HD Hero 960 coming this fall for $180

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/gopro-bringing-high-def-helmet-cams-to-the-masses-launching-18/

if it still has 720 60p then that is going to be even more amazing of a deal then the HD Hero
if it only has 960 30p then that would suck, all you have to do is pay a little more for the HD Hero 1080

I really dont know for certain, it was just announced but Im 99% sure it will be the same quality as the current HD Hero, just minus the ability to shoot in 1080p, which most people on NS don't shoot with anyway.
The big question is if its limited to 960 30p, which would blow, or if it has the 720 60p that everyone uses on the current GoPro.
If it has 60p then buy
If it doesnt then buy the HD Hero 1080

Doubt it. Since the whole thing is encased in that plastic bubble, there's never gonna be much sound, I think.

is the 720p 60fps only better than the 720p 30fps for slowmotion or is the 60fps better quality and less "lagging" for filming skiing

720 60p is great for slow motion. Having 60 frames shot per second shows more motion, and when you stretch it down to 30fps you get a clip 50% slower.

Filming in 60p and playing back at normal speed is some digital looking shit......atleast in my eyes.

Well since you guy all seem pretty interested I just emailed GoPro and this is what the said

Hello Tanner,

The HD HERO 960 will have the original 4 resolution modes (to include 720p at 60fps).

Unfortunately, we do not have a release date for the HD HERO 960 but anticipate it's release in the fall.

Let us know if you have any further questions.


Many Thanks,


GoPro Support
