is there anywhere in Edmonton that has them? I thought they said mid November for retail stores.
I saw a couple on Ebay for $499 - $549. hopefully thay settle in the $399 range.

I haven't seen any. I want to buy a couple when they are available, and hope they settle in at $399 as well.

hero3 comes with built in wifi but you still need to buy the lcd screen but at least you don't have to buy the wifi.....and can use the lcd with wifi whereas hero 2 you cannot use them together....

I ordered a black from GoPro and it came today. Can't wait to try it. Looks good. A good bit smaller than my old hd.

Did you pre-order the Black? I didn't think they were available until the beginning of December, mid-december for some other stores.

For those wondering the differences

Black - Shoots video in 1080 @ 60fps, 720 @ 120fps, 1440 @ 48fps, 4k @ 15fps, 2.7k @ 30fps. Takes 12MP pics with a 30fps burst. Better low light performance, includes wifi remote, $399.
Silver - Shoots video in 1080 @ 30fps, 960 @ 48 fps, 720 @ 60fps. Takes 11MP pics with a 10fps burst, $299
White - Shoots video in 1080 @ 30fps, 960 @ 30fps, 720 @ 60fps. Takes 5MP pics with a 3fps burst, $199.

Wifi built in to all of them, compatible with the GoPro app, so you can use your phone, or tablet to preview what your shot looks like (no need for the LCD screen).
