They look to use the newer underwater type housing too.

looks like I'll be putting the breaks on a hero 2! Anyone have any info on the hero 3 i.e. how much, when available and where we get our mits on one?

www.gopro.com has the info.

The White Series is similar to the Hero2 specs 5mp/60fps plus built in wifi (no remote) at $199us.
The Silver ramps it up a bit for $299.
The Black has the remote and the 120fps/11mp stuff for $399us.

All have the new case and wifi built in.

I hope you can turn that off.

The Black edition does 1440P at 48FPS!

It's only looping if you choose it from the menu. Hit the record button on the remote and it saves the last xx minutes as a separate clip.

You'll be left with a pile of 5min (or whatever) clips to go through instead of 4-5hrs of footage...

Loop recording is like cookies and cream icecream on a hot day that doesn't melt! Perfection

Yes, but I was slightly less excited when I just went to buy one and they are not available until the "estimated" release date of the 14th of November. Then I also read:

As much as this new trinket has my juices flowing I'm going to sit on my hands until I see the Sony & Samsung POV offerings. Been under development & rumoured about for quite some time now. Can't be too long before they hit the shelves.
