good - it's smooth and looks great on an iPhone
make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images
solid and well-built
resulting package is more compact and easier to access
excellent IQ
LCD and pretty good battery life
far more user-friendly and quick than the remote
The GoPro application makes life much easier
overall size and weight is very impressive compared to all previous models
Good color and white balance
in-built wifi is fantastic for transferring files wirelessly
00 works great and easier to use
good quality and much cheaper alternatives available on

Setting up the wireless connection is quick and straightforward

Features like gps and nfc are nice additions
simple and most useful feature
image quality is decent and the battery life is very good
it has been wonderful to share my time underwater with family and friends
amazing and robust camera
waterproof case is a nice bonus too

the camera is not very sharp or in-focus for distances
whistling
shrill wail-from-hell
the terminal cover is not tethered to the body of the camera
quite expensive
the live preview is only available in select capture modes
Battery life is poor with Wi-Fi enabled
the edges on the lettering were blurry and obviously not as sharp as
exactly designed to take still photos
details are blurry
have a resolution
the camera was 22 months old so no warranty
The new battering did not work either
of buying one and they are not cheap
The menu system is a little cumbersome
Wi-Fi does put a hurt on battery life
fewer features and no Wi-Fi remote
turn Wi-Fi off separately
too obtrusive to the image itself
editing features are not as refined as the likes of iMovie and Premiere Elements
this delay is still a little annoying
not ideal
Only got the plus version
RIDICULOUS lag with the WiFi app
lack of even basic manual controls
awkward way of positioning the body
only continue to get worse for the people in Europe
tips and Travelling
without a big LCD screen is limited
are only scroll-down and select buttons
the hardware that comes with it for mounting is pretty terrible
have the time or hardware to devote to video editing
its battery life leaves much to be desired

GoPro Hero3+ Silver Edition Review

3.0

If you're going to get a GoPro, spring for the $400 Hero3+ Black Edition. While $100 less expensive, video quality from the Silver Edition seriously pales in comparison.
