What's great about it: Easy to USe
What's not so great: Failed
Got the Silver for daughter grad present. Worked great until we updated the firmware. It did not work at all after the update. We took it to Best Buy the next day and they exchanged it for a new one with out any problems. The new one works fine. I think we will wait a while to update this one until they get this issue fixed.

Fun Camera

What's great about it: great HD video
What's not so great: everything is wide angle
Great camera for taking fun action shots. Get the "chesty" chest strap; it makes a good point of view. I downloaded the latest firmware and have not had any of the problems that others have reported (prior to firmware update).

What's great about it: sharp pictures, lots of options- stills, movies, slow motion, everything. Fairly easy to use once you get used to it.
What's not so great: Doesn't come with small owners Manual. Online download manual only. battery gets hot on replay, shuts
This product is amazing . It does just about everything you could imagine and it is so tiny in size. Fairly simple in design and once you get used to the logical sequence of the buttons it is fairly easy to use.
This product is very versatile and probably capable of profession quality
pictures/ movies. I have seen and taken some fabulous shots with this camera. Amazing memory cards ( tiny and 64 GB, Wow) yield huge record times. No issues with battery life so far, although cold temperatures will shorten run times. There are lots of accessories at
reasonable prices. The only real complaint is that I miss having a small users manual for fast references. Manuals are available on line.
I did notice that the camera battery overheated in the REPLAY mode
and the automatic sensor shuts the camera down to protect itself.
Well worth the price. (bought 2 months ago)

Video quality was fair, software crashed multiple times during import/conversion, with default conversion setting videos ran in slow motion. Way too complicated, - the video feature on my still camera was of much higher quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: size
What's not so great: not sure yet,
My son has wanted one of these for a long time. It was easy for him to start it up and get to taking videos of him 4 wheeling. Attached it to his helmet and off he went. He has had a lot of fun with it. Will update if I can on here after we go on a cruise this summer as he is taking it with us. He wants to see how it does on excursions. So far he loves it and that is what I was hoping for.

What's great about it: Compact, Simple, Lots of fun.
What's not so great: Nothing remarkable.
I purchased my Hero3 Silver in 4/13 to add to my pair of Hero2's. After playing with it for a couple of days, I got a second one. The 3 has a great picture, and will compare to the H2. It's water proof, dust proof and great fun. The built in WiFi is great, as you can control your camera from an I-Pod/Pad/Phone while seeing what you are recording. It has several different recording modes and effects. When done recording just pull the SD card and put it in your computer to watch and edit your video. They recharge with any USB source. The Hero3 , like the 2, is very simple to use. Takes no special knowledge or skills. Keep in mind, that while the picture quality is very good, the quality is not quite as good as shown in the advertisements. Decide what you want to do with it, and research the accessories you will need. You can mount it on your lawn mower, airplane, on your head, or your pet. One great plus with GoPro. Their customer service is the best I have ever experienced. Out of 4 units, I did have one develop a problem after almost a year. Within 2 weeks I had a new one. I love my GoPros.

What's great about it: Great picture quality.
What's not so great: Would have liked if it came with the instructions. Had to print them from the website, and it was 60 pages
Everything is cool about this camera. Just didn't like I had to print the instruction guide from the website. For the price of it I think it would have a fancy colored instruction book. I ran out of printer ink and had to go buy more to finish it. But other than than set back I really like the product.

What's great about it: Decent price, fun to find different viewpoints
Has an app for android (prob apple too) that gives you via secure wifi from the camera a preview on the view from where the camera is positioned. Makes it fun to find all the different views and angles on my bicycle for my rides.

What's not so great: Battery life
I originally had a lot of issues with this camera. The battery life was very bad it would not fully charge and batteries would only last 10-15 min. I ran the software update originally when I first got the camera but I still had all the issues. So I ran them again which seems to have removed the problem. I use it with the Gopro App on my phone works well.
