But we are really excited about the Hero 3 Black Edition which can shoot at up to 3840x2160 pixels at 15 frames per second. It also has 2.7k mode (2716 horizontal pixels) at 30 or 24fps, and a Protune mode that offers higher bit-rates and a neutral color profile better suited to post-processing.
The Hero 3 Silver edition, essentially a Hero 2 in the latest smaller body, also gains Protune mode for its HD output - a feature added via firmware to existing Hero 2 models. The latest models also gain Wi-Fi control to allow remote control via the recently-announced App, while the Black Edition includes a waterproof Wi-Fi controller.
The Hero 3 models have a redesigned lens, which GoPro describes as
'ultra-wide' with 'reduced distortion,' though no details of
angle-of-view or whether this distortion is optically or digitally
corrected are given. The smaller Hero 3 bodies house a fractionally
smaller battery than previous models and use MicroSD, rather than
full-size SD cards. There is also a redesigned waterproof housing with a
flat lens for the new models.The new cameras will be available in November, with the Black Edition costing around £359.

Smaller, Lighter...Better
Weighing in at a scant 2.6 ounces, the HERO3: Black Edition is 25% lighter and 30% smaller than previous models.
2X Faster Video Performance
The HERO3: Black Edition captures professional, cinema-quality
video at 2X the resolution and 2X the frame-rate of previous models
while delivering 2X better low light performance. Slow-motion
aficionados and industry professionals will love the HERO3: Black
Edition's 1080p-60, 720p-120, WVGA-240, 960p-100 and 1440p-48 video
modes while those desiring a cinematic look will appreciate the
ultra-high resolution 2.7kp-24 and 4kp-12 (Protune only) video modes.
3X Faster Photo Performance
The HERO3: Black Edition's photo performance is 3X improved, now
boasting 12MP burst capture at a staggering 30 frames per second with 2X
better low light performance compared to previous models. Still Photo
and Time-lapse Photo modes remain the same but are now joined by a new
Continuous Photo mode that captures continuous 12MP stills at a steady
3, 5, or 10 photo-per-second rate, up to 30 photos at a time.
Improved Sharpness, Less Distortion
The HERO3's reduced-distortion, 6-element aspherical lens combines
with user-selectable Ultra-wide, Medium and Narrow field-of-views to
deliver more perspective-capture options than ever before. Add the
totally updated flat-lens waterproof housing that delivers stunning
image sharpness both above and below water and you've got one of the
most powerful and durable image capture solutions on the planet.
Redesigned Audio System
Understanding that sound quality is as important as image quality,
GoPro engineers completely redesigned the HERO3 to be as adept at
capturing the subtle, natural sounds of voice and music as it is at
capturing the immersive sounds of sport. Also improved is GoPro's
already famous wind-noise reduction, ensuring that you'll hear more of
your passion, be it your engine or expletives, and less of the wind
during high speed activities.
Built-in Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Remote Included)
The HERO3 Black Edition features built-in Wi-Fi and includes
GoPro's Wi-Fi Remote accessory. The Wi-Fi Remote is normally available
as an accessory but is included with the HERO3: Black Edition. The
Wi-Fi Remote is waterproof, wearable and can control up to 50
Wi-Fi-enabled GoPros at a time from a range of 600'. The HERO3's built
in Wi-Fi means it can also be controlled by iOS or Android smartphones
and tablets running the GoPro App. The GoPro App enables full camera
control and live scene preview on any compatible iOS or Android
smartphone or tablet.
