I am camera ignorant, does it matter that it is a 2011 model ?

 

Man, I wish people wouldn't post stuff like this, I'm tempted enough as is just by getting the weekly e-mails from GoPro. Keep trying to win one but have been entering for over a year with no luck.

And everyone remember that you also need a SDHC card to go with the camera because it doesn't come with one.

There is a class 10 32GB card on amazon for only $20 with the free shipping.

 

The newer the model the more features and more accessories that will work with it.

 

Yes, you can get 32GB SDHC cards pretty cheap, but camera and card is still less than the normal price. I've been wanting to get one as well. As far as the year goes, 2011 is when the GoPro HD Hero2 came out with a better sensor. This is that camera. I don't think there have been any changes (maybe computer firmware for it but that's upgradeable). Hardware wise HD Hero2 is the most recent
