Really? Source?

So GoPro will be using a new Sony sensor to compete with the Sony Action Cam? Strange. Or, are you just messing around?

I'm hoping for 120+ FPS, somehow, someway.

Source(s) are a few people in the action sports industry. I won't say which one, but gopro is heavily involved in it. The sony sensor is the only part that seemed fishy, but the rest I can believe.

One weaker rumor that I haven't really heard confirmed is that there will be three different models with different specs.

and this is just a personal assumption, but I'm willing to bet they were used on the Stratos jump and will be promoting that footage when they release the news.

That would make total sense. Thanks for the reply. Hope it's shipping soon, I've always wanted one and I'm ready to "jump" in.
 
Here is what I heard:

Some Resellers are apparently taking orders for HD3 cameras.

Was confirmed and posted on a Resellers FaceBook Page and does read like a GoPro press release the way it's worded.

______________________________________________________________________
Due to arrive in Late October.

All Hero 3 cameras come WiFi enabled. They are 30% reduced in size, 25% less in weight, 2X faster, 2X more powerful and 2X better low light performance.

Silver Edition comes with 2 Quick Release mounts, 1 flat and 1 curved adhesive mount and 1 3-way pivot arm. $299.99

Black Edition comes with all of the above and the WiFi remote plus more. $399.99 (Moto / Surf / Outdoor Models)

The new LCD screen is a touch screen and and it works even with the waterproof backdoor.

So... Apparently these are the details/spec for the brand new GoPro Hero 3 to be released soon. Black edition sounds rad, 120fps @ 720p.

"The HD Hero 3 is a huge step ahead of the HD Hero 2. People are going to love these cameras. We will offer three models; the HD Hero 3 White Edition, Silver Edition and Black Edition. We will have three price points, and all three models have WiFi Built into them. They all share a new form factor which is the same rectangular shape (which lends itself to be mounted anywhere, including the Chest), but it's much thinner than the HD1/ HD2. The HD Hero 3 + Backpack is the size of todays camera by itself. All three models will come shipped with the new housing which incorporates an underwater lens into the housing and an improved locking latch. The camera needs to work as well under the water as above the water since it's waterproof. We did have to go to the Micro SD Card format since SD Card Trays are way to big for this camera. There are ton of other improvements; I'll send out a Camera Comparison Sheet once we have that and are allowed to send images.
