on the hub said the other day they bought two somewhere oversee for the price of one in SA. Just dont support the SA market.

DR ◣◢ Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 That is starting to get better and better. 1080p is more than good enough for now but what we really want is that resolution to be shooting at 125 to 250fps. Lets wait 3 minutes and see.

jcza Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) At a San Francisco launch event GoPro has just revealed the next addition to its line of action cameras, the Hero3. The Hero3 claims specs that are 30 percent smaller and 25 percent lighter than its predecessor, with a resolution that's up to 4x higher and it has WiFi included. The top of the line Black Edition (pictured above) is capable of capturing video at up to 4K res -- if you're willing to drop the framerate down to 15fps -- however thanks to a processor it says is 2x faster, it has also doubled frame rates at lower resolutions. That means 1080p60, 1440p48 and 720p120 modes are supported for your super slow and still-HD capture needs. The Silver Edition maxes out at 11MP stills and 1080p30 video, while the White Edition drops down to 5MP stills. All three versions include WiFi (no BacPac necessary for remote control via the just-released-on-iOS app) however the Black edition includes a remote that can control up to 50 cameras at once with a 600ft range and is waterproof to 10 feet deep. It will also be available as a $79 accessory for the lesser versions.As far as pricing, the Black Edition is $399, the Silver is $299 and the White $199. Pre-orders are scheduled to start at 12:01AM PT (3:01AM ET), and there's a handy counter on the GoPro site if you otherwise might forget. The variety of models and ubiquitous WiFi may help fight off competition at the pricing low end like the new ContourROAM2, among others. Naturally we were in the house and will have hands-on pics and impressions soon, check the gallery for pics of the box and detailed specs.
