Ok, so as most of you probably already know, there is a ALL NEW GoPro HERO 3 coming out soon.

Faster, Smaller, Lighter, Better Quality, Built In Wi-Fi..etc..etc.

This Post is a General Discussion on what your opinion on the Two Models coming out of HERO 3.

They have the SILVER SERIES, which is is basically an updated HD Hero 2 camera with WiFi built in, the thinner size and and improved housing.
1080p/30fps, 960p/48fps, 720p/60fps
11MP photos
Up to 10 shots per second in photo burst mode

And then for $100 MORE.. They have a BLACK SERIES, Which includes the WiFi Remote ($80 value) and a better Camera
4K/15, 2.7K/30, 1440p/48fps, 1080p/60fps, 960p/100fps, 720p/120fps
12MP photos
New photo burst modes with up to 30 shots per second

There are hundreds of way to use and mount a GoPro. But, the most common, is Mount on your Bike, or Mount on your Helmet.

In these situations, it's a TOTAL PITA to have to (POWER ON, Make sure it's on, START. Recording, STOP Recording, POWER OFF, Switch to Camera Mode, Take some Rapid Shots, Switch Back to Video, Change Video Settings...etc..etc..)

That's where the WiFi Remote comes in. You strap it to your wrist like a Watch, and it has a MATCHING LDD Screen to exactly what your Camera is doing. Plus, a Big ON / OFF and Record Button.

So what's your opinion on what GoPro is doing.

Is it worth spending $100 MORE for the Better Camera and the WiFi Remote ?

or would you just using your iPhone, or Droid device as a remote instead . and save the $100.?

Once again, just a General Discussion on these models. This isn't to debate GoPro vs. something else, or what they sell for.... etc. JUST Discussion on GoPro's Decision to have these two models.

i'd prob skip the remote and use my iphone. I love that they are going smaller it will aid us in getting a gyro mount set up (since none of the manufacturers will give us one) once we get one in hand we'll see just how light it is and go from there

I'll go for the case and remote. I ride dirt too and will not be strapping my iphone to my bars or something like that. I still have a first gen gopro and have been on the verge of buying a new one. Glad I didn’t.

The black edition also has better frame rates at all resolutions that the silver doesn't have. Also Black can record at an even higher resolutions than the silver as well.

This. If I were in the market, I'd get the black over the silver and gladly pay the extra for the ability to run 720 @ 120FPS...That's ridiculous...just hope the battery could keep up.

I would believe it to be worth the 100$ extra. Wifi built in is a huge plus over the hero2 and the remote would be a great investment for me. Mounting on your car, or areas of your motorcycle not accessible, the remote would cut out a lot if unwanted footage and waste of battery. And for the people who have multiple you can turn them all on by remote.
