I have been a GoPro user since the HD Hero I (just known as the HD Hero) and this latest revision is by far the best looking yet. The 120 fps at 720p really makes it a viable option for action sports like skiing and biking (those are as close to "action" as I get) and the slimmed down profile and integrated features finally make the need for "premium" accessories go the wayside... The added fact that it comes with the underwater housing stock makes this a much better value than the Hero 2 even at its now discounted price.
If you are considering buying a camera like this, price out the options you want and make sure that, despite the higher initial sticker price, you evaluate the entire black edition package. The accessories and spec enhancements it has over the other lines (and the previous generations of the camera) make it the best value for someone who wants to get the most out of this gadget. Take it from a guy who has owned EVERY accessory made for the camera... it adds up quick.
I will be picking one of these up when the hype dies down a bit and I can find the proper distribution channels. Liking the low light enhancement for fishing! If anyone gets ahold of one of these in the near-term, post some videos in various test scenarios... it'll help some of us make more informed decisions (I promise to do the same.)
