Looks like the HD Hero2 does 120FPS filming and 10 photos/sec at 11MP. That’s rad! Slow-mo will be super smooth.

Thanks for sharing, Dan.

Looks like the 120 FPS is only in WVGA mode.

2X sharper means they now have 2 glass lenses (is this admittance that the old model was not sharp? - or that more glass lenses means better image)
The processor is also much faster (again admittance that the old processor couldn’t handle the job)
Stereo mic
Battery warmer
LIVE VIDEO STREAMING
remote control

Pity they couldn’t change the shape - but I guess it’s unique and works for their marketing.

Will I be getting one - yes

How will the live video streaming work? Will that be through the wifi back pack? If thats the case, would you have to have an internet (and wifi) enabled device on you for that to stream?

yeah i like all that, just not super keen on the shape.  If they are available here around $300 I might grab one next year.  that would be a crapload cheaper than the Contour Plus.

I see it also says it’s better in low light.  That might mean a faster lens or better sensor - maybe both!
