Customer Reviews First Timer Happy With Purchase By Jeffrey Gardner on October 5, 2014 (test videos below) I went into the store today to buy the Hero3+ Black edition and they were out of it. This was just released so I decided to get the Hero4 Silver Edition because it is basically a small upgrade to the Hero3+ Black (from what I could read). This is also my first GoPro and the first camera of any quality in a long time. I also purchased a 64gb Pixtor SanDisk Class U3 microsd card. I'm really enjoying this product so far. Having never had a GoPro, the touchscreen seems like the only way you could control this camera. It seems like it would be difficult with buttons. It seems to respond very well. It times out as you are shooting video. At first, I didn't realize this and I thought the camera went off or it stopped shooting, but if you tap the screen the picture will come back. I'm sure this saves on a lot of battery. It took me a little to get used to the Wide and SuperWide len, but I think I'm starting to get the optimal range for shooting. You have to be pretty close obviously to get good shots. You can put the camera in Medium or Narrow focus on some resolutions (around 720p is when you get the Narrow option), but I haven't played with it all that much. Without the housing, the camera is tiny. The lens protrudes a bit so you will have to be careful carrying it around without a case. It feels solidly built. The hdmi and usb port is covered by a tiny piece of plastic that I'm no doubt going to lose. I will just have to be careful about where I set this little piece down. So far I've shot two videos and edited them in the GoPro Studio software that I downloaded (free). I shot one in 1080p30fpsSuperWide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I've had the GoPro 3+ and now I bought the GoPro 4 so in this review I'm going to help decide. To start off with, the Menu system of the GoPro 4 is a lot easier and faster to navigate. Selecting menu options doesn't require scrolling then selecting then exiting to choose it. Also, a one touch "settings/tag" button replaces the Wi-Fi button which works great because you don't need to scroll through the menu to find it. The "Quick Capture" feature which allows one touch recording when the camera is OFF, is a great feature since it takes less than 2 seconds to begin recording. The LCD menu system is also much quicker and easier to navigate. Also very high frame rate at 4K/15 and 1080/60 which is incredible. WVGA/240 is still available which wasn't disclosed in the advertised specs that I read. The LCD for the GoPro 3+ works fine with the GoPro 4. The cameras are the same physical size therefore all GoPro3+ accessories work except for the battery.   Excellent upgrade to the Hero 3+ Black and a better value than the Hero 4 Black! By Knowledge on October 9, 2014 I just purchased the Hero 3+ Black Edition 1 month ago. Hearing the Hero 4 came out I had to try it. I ended up returning my Hero 3+ and getting the Hero 4 Silver. Why did I get the Hero 4 Silver over the Hero 4 Black? Three Reasons: 1. The Hero 4 Black is $499 and does not come with an LCD (because of heat issues from 4K they could not put on an LCD). So really if you bought an LCD BacPac for the Black edition, it would cost you a total of $579 compared to the $399 of the Silver. This is a $180 difference! 2. The two models BOTH have improved sharpness compared to the Hero 3+ Black. Watch this video to compare the Hero 4 Black to the Hero 3+ Black: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BacBT268-pQ&list=UUTs-d2DgyuJVRICivxe2Ktg Then watch this video to compare the Hero 4 Black to the Hero 4 Silver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNazYkq4omY&list=UUTs-d2DgyuJVRICivxe2Ktg As you can see the sharpness between the Hero 4 Black and the Silver is the SAME. They both have the same lens and it's definitely improved over the 3+ Black. Yes, the 4 Black can do 4K at 30 FPS while the 4 Silver can only do 2.7k at 30 FPS (it can do 4K 15 FPS but that is not really usable for most purposes). But to be honest, that is the only improvement and it is a $180 difference! At this moment I cannot justify 4K for that much of an additional increase. I am happy with what the 4 Silver offers AND I get an LCD which is extremely convenient. 3. Compare the battery life of the Hero 4 Black vs the Hero 4 Silver here: http://gopro.com/support/articles/hero4-camera-battery-life At 2.7k 30 FPS, the Black only lasts 1 hour and 10 minutes while the Silver lasts 1 hour and 50 minutes!! This is the SAME resolution. Why? Read more ›
