The new GoPro 1080HD camera will soon be available on the market. I believe the end of October will be the venture date.
Here's the information on the camera:
HD Surf HERO
US$ 269.99
Pre-Order now. Ships last week of Oct-2009. Your credit card will not be charged until your order is shipped.
GoPro’s HD Surf HERO is the world’s only 1080p HD on-board video and still photo camera. Professional quality 1080p / 960p / 720p HD resolutions record at 30 and 60 frames per second (60 fps in 720p). Easily mounts to any surfboard in seconds. So light, even top pros claim they don't notice the camera on their boards.
The HD Surf HERO can also shoot 5MP photos automatically every 2 seconds while you surf. With the simple press of the shutter button on the paddle out you can capture photos during your entire surf. Other photo modes include 5 / 10 / 30 / and 60 second time lapse as well as single shot, triple shot, and self timer modes.
The batteries last for over 2.5 hours of HD video or automatic photo taking, so you can document your entire surf with a single push of the shutter button on the paddle out.
The included adhesive base mounts in seconds and is proven in heavy surf from Hawaii to Tahiti, Southern Mexico to Northern California. Or you can install an FCS™ fin plug into the deck of your board and then use our patent pending camera mounting plug to allen key your HD Surf HERO into the FCS™ plug.
Lighten your load on your next trip and use the HD Surf HERO for your non-surf related photos and videos, too. Optional accessories make it easy to mount the camera on your wrist, bike, scooter, jet ski or helmet. Tow surfing? A chest harness is available for that, too.
Waterproof to 180’ / 60m and protected from rocks and other hazards thanks to its removable polycarbonate housing. Replacement housings and lens kits are available, making repairs or refurbishing your HD HERO camera affordable and convenient. It's a GoPro...go for it.™
What's Included:
5 Megapixel HD Surf HERO Camera
1 Rechargeable 1100 mAh Lithium-Ion Battery
1 Waterproof Quick-Release Housing (180’/60 m)
1 3M™ Adhesive Mounting Base
1 FCS™ Plug-Compatible Mount
1 Quick-Release Buckle
1 Leash
1 USB Cable
1 Component Video (HDTV) Cable
1 Composite Video + Audio Out Cable
Warranty: One Year
Go to there site and for a preview of the 1080 HD format. One thing about the new camera, the sun spot has disappeared.
I will be selling the camera for $195.00 plus tax and shipping. Place your order now. A 50% deposit is required.
Heck, I thought the old camera had some great video, the new 1080HD blows the old model out of the water. Don't get me wrong the old camera is still a great little camera.
I have mine mounted to a telescopic pole and have captured underwater footage of bass and some trout here in the Lower King's River. Stay tuned to this site for some more video footage from Baja. I'll be down there starting on Saturday. Hopefully we'll get some underwater footage of the yellowfin.
