Hero has come out with a new line of GoPro cameras! I've been drooling over them for since they came out. This time they came out with three different types at different price ranges. Here's their website with the price breakdowns and specs. (http://gopro.com/hd-hero3-cameras) There's the white, silver, and black- $199.99, $299.99, and $399.99. The casing for all three is waterproof for up to 197 feet! The black comes with a remote, waterproof up to 10ft, and is also wifi enabled and app compatible- meaning you (or someone else) can control the camera from your smart phone! The white and silver you have to buy the remote ($79.99) separately.

What I think is awesome is that the promo video has girls using monofins to freedive with humpback whales. They nailed our corner of the market with that one ;)

Here are some videos comparing the GoPro2 and GoPro3. For full effect, be sure to turn the HD on and to the highest setting.

My beloved and I have pre-ordered one already and should be expecting it to arrive this week. We got the whole bundle - complete with the WIFI app.

We've got the original GoPro and we're upgrading! I use it for my swimming and he uses it for his japanese swordfighting (kendo).

A nice touch to the GP3 is that the lens has a flat screen over the fisheye to help prevent scratching.

Yeah, we're excited! :cool:

I know that my man has one, he uses it mostly for snowmobiling videos (he is wicked good at some of the stuff he can do...but I won't ever ride with him again lol)

I really want to ask him if I can use it to get really good underwater video of me swimming. Otherwise I am going to beg him to get me one for xmas. That way I have my own :) I love the idea of using these :)

I think I might ask for a GoPro 3 for Christmas. I've been eyeing these things for months. And I need something better than my iPhone in a waterproof bag xD
