It comes in 3 different editions: Black Edition, Silver Edition and White Edition.
GoPro HD HERO 3 : Black Edition is the flagship model with the following features:
Smaller, Lighter...Better
Weighing in at a scant 2.6 ounces, the HERO3: Black Edition is 25% lighter and 30% smaller than HD HERO 2.
2X Faster Video Performance
The HERO3: Black Edition captures professional, cinema-quality video at
2X the resolution and 2X the frame-rate of previous models while
delivering 2X better low light performance. Slow-motion aficionados and
industry professionals will love the HERO3: Black Edition's 1080p-60,
720p-120, WVGA-240, 960p-100 and 1440p-48 video modes while those
desiring a cinematic look will appreciate the ultra-high resolution
2.7kp-24 and 4kp-12 (Protune only) video modes.
Improved Sharpness, Less Distortion
The HERO3's reduced-distortion, 6-element aspherical lens combines with
user-selectable Ultra-wide, Medium and Narrow field-of-views to deliver
more perspective-capture options than ever before. Add the totally
updated flat-lens waterproof housing that delivers stunning image
sharpness both above and below water and you've got one of the most
powerful and durable image capture solutions on the planet.
Redesigned Audio Quality
Understanding that sound quality is as important as image quality, GoPro
engineers completely redesigned the HERO3 to be as adept at capturing
the subtle, natural sounds of voice and music as it is at capturing the
immersive sounds of sport. Also improved is GoPro's already famous
wind-noise reduction, ensuring that you'll hear more of your passion, be
it your engine or expletives, and less of the wind during high speed
activities.
Built In WiFi (Remote Included)
The HERO3 Black Edition features built-in Wi-Fi and includes GoPro's
Wi-Fi Remote accessory. The Wi-Fi Remote is normally available as a
$79.99 accessory but is included with the HERO3: Black Edition. The
Wi-Fi Remote is waterproof, wearable and can control up to 50
Wi-Fi-enabled GoPros at a time from a range of 600'. The HERO3's built
in Wi-Fi means it can also be controlled by iOS or Android smartphones
and tablets running the GoPro App. The GoPro App enables full camera
control and live scene preview on any compatible iOS or Android
smartphone or tablet.
Good News for Existing GoPro-ers!
The HERO3: Black Edition is compatible with all GoPro mounting
accessories and older generation BacPacs™ along with the newer
generation LCD Touch BacPac and 2nd generation Battery BacPac. However,
as all HERO3 cameras have a new size and shape they require
HERO3-specific Wrist, Skeleton and 3D housings so be sure to check for
HERO3 compatibility when purchasing any new housing accessories.
Exciting!
