I´m planning to buy the HERO 3+, which one should I buy for normal use, maybe to scubadive also, the Silver or the Black? Thank you. And what accesori

It is not such a question of purpose but a question of megapixels and video quality. Both have waterproof casing and accesories but the real diference between black and silver editions is the video quality (4K vs 1080p) and photography resolution (12MP vs 10MP). Maybe you'd need a floaty backdoor if you're going scuba diving. Hope it helps.

I have just purchased the Silver edition. It is absolutely fantastic! You will need a micro sd card but there is a 32 GB 48 MB's Per Second Sandisk card up for 15$. I purchased the sporting EEEKit 21 in 1 Go Pro Accessories Kit consisting of everything you will ever need. I recommend the Silver Edition for everyone!

I never trust Amazon to send a new version of anything. I swear they shipped refurbed stuff quite often....

I understand, Blue Diver. I'm torn because I'm traveling along the Rhine River next month and really wanted to upgrade to the FZ150, but in the end I will probably just stick with my FZ35 which does a good job.

I much prefer the OP?TECH to the Black Rapid for hiking. It's easy to keep the camera from bouncing against the hip by adjusting the length -- you'll find the length that's right for you.

I have been using the G1X (the orginal G1X, not the MkII) underwater since it was released. I use the Canon WP-DC housing for it, which are pretty compact and give you a full range of controls underwater. I have been very happy with the results. You can check them out on my Flickr page: flickr.com/photos/bluewavechris . The image quality is better than my previous G series cameras underwater, due to the larger sensor. Not quite as good as my DSLR quality underwater, but that is understandable due to lens quality/glass size more than anything else. The G1X gives me excellent images without the bulk of a DSLR housing in the water.

It's just a head strap with a GoPro camera mount...I have a Hero 3+ black and it works just fine - should work just fine - love it better than the chest mount...

Did you have any other issues with the camera? I am weighing between buying this camera or the Pentax underwater camera-WP10. I will use this camera to do a website on the Thousand Islands in Cocoa Beach as well as in the Bahamas underwater snorkeling so any input would be appreciated. How was the battery life? Easy to operate, such as spacing between the buttons for big fingers? Thanks and have a good day.

I have a Hero 3+. It fits the Dive housing (which is the same as for the Hero 3) and there is an adapter to fit the stock Hero 3+ housing.

The XZ-1 Olympus that I bought and love so much is not underwater camera. If you can get that one with underwater option, you will like your pictures. With my experience, using ART, the color came out so beautiful. Trankiem

Good Nicole! This filter is hero3 +, I would remind you that the LCD only came a back door and not change the complete housing.The hero3 brought the case that enduring 60 meters and is clearly distinguishable by the small screws on the lens.So I recommend that before buying the filter look good in the photos and the model of your camera body.Filter is 100% worth, improves the image severely!I hope resolve you doubts!

I don't know anything about the Hero 3 other than it's more expensive than the Hero 2 Silver I ordered. I'm believe the Hero 3 offers added features, but at a price. I used our Hero 2 Silver for the first time last weekend on an airboat, and I'm very pleased with the video, and function of the camera.

I just returned from a 17 day ride around the west with my Hero 2 and I'd go with the Hero 3. The Hero 2 did great photos but you have to reach up on top of your helmet or if mounted on your bars, reach up and press the button on top. The Hero 3 comes with the remote control built in, and you can have that on the tank bag, etc. and it solves the problem. I took over 200 "video clips" and there were times I was never sure if the camera was running or not. The Hero 2 is cheaper but if you add the remote to it, you're getting close to the cost of a Hero 3 anyway. Go with the newer technology, buy the Hero 3. IMHO. ;-) I just returned from a 17 day ride around the west with my Hero 2 and I'd go with the Hero 3.

I have the Hero 3 White, and it does NOT fit. It is too big. On the packaging, it says that it works with the Waterproof Housing, which is the additional Dive housing, not the waterproof that comes with the Hero3 White.

I have the DMC-ZS20, and I've found it to be fully suitable for my needs. Has a fully manual option, as well as aperture and shutter priorities, and the automatic mode works great too. Also has a suite of built in shooting "scenes", one of which is specifically for underwater. This mode has my pictures from dives already looking decently colorful even before doing any correction. It is still just a point and shoot, so it doesn't have the largest sensor and can struggle in low light, but for amateur underwater photography I've found it to be an awesome camera/case combo.

Very big difference. If you have the money buy the black edition. Better Lens, more speed and capacity. Here is a chart that explains the differences. http://gopro.com/product-comparison-hero3-cameras

Like everyone else has said, they are essentially the same camera. The deciding factor for me was the underwater housings available for them. I love Canon elph cameras for scuba diving, they sure beat the heck out of other bulky alternatives. The housing for the 940 is far superior to the one for the 1400. Canon tried to introduce a new type of housing for the 1400 that limits the functionality of the camera while underwater and is more prone to flooding. The 940 housing is tried and true, giving you full functionality. You can buy an Ikelite housing for the 1400 that is better, but still not as good as the Canon housing for the 940. For most people this probably isn't an issue, but was huge for me. Like everyone else has said, they are essentially the same camera.

Yes I believe it is and it comes in a blackout housing as well and they are both waterproof. Here's a tip you can shut of fish eye @ the camera by setting it to 1080p medium. With all the changes and accessories we just might as well wait for the Hero 10+ black. See a pattern here. That's how gopro get's rich release little by little with features and upgrades and new parts as they go. In 5 years we'll have 40 gopro's and gobroke. How bout zoom gopro.
