Thinking of getting a gopro wonderin if it's worth the money getting the 1080p -$300 or if the lower quality is just as good like the HD hero 960p for $180

960 isn't compatible with the new lcd screen and it is missing 1080p at 30fps i think thats it.

^^this is what you're really missing out on !

i hardly ever even use the 1080 mode, but i do use the 60fps one virtually all the time ...

I own the 1080 hd helmet hero gopro and have to say its one of the best  camreas i have. i compared it to my buddies 960 gopro and the diffrence is amazing. the 1080 looks way sharper and has much better color contrast. i would deffintly suggest going all the way on this one

Because the 720p @ 60 fps is by far the best feature of the GoPro. Get the 1080.

The 960 doesn't work with the 3D case... so I'd say go for the 1080.

I'm excited to try out the 3D case with a friend's camera! It's going to make 3D edits so popular.

It's really worth the extra loot. If you don't have the cash it's still a sick cam, but it is def worth it to spend the extra loot if you've got it.
