Got the announcement email this morning, lighter, better, faster according to GoPro.

There are three versions ranging from the $199 "white" edition that looks to be an upgrade of the 5 megapixel version, the $299 "silver" edition that is the V3 version of the 11 MP Hero2, and the $399 12 MP "black" edition that includes the wifi remote, does 1080P 60FPS, 720P 120FPS, and has some other interesting features...

Smaller, lighter and 2X more powerful, again.


The Wi-Fi enabled HERO3: Black Edition is the most advanced GoPro, ever. No expense was spared during its development, resulting in a GoPro that is 30% smaller, 25% lighter and 2x more powerful than previous models. Wearable and gear mountable, 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, the HERO3: Black Edition is the world's most versatile camera. Built-in Wi-Fi, GoPro App compatibility and the included Wi-Fi Remote (normally a separate $79.99 accessory) make the HERO3: Black Edition all the more versatile, still.


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.

Have been trying to chase this down with GoPro but it appears that the GoPro Silver is basically a repackaged GP2 and the Black Edition is the only one substantially changed (optics/sensor/processor)
