That is awesome. We knew it was coming...sooner than I expected though! I really like the 60 fps option in 720p mode for great slow motion. The lithium battery and larger card capacity are great improvements too.

It is not due out to this fall...in time for Christmas. No reviews yet. It isn't even on the GoPro website yet. Pretty impressive specs though. It is rumoured to sell for $300 USD.

needs better field of vision angles, somewhere around 90 to 120 degrees, 170 is too much and 54 is not enough. still waiting for the perfect cam.

These Go Pro cams make it feel so real! Would make a great xmas gift and support the BWD website with your purchase.

You can always use your existing video capable camera to record all your sessions for when you are too old to sesh........Go buy a Dicapac for twenty bucks. It has never let me down and is water proof to ten metres.
