Grrr I also just purchased hero 2!

Can't wait to see some fpv clips in 1080 at 60fps or even 720 at 120fps. We will see if the extra $100 is worth it.
And I also bought the hero2 just 2 days ago but I did get it at REI so I used the 20% off coupon so i can't go wrong

I was just visiting on last weekend on Hong Kong electronics autum fair and I can say that there will be a lot of competition coming for GoPro. At EXPO i saw at least 15 different suppliers that have similar cameras like what GoPro is. There are smaller, bigger, lighter and heavier cameras coming. And prices on some cameras are really great.

It will be interesting to see how market takes all those new comers. Will post few pictures from EXPO later.

I wonder if the Hero3 has the same 3-4 second lag with wifi streaming as the Hero2

Five minutes before this post went up I randomly googled "GoPro Hero 3" to see if there was anything new... This is great, too bad I already have the Hero2...
