GoPro Hero 3

That is right, just when you thought you had the latest and greatest Hero HD as in #2, now they come out with the 3rd HD Hero
http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-hero3-bl...HERO3-Preorder

It will work with the LCD BacPac and 2nd gen battery BacPac too.



Smaller, lighter and 2X more powerful, again.

The Wi-Fi enabled HERO3: Black Edition is the most advanced GoPro, ever. No expense was spared during its development, resulting in a GoPro that is 30% smaller, 25% lighter and 2x more powerful than previous models. Wearable and gear mountable, waterproof to 197' (60m), capable of capturing ultra-wide 1440p 48fps, 1080p 60 fps and 720p 120 fps video and 12MP photos at a rate of 30 photos per second, the HERO3: Black Edition is the world's most versatile camera. Built-in Wi-Fi, GoPro App compatibility and the included Wi-Fi Remote (normally a separate $79.99 accessory) make the HERO3: Black Edition all the more versatile, still.

only real real difference is the dimensions and the built in WiFi, everything else would justify me buyinga new one since i already have the Hero 2
