Sounds like somethings boiling up at gopro

on that image it says 1080 120


If this has 1080p 120 fps that will be poo pooing amazing.

Good for go pro

I have the Action Cam and the 24Mbps 720p 120fps mode will overheat and shut down if left sitting. I wonder how the the Gopro will do 1080p 120? Maybe a low bitrate
 
The 2.7k/30fps is the most interesting, considering the tests done to the GoPro, the 1080 feature in the HD2 resolved between 450-500 actual lines. How will the 2.7k do? will it be able to get close to 1000 lines, hmmmmmmmm?

Higher Quality > Slower Slo-Motion, anyday.
 
Obviously we'll have to see the quality at all these GREAT specs, but for now, gotta' tip your cap to GoPro. They killed it with this release in their market. Nice job, GoPro. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
 
For me 1440p sounds perfect!
Just film at 48fps the whole time and you can either go to 24fps with slomo possibility or buy two and go 3D in Hobbit style.

The little camera that could, I love my GoPro's, they go places my other beats cannot. RC Heli & Cable Cam are what mine are used for at the moment.
 
I'm just realizing that says 4kp, what's the width in that case? must be huge ... 5.3k at 4:3? almost 8 at 16:9?

EDIT: Just saw the other thread. I was confused by that photo on previous page it said 4kp... specs of the other thread gopro hero 3. cheers all

If a $400 GoPro (that fits in my pocket) can do 4k@12fps why can't a $30k Canon C500 do 4k@24fps? (without a separate device for an extra cost)
Or for that matter why can’t a $5500 Panasonic HPX250 do 1080/60p when a GoPro3 can at a fraction of the cost?
I understand that a GoPro is pushing out a more heavily compressed codec amongst many other technical factors, etc. but I think the pricepoint reflects that.

Seriously not trying to start a flame war here, I’m just tired of what seems like overly conservative business practices by the camera manufacturing giants..

HPX250 is a 100mbits 10bit 4:2:2 camera. You can make any camera record 1080p 1000fps if you want to. The motion will look very slow but it will lack huge detail. These reel videos look wonderful when you combine super wide angle with cool actions but dont mix apples with oranges. Gopro is the best action cam in the market but it can't match the quality of hpx250, ex1, c100, f3 etc.

The 1080p @ 24fps in the GoPro HD2 resolved 450 lines of resolution, less than half of what 1080 actually is. Don't be surprised if the 60fps in the HD3 isn't exactly the same, hence if you compared it to the 720/60fps in the HPX, the HPX would still be higher resolution.

I don't however, understand why cameras like the HPX250 don't do 1080p/60fps, I do understand in some instances it's tecnological constraints and in some other instances they don't want to step on the shoes of other cameras they've made.
