1. GoPro 3 Rumors!

    Is the GoPro 3 news dropping tonight? It looks like different cameras in GoPro’s latest pics. Some random dude named Dustin Evans (with no credibility so don’t believe everything you hear) on Facebook writes:

    Camera Line Up:

    incredible new settings. Available mid to late November to ship.
    4K/15,
    2.7K/30, 1440/48, 1080/60, 960/100, 720/120 12MP Photo 30 shots in 1
    second (plus many more burst settings where you can control how many
    shots in the burst and how long the burst lasts) WiFi Built in Remote
    Control Included (only on this model - remote is $79.95 by itself) - if
    you net out the price of the remote, the Black Edition is only $20 more
    than the Silver Edition. Advanced Features / Capture (Protune, White
    Balance, Continuous Photo, and Picture in Video - PIV capabilities)
    Improved Housing (Locking Latch / Dive Lens)
    This
    is the one camera model that comes in two versions; the Adventure
    Version and the Surf Version. The surf version simply comes with a surf
    mount, but no floaty back door.

    and earlier he wrote:

    HD Hero 3 is a huge step ahead of the HD Hero 2. People are going to
    love these cameras. We will offer three models; the HD Hero 3 White
    Edition, Silver Edition and Black Edition. We will have three price
    points, and all three models have WiFi Built
    into them. They all share a new form factor which is the same
    rectangular shape (which lends itself to be mounted anywhere, including
    the Chest), but it’s much thinner than the HD1/ HD2. The HD Hero 3 +
    Backpack is the size of todays camera by itself. All three models will
    come shipped with the new housing which incorporates an underwater lens
    into the housing and an improved locking latch. The camera needs to work
    as well under the water as above the water since it’s waterproof. We
    did have to go to the Micro SD Card format since SD Card Trays are way
    to big for this camera. There are ton of other improvements; I’ll send
    out a Camera Comparison Sheet once we have that and are allowed to send
    images.

    Whatever news is coming out tonight, I know it’ll be sweet! Stay tuned on GoPro’s FB Page.
