and here’s the post from earlier this morning of footage from this little powerhouse.

Last night GoPro initiated the launch for the new GoPro camera. I’m intrigued. So I’m going to go join in the fun – I’m on the first flight to San Francisco in just a few hours. Stay tuned.

Here’s what we’re told so far:

_Tiny: Especially when you consider that it shoots 4K video at up to (a bit sluggish) 15fps. Drop the resolution to 2.7K, and it shoots 30fps. 1080p video can be captured at 60fps and 720p frame rate at 120fps. This is a lot of cinematic punch in a tiny body.

_Sexy: GoPro seems to have made some great design modifications for this camera. It looks solid but is lighter and smaller than the Hero2.

_Faster: the image processer is 2x as fast as the Hero2

_Pricing: the Black Edition is $399, the Silver is $299 and the White $199. Pre-orders started at 12:01AM PT (3:01AM ET).

[Stay tuned for updates once I have the chance to play with it.]

  1. Will the old 3D sync cables work with the GP3? Or maybe they redesigned everything from the ground up and make ’em smaller?

    The 3D sync made my cameras act a little buggy at times but imagine shooting 3D with 2.7k video! would be just amazing!

  3. i’d get one if i didn’t have one at all, or if i only had the gopro1. seems like a great new design, but not worth the upgrade if you already have the gopro2. gopro is probably the 3rd best marketing company out there, after Nike and Apple– you’ll go nuts trying to keep up with their products. GoPro2 is awesome. only sucky part is low light. the 3 looks awesome, but stiff probably sucks in low light. i have several DSLRs for serious photography. what do you take pictures of or film with your GoPro? Exactly. Lets keep things in perspective

  4. LOVE the fact that they’ve added 1080p60 and 720p120 — better than the DSLR video. Oh, AND WiFi. AND remote control via iPhone. (Hello? Are you listening Nikon and Canon? Oh, I guess not.)
