After an eternal study reviews I bought a HERO 3+ Silver Edition Birthday for my 11 year old son and I'm thrilled. I've made it really hard for me because I have a tendency due to several unprofessional and incompetent Reviews Schreiber repeatedly for more expensive Black Edition down. But ultimately, what can I say, I'm very glad that I trusted my instincts. Because: The Silver Edition is perfectly adequate and above all it gives contrary to some written down here useless and above all untrue reviews a really good picture quality of the videos. Download and read a German manual does not hurt ... Blurred backgrounds there are actually in the factory setting, but which is also set to the mode and Wide is also precisely intended only for short-range where you film yourself from close range in wide-angle mode. Thus, the range is 5 meters sauscharf to CA and the background slightly out of focus. If you select a different resolution and switches to the mode medium, or narrow, you get a completely clear picture from start to finish. Control via GoPro App works perfectly. You can see the currently filmed cut and adjust the camera perfectly and fix. All settings are set `s smartphone accessible and wonderful. A slight delay via WLAN is visible, but does not disturb. It varies depending on the Smart Phone. My Galaxy S2 + get the point much better and faster than the older Galaxy Advance from my son. So, if a long delay is visible and it is jerky, liegt`s rather on smart phone than on the Cam. The CA 100, - more for the Black Edition justify itself to my knowledge, for the most part in the supplied remote control, but you do not really need when you use a smart phone and the app. Whether you really need the few extra pixels or higher number of frames for continuous shooting of Black Edition, everyone must decide for themselves. My Conclusion: The Silver Edition is a super Action Cam makes really cool videos - if you know how - and sufficient.
06/11/2014 Addendum: So I need to now to some more extensive tests with Hero 3+ Silver Edition correct a little. In our Cam it does not matter which mode and what resolution you choose. Always makes in each mode super sharp video recordings. The purchase of the Silver Edition was absolutely the right decision !!! The only shots that are blurred, or course, also, are the if it vibrates too much on mountain despite full suspension Fox elements in tough terrain. But as the camera can not help it, that's simply shake. That can not be different with Black Edition. The first test videos we looked at only on the smartphone. As do some recordings a blurred impression in the distant area. However, this is on the laptop screen purely to detect nothing. HD videos up to HD quality. Or is it even Full HD? I know that now ... not at all definitely there from my point nothing to complain about.
