After trying the GoPro for various activities, including mountain biking and ice skating, we could see why the GoPro name is almost synonymous with the action camera concept. We would like to see a helmet strap in the box as standard, but image quality is...
Huge range of movie quality settings, Useful 30fps max still image burst rate, Remote and app control, Top-notch video and photo quality, Good range of accessories
Supplied software a little limited, Built-in microphone is overly directional
GoPro Hero3 Black Edition – Operation There are a number of ways to operate the Hero3 Black Edition: from the camera itself, via the supplied remote control, or via the free GoPro app that's available for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Pairing t...
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...

Versatile shooting modes for pros, More detail in brightly, lit areas, Wi, Fi built in, Lighter and smaller, Reduced fogging in the housing
Detail lost in dark areas, Colour balance can be off, Menu is still time consuming to navigate
An amazing and robust camera that can go all the places you can, and some places you can't. Better, faster, and now with higher-end video modes more suited to the pro market, it's a serious little piece of kit....

High-quality, high-resolution video, Small size, Outstanding build quality
Short battery life, 4K video hamstrung by low frame rate
GoPro's Hero3 Black Edition is the most capable action camera available today. It gives users higher resolution and higher frame rate options than the competition, but its battery life leaves much to be desired....

If you are in the market for an action camera, then the GoPro HERO3 needs to be among the models that you look at: it is lightweight, highly specialized, and produces excellent quality video, either ready to view or, if Protune mode is used, ready to edit...
The new Hero3 Black Edition is lighter and captures better video than previous GoPro models and other action camcorders.
There are no zoom options with this action camcorder.
The GoPro Hero3 camcorder is the industry standard. We highly recommend it for its lightweight and sturdy construction that takes high quality video and photos....
