Here's some more info I stole from some guys review: - Both models now have WiFi, GPS, accelerometer, and full ANT+ sensor capabilities (previously only the higher end VIRB had it) - Addition of gyroscope, increased sensor data collection at higher rate - Slight resolution increase to 1440/30p for VIRB XE - New slow-mo options: 240fps @ 480p, and 120fsp @ 720p (XE only) - Natively waterproofed to 50-meters (no external case required) - Flat front glass/case that Garmin says will repel water droplets - Ability to connect to supported Bluetooth-enabled OBD sensors (automotive primarily) - Ability to connect to Bluetooth 4.0 audio devices (i.e. microphones) - New ‘Pro’ mode for adjusting white balance, sharpness, ISO, exposure bias, and color profile - New auto image rotation option, which ensures photo/video is right-side up - New continuous photo mode - New photo burst to 10 frames per second for VIRB X (previously was 6 fps - New photo burst to 30 frames per second for VIRB XE (previously was 6 fps) - Ability to have camera ‘sleep’ in between long-interval timelapses (up to 120-seconds now) - Dedicated photo-taking button (also automatically tags video highlight too) - Ability to capture Garmin HRM-RUN Running Dynamics & Garmin Vector Cycling Dynamics data - Improved microphone that isn’t blocked by rubber stopper, works underwater - Ability to share videos/photos directly from Garmin VIRB mobile app - Ability to create gauge/dashboard overlays form the Garmin VIRB mobile app on videos - Ability to control and stream up to 10 cameras from the Garmin VIRB mobile app - Support for 128GB micro-SD cards (increased from 64GB) - Uses GoPro mount on camera itself-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Sponored by NZ Aerosports, CYPRES 2, Tonfly & L&B Team Dirty Sanchez #232 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMK 3 #2 April 15, 2015 I watched two videos on this camera; looks interesting. Regarding the overlays, I'm curious how they got wind direction (sailing clip) and rpm (trophy truck clip)??"Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
