Possible New GoPro Hero Specs Leaked

As with any tech rumor take it with a grain a salt until GoPro makes an official announcement.

Reportedly, the new GoPro will record 4K video at 30 frames per second, and will be able to shoot Full HD 1080p video at frame rates of up to 120 fps. For true slow-motion video, the camera is said to support 720p HD video at 240 fps.

Further alleged specs include a new 13-megapixel sensor and a new lens with better low-light capabilities, electronic image stabilization for shake-free video, an in-camera HDR mode with tone mapping, and remote viewfinder playback (which should come in handy if you’d like to see a live-view of what the camera records, but cannot look at its display due to the way the camera is mounted).

Olympus TG-3

I've been really pleased with results from my Olympus TG-2 so if you're in the market for a new waterproof point and shoot you should consider this latest offering from Olympus.

Olympus has just introduced a new Tough camera, the Stylus Tough TG-3, whose claim to fame is impressive macro photography capabilities including an automatic focus stacking feature that’ll help expand your depth of field when you’re shooting really tiny subjects.

Basic specs are a 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor is joined by a TruePic VII processor, a 3-inch 460k-dot LCD and built-in WiFi. On top of that, the TG-3 also boasts a fastest-in-class 4x 25-100mm equivalent f/2.0-4.9 lens, GPS, water depth and elevation sensors, and an e-compass. The TG-3 will also accept accessory lighting and wide angle and tele-converter lens options.

The TG-3's expected to ship this June for $350 in black and red.
