Or should I hold out for the GoPro Hero 4 later this year? I love mine and plan to replace my Black 3 with a 3+ very shortly. If budget isn’t a concern and you like to mess around with camera features you can’t go wrong with the Black 3+. The Silver 3+ would be my choice of the two due to its low cost (you can find it online for just a little more than the white). If you are simply capturing footage for upload to the net and you want to keep the budget tight go for the White or the Silver 3+. Having had mine for an absolute age I still haven’t got to grips with all of the different settings. The only downside is that it is really good. This takes the GoPro into the realm of a fully featured camera that can cope with an array of different lighting/shooting conditions. You also have the ability to change exposure, metering etc etc. If you can afford the additional cost of the camera and want to further proof yourself for a period of time then the Black 3+ edition may well be the one for you. The GoPro Hero 3 Plus Black edition ramps everything up with more choice settings than most can usually deal with. Ultra-sharp 6-element aspherical glass lens Improved image sharpness and low-light performance compared to HERO3: Silver Edition WVGA/120fps, WVGA/100fps, WVGA/60fps, WVGA/50fpsįOV Ultra Wide/Medium/Narrow 1080p/720p, Ultra Wide 960p/WVGAīurst – 10 stills per sec, 5 stills per sec, and 3 stills per sec The Silver 3 was my favourite GoPro camera for cost vs features.

The GoPro Hero 3 Plus Silver edition sits just below the Black 3+ in terms of its features but is the next generation of GoPro compared to the White 3. Ultra sharp 6 element spherical glass lens It is still a very capable POV camera and shares many of its features/components with the GoPro Hero 2.ġ080p/30fps, 1080p/25fps, 960p/30fps, 960p/25fps 720p/60fps The GoPro White 3 sits at the bottom of the range. There is no GoPro Hero 3 Plus White edition at this moment in time. At the moment GoPro have three slightly different spec’d cameras based on the GoPro Hero 3 and GoPro Hero 3 Plus platform.Īt the top of the range is the GoPro Black 3+, closey followed by the Silver 3+ and then finally the White 3 which has been carried over from last years range. The range is expanding/changing on an annual basis. Picking the right GoPro for your needs is forever getting a little more challenging.
