GoPro HD Hero 3 Silver Edition review

 

A slimmed down HD Hero 2 with Wi-Fi? Yes please. But is there enough in this Silver action-cam to stop us waiting for the flagship Black Edition?

Sharp underwater focus ; Slicker build ; Wi-Fi with remote control ; Bigger, less fiddly, buttons

It's not the Black Edition

The HD Hero 3 Silver Edition continues to defend its crown as the first choice in action cameras, but expect it to be outclassed by the Black Edition.

Should have red it carefully

 

Good camera. Wish it had more FPS options, and I wish it balanced light better, but I like it.

Great camera. Versatile, lots of accessories. I love the Wasabi power batteries, had some leftover from my last hero (got stolen)

I should have read the title more carefully. I thought I was getting a Hero3+ instead of a Hero3. This was my fault

Best Action Camera Ever

 

This is the best action camera I have ever purchased. The built in WIFI feature is the best. If you are a die hard sports person that loves to take actions shots while your surfing, skate boarding or biking this is the perfect camera for you.

Awesome camera/toy

 

Practice using it before you want to use it seriously, takes time to learn the best settings.

The camera arrived several days before my micro sd card (wish one was included), so had plenty of time to read all the instructions and get everything else set up on it ahead of time. Once the card arrived I quickly got the update loaded and ran some...
