The Hero3 Black Edition is GoPro's most powerful camera yet, packing pro-quality video and unique outdoor-specific features in a smaller, lighter, WiFi enabled package.
Compared to its predecessor, this new camera is 30% smaller and 25% lighter, and two times more powerful. It's waterproof to 197′ (60m), capable of capturing ultra-wide 1440p 48fps, 1080p 60 fps and 720p 120 fps video, and 12MP photos at a rate of 30 photos per second, making it the world’s most robust portable HD camera.
Other key updates include a reduced-distortion aspherical lens, redesigned audio system, and Wifi compatibility (remote included), making it easier than ever to capture and share your most heroic feats.
Note: This camera requires a MicroSD card which is sold separately.

still not sure
I dont know if theres something wrong with my camera or if the camera is just the way its supose to be but the camera recorded awful in 1080p have to stick to 960p or 720p to get good image and thats only after i deleted the update that i downloaded on gopros website the battery life is only about 1hour long on lower resolutions and the camera heats up to the point that you cant touch it i dont know anyone else how has one so i can compare also the recordings are broken up into 0 minute files doesnt stay one whole file ( 1 hour film means 6 files)
