GoProHD was already surprising film makers with it's quality to size ratio, but they seemed to have found a way to make it even better. Not just 2x sharper images (bigger sensor), but more FOV (field of view) options, 120fps (yes!), more TimeLapse options, faster 10 photos in 1 second, but also mini-HDMI and external Mic input? Holy cow.
You think that's crazy, what about the other features that include Wi-Fi Remote Control, Wi-Fi video preview + playback, Wi-Fi streaming to web,Camera control via smartphone, tablet and computer app?? Yeah it's really something to see, and you can only find it available right now at the GoPro site. This will sell out for sure. You can also check out a video tutorial about all the new features and innards at the product page (click here)

@ Serge, even if I already opened it? I don't think they will accept it then. Could be wrong.

@ Austin, Amazon has a 30 return policy as well.

@Serge I wish I could but I bought mine off of amazon so I don't think it is covered.

I'm tempted to get one of these for my quadcopter...but I know its just gadget lust...the hx9v is still more capable for helicopters...
Serge
For all those who have purchased within the last 30 days... They do have a money back guaranteed. Return it and get the 2.0 version.

While the new camera looks AWESOME, I think them listing the 120fps was kind of gimicky since no one is going to use the lower resolution.
jonto
120p! ... but @ wvga res :/ but still amazing unit!

GoPro is just plain amazing

I wish at the very least it had exposure compensation. Sure, I know this isn't a 5D, but when you're shooting into the sun, it meters conservatively, and most of the scene is black.

I just bought one at a local Best Buy. Have always wanted one. Thought I'd give it a shot.
I used a 10% off coupon:

Haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Tempted to actually sell my 2 week old gopro since I bought the motor sport kit for only 230. If I could sell it for a decent price I might upgrade, wonder how much I'd get. The wifi feature, 120 frames, sharper image and more area of view are all really tempting.

Post author@LensDude - You can find a variety of different sizes. Requires that you disassemble your GoPro to replace the stock lens. Found here: GoPro HD Lens Kit Change FOV.

@LensDude @ jarrett
Ragecam on ebay do sell self install interchangeable lenses.

Very cool technology!
The main issue I have with these cameras is how wide the lens is. That fisheye look is way cool on your first day but the look gets old pretty quickly...
jarrett
do these things have any exposure controls?
Juan
my question is ... GoPro Hero can use my hd 2 (naked) with my former housing accessories and old hd hero 1?

Post author@david - Available now, the link is in the article.

when does it come out?

Quite possibly a perfect self-contained timelapse camera too.
Bill Voelker
I was hoping 120 fps in 1080p mode. Oh well.. better than nothing. 🙂
jarrett
Austin, you might look at a sony hx9v...its not 120, but its a solid 60p at 1080p...the slo mo is magnifique!
Austin
And I literally just bought the HD Hero 2 weeks ago >.> Oh well At least I got a decent deal on mine. If they had 120 fps at 720 I would upgrade in a heart beat, but wouldn't we all?
jarrett
they should really think about making the lens interchangeable. I'm not sure what size the sensor is, but there are a plethora of small fast c-mount cctv lenses, from 4mm to 17mm, f.08 to f1.7, that are cheap. Make the exposure lockable, and you have a magic box...
