No, not a 401k....you can't go on a boat buying spree with this. It's the new HD. Super duper HD.

The new GoPro HD Hero3 records in 4k. The new TV technology just trickling out now plays 4k.

What is 4k? Glad you asked.

The current cat's pajama's....1080p is 1920x1080 pixels.

4k..... 4096 x 2160 pixels.

Basically, it's like an amp that goes to 11.

If you haven't heard about it....trust me, you will.

Then you close one eye. It transfers all your seeing power to the other eye. :black_eyed:

Nice, I have been waiting for the announcement of the new GoPro. Didn't want to buy one and then a new model come out soon afterwards.

You're pretty much screwed if you're hoping to stay in front of the curve. GoPro will always have something you'll want after you make your first purchase. Lots in the pipe right now too. Just start somewhere...if you can afford a repower in the daytona then you can afford a GoPro or 3.

A little more of a 4k explanation...

Sony, LG and Samsung are the current players but if there's any traction through black friday you can bet your cornhole there are going to 4k TV's clogging up commercial time right before the super bowl.

They had an 8K at C.E.S. this last year. Maybe I was 16K. Whatever it was, it was clear. People were shoving their faces right at the screen and it was still pure.

The GoPros or the TV's?

GoPros are what they are. TV's are about 5k for 4k

Isn't 4k already on the Hero 3 Black? I think it's a slower frame rate though, 15f/s or something like that.

Yes 4k is 15fps for NTSC
2.7k is 30 fps

However, RED1 cameras have been used by studios and a few TV shows. They shoot in 4k but at a much higher frame rate.

I believe the gaming world will be the first to harness the ability of 4k and the rest will following as far as output....the new PS4 is set to have 4k support along with the new Xbox. Probably why sony is one of the first to market with the display.

I was asking about the Cameras. I have no clue what they cost!

For the new GoPro HD3 it's

The Black Edition- $400 for a nice neat little package of a camera, housing, mounts and a wifi remote. The blacks can record 4k, 120 fps...all kinds of cool crap
The Silver Edition- $300...camera, housing no wifi remote but has built-in wifi to the camera. Slightly downgraded (but still cool as hell) HD...only records in 1080p
The White Edition-$200 same as the silver but a slower frame rate on picture burst mode.

I haven't shopped the old HD2's in a while but I do remember a buddy got one New Old Stock of the motorsports edition for $150. The older ones are still cool as hell and still record in 1080p but I think the color saturation and color balance of the 3's is incredibly better.
