nice footage, but need to see the raw to see how sharp it is.

First you will need a $25,000 tv to watch it on. Then get hold of the raw footage.

Apparently there is a large number of gp3 being returned. During the firmware upgrade they crash and die PERMANENTLY.
I need to delve more into this rumor.

According to the numbers I heard; 1 in 6 of that GoPro array will be returned as dead units.

Many unhappy customers though I’m sure there are many more that are happy.

Yeah I’ve been reading about the freezing issue.  I believe a new firmware is due mid Dec, hopefully they will fix it.  I’ve got mine on the charger now, just out of the box.  Will give it a spin once the battery is full.

Might take it to the beach in summer and see if I can get any footage while snorkelling.

Get some RainX for the lens.
Apparently the flat lens is even worse for getting snow stuck over it.
