Small size, Crisp images in nearly all lighting conditions, Durable waterproof case can survive almost anything, Wi-Fi remote control, Smartphone app, Protune mode for cinema-style images
Battery life is dismal, No off-camera battery charger, Lots of small pieces that are easy to lose, Getting started isn't straightforward for newbies, Included mounts won't cover all activities
Nearly all of the issues we had with the GoPro Hero3 were the result of us being complete rookies with the camera. Guilty. Yes, we should have known that we would need additional accessories if we wanted to attach the camera to a bike. We should have be...
Abstract: Action cams have become very popular in recent times. They're very compact so they're easy to bring with you on vacation and smaller outings. They're so light you can mount them on clothing or a helmet, and tons of accessories and expansions exist for t...
Abstract: GoPro is the leading name in action cameras, and with good reason: the GoPro Hero 3 is simply the one to beat, whatever it is you want to film. Full HD video, 12 megapixel camera snaps at a rate of thirty per second, Wi-Fi enabled - what more could you...

Small, lightweight, Image quality and slow motion, Several different modes, Relatively little electronic noise, Accessories (housing, remote control)
Low battery life, No screw thread for a tripod, No touchscreen in standard version, 4K mode not necessarily worthwhile, No microphone minijack
The GoPro Hero3 Black Edition is easily the action cam with the biggest range of features right now. It gives great image quality (for a pocket camcorder) and comes with good accessories. But the lack of buttons makes the menus difficult to navigate throu...
Quality results in variety of conditions, crop-in options for different angles of view (up to 1080p only), small size, Pro Tune recording options, Wi-Fi enabled
Battery life too short per charge, user interface none too friendly, 4K frame rate too low for use, needs extra accessories to make the most out of it, Wi-Fi is an added battery killer
The GoPro HD Hero3 is an improvement over its predecessor in almost every possible way. Although we don't care for the 4K capture, the 120fps 720p option is excellent, quality is great and there are plenty of pro options too. The one hugely irksome iss...
