Unlike the previous generation, the HD Hero 3 sets cards MicroSD. Works reliably with microSDXC card with 64GB and more what is just on vacation a great advantage. The card is formatted by the camera automatically with exFAT. Has accompanied me the camera in December to about 50 dives and very served well. The image quality is convincing, I miss currently only a red filter for the new housing on the part of GoPro. The camera has no image marvel in bad ambient light. Even the large to very large wide-angle (at 1080p few degrees less than 720p) is used to. As action they shared the fate of their fellows and does not therefore push.
The White Edition currently more than 200 cheaper than the Black Edition. The Black Edition has the great advantage that they processed more FPS, which is important for effective slow-motion action shots. On the WiFi controller can, if one owns a smartphone, without. Those who want to shoot pictures with the camera, which I put the Black Edition, however, very fond of.
