  • Abstract:  On October 17, 2012, GoPro announced the next generation of its world-beating little camera that's seemingly everywhere. Unlike the Hero2 that looked and felt virtually identical to the original Hero, the new Hero3 is smaller and lighter. And the Hero3...

  • All Hero3s look the same, but there are distinctly different models for pros and casual users, New flatlens housing provides perfect focus above and under water, without the dome covering half the status LCD, Thinner profile, and even lighter, Lens appear
  • Why change size for no compelling reason?, Battery remains undersized and not compatible with older batteries, Difficult to tell from specs which model is for who, New form factor won't fit into any older housings, Lack of white balance or scene settings

  • Handy underwater enclosure; low distortion; good white balance.
  • Sluggish; takes very soft images.
  • The GoPro Digital Hero 3 is a cool idea that could be fun if youre swimming, but its not useful for much else.

  • Versatile shooting modes for pros, More detail in brightlylit areas, WiFi 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
  • Compared to the competition, such as the £100 ($150) cheaper Sony HDR-AS15, which already has Wi-Fi built in for live streaming, identical frame rates at 1080p and 720p plus a stereo microphone and speaker compared to the GoPro's mono and no speaker; and ...

  • Yes. It is handily the best action camera we've ever used. The footage it takes is simply unparalleled. The biggest ding against it is battery life, which is important enough to cost it half a star. If you're not doing long shoots (or if you don't mind bu...

  • Abstract:  J'ai craqué pour une GoPro et pour avoir un nombre d'images par secondes élevés (ips) même en 1080p et avoir une meilleure sensibilité en basse lumière – si j'ai tout compris – je me suis orienté vers une version Black. C'est après que j'ai lu que GoPro p...
