its the HD, but the guy said he updated the firmware and it looks really nice.

what go pros can use this new firmware then?

@jclmedia That's not a very good deal.

GoPro posted on Facebook today saying they are making an "Epic announcement" tonight... Any of you have an idea what this might be? GoPro3? Partnering/bought out by a major camera company?

If they have 120+FPS @ 720p, I'm in.

@Hallvalla Fake. Just a Hero2 pic with the Wifi logo and 120 added. http://reviews.mtbr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Go-Pro-HD-Hero-2.jpg

Most interesting thing in the pic with the GP3 in the lower left is that it's HDR. It is a photo, though, but there's always a chance it could get to video. Somehow. Hopefully. :) At worst, maybe it's just exposure bracketing in photo mode.

@Hallvalla, those are the specs I've seen on a GoPro HD3 order form but it was't complete.

No idea what the announcement is tonite, it could be HD3 or a hookup with a big Event like Red Bull Spectacular or some other strategic Partnership. GoPro runs on hype, expect anything.

@subco haha

And there's more

"The 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.

Camera Line Up:

HD Hero 3 White Edition - $199 Retail. This is basically an HD Hero 1 Camera (5mp photo sensor, etc.) that includes WiFi, dive lens and the new, thinner form factor. Available 10/21/12 to ship.

1080/30, 960/30, 720/60 5MP Photo 3 shots 1 second photo burst WiFi Built in Improved Housing (locking latch / dive lens)

HD Hero 3 Silver Edition - $299 Retail. This is your HD Hero 2 camera with WiFi built in, new form factor and improved housing. Available 10/21/12 to ship.

1080/30, 960/48, 720/60 11MP Photo 10 shots 1 second photo burst WiFi Built in Advanced Features / Capture (Protune and White Balance) Improved Housing (locking latch / dive lens)

HD Hero 3 Black Edition - $399 Retail. This is brand new technology with 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)

My guess is they won't have a LCD because of the WiFi app to a smartphone.

I would love the 1440/48 and the rest. Seems like too big of a leap, more of a GoPro 4 feature set, which subco already posted a leaked image of. ;)

@Rambo it was a joke

Those specs will be amazing if true. I'm a sucker for slo-mo/hi-speed and underwater cams. I'll be preordering.

ha, that looks to taken from a camera on his foot - looks good.
