    Battery life is big. I want one.

  • mpgxsvcdmpgxsvcd

    Battery life is not an issue for me anymore. I just plug mine into a portable battery back and let it run. It would have to have 5x the battery life before it would really matter to me.

    The auto frame rate is nothing more than variable shutter duration. It will still record to a single frame rate file. However, the data for multiple frames in that video can be from a single capture. Basically now the shutter can span multiple frames.

    If you are recording 720p @ 120 FPS in low light it will simulate 720p @ 30 FPS in a 720p @ 120 FPS container. The Panasonic cameras all do this in auto video modes.

    I think I am going to wait for the Ambarella9 GoPro. These updates are not enough to justify buying a new one.

    Here is another advertisement for it.

    GoPro have kept the video mode details of the new Blk 3+ off the dealer info presentation ( which i will post here after the official release) so dealers don't leak it. I heard it is 4k30 2.7k60 and 1080p120, but how they pulled that off and recorded reliably to microSD card, dissipated the extra heat and at the same time increased wifi speed will remain to be seen.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    heard it is 4k30 2.7k60 and 1080p120

    Hmm. Seems like quite a progess.

  • RamboRambo

    Yep, I've had my doubts too for the reasons I posted above, but......

  • mpgxsvcdmpgxsvcd

    @Rambo

    Is it still set to be Announced tonight? I will definitely upgrade if what you said turns out to be true. Thanks for sharing that info.

  • RamboRambo

    As far as I know all the web pages are set to go live ( they made a brief appearance) and all going well should be tonite but usually the GoPro website crashes a bit on release nite or FW upgrade. Actually I can't post the official info as it has dealer margin details and other internal info in it, but it's basically what is on Reddit.

    Yeah, if those specs are correct, it is what will prompt people to upgrade for sure.

  • kurthkurth

    @Rambo - this would be unbelievably great...or just unbelievable ! What I find unbelievable is ....that they would be the first cheap 4k/30p , they would have the first 2.7k/60p, they would have the first 1080/120p, at less than $500, and all that, they would just call it a + upgrade. Doesn't make sense. I hope my logic fails me, but I'm in serious doubt mode.

  • mpgxsvcdmpgxsvcd

    I am starting to think that what they left out was the GoPro 4 specs. The 3+ Silver and black will start selling immediately. The GoPro 4 will be announced tonight but won't start shipping for a month or so.

  • RamboRambo

    No the official release sheet definitely has the Hero 3 Black Plus minus the video specs ( no mention of HD4) but anything's possible, even the duel lens single body 3D camera I posted about earlier.

  • RamboRambo

    Ok looks like the video specs for the Black Plus are basically unchanged, the doubts were confirmed.

    @Rambo

    Hmm, it seems also that Silver is now much closer to Black.

  • RamboRambo

    GoPro website is now live with the new cameras, all info. www.gopro.com

    Yeah VK, only a few differences, this is probably what the original Blk should have been, increased battery life, faster wifi, better optics, audio volume record increase, low light mode for dummies who insist on using high frame rates and an ultra super duper super view mode. Big price though $529.

  • RamboRambo

    GoPro's official new demo video using the HDHero3 Plus. Question their customers will be asking... How do I shoot footage like that?

  • SuperSetSuperSet

    After watching that video = my life sucks.

  • mrbillmrbill

    Mine too

  • konjowkonjow

    Did any one found exact weight of Black3+ in grams?
    I mean more specified then X % lighter.

  • rigsrigs

    Camera: 74g (2.6oz) Camera with housing: 136g (4.8oz)

  • rigsrigs

    Go Pro sure does it the right way! They announce and deliver their new products all on the same day. Just ordered the GP3+ Black on line for 399 plus 15 for shipping in 5 - 7 days. Nice!

  • konjowkonjow

    Thank you @rigs So GP3 weight is the same. Housing is 10% lighter. If the 30% would be true then GP9 will be 10g :)

  • mpgxsvcdmpgxsvcd

    @rigs

    It is pretty easy to ship right away when your improvements are largely software based. I am going to stick it out for the GoPro 4.
