So I see they are coming out with the GoPro3. I have been using a hand-me-down sea-life camera and I was really impressed by the quality of video from the GoPro that a fellow diver was using. Granted he had about $1200 in lights, though it was still amazing none the less.
I have been reading a couple of things about cameras, but am still a newb. I read there is some distortion on some of the GoPro's and you need a flat lense to improve distortion when you go diving. I read the info on goPro's website for the GP3, "Add the totally updated flat-lens waterproof housing that delivers..", does this mean it is incoluded or do you have to pay extra for this?
Also I am wondering if the I should go with the Black Edition as it has better low light as well as more FPS and Megapixels?
I also see suggestions on using a red filter, to improve your images?
Do you guys suggest adding the LCD backpack?
Lastly, I use Intova lights when I dive. They seemed the best bang for your buck. I am looking at getting a 2 wide angled higher Lumen lights. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
