The big news at GoPro this year was the introduction of a second HD model that has been added to help bring the same near-bombproof HD video to the masses at a very attractive pricepoint. Here's a run-through of the goods. The new camera, the HD Hero 960 is designed to be price conscious with simplicity in mind. GoPro has cut out a few options (1080p, 60fps recording and the Hero Bus expansion port) to bring it in at an even lower price. It keeps its 720p and 960p at 30 fps, and also retains its 5 megapixel photo function. The cutback in features on the 960 equates to a rather large cut in price. The HD Helmet Hero released last year retails for $299.99USD while the new 960 starts shipping to retail stores this week for just $179.99USD.
