[QUOTE=befu;3927688][QUOTE=4bus;3926635]. Also note on the new Hero 3, the high res setting has no "fish eye" I was pleased to see this after my first video this year.
I have the silver. The black is waste IMO. I use my phone for the remote, and the res on the silver is way more than I will ever need. If you are looking to make professional movies that will be watched on DVD the black is the way to go. The 7 minute video I posted took about 5 hrs to upload to YouTube and it is not even the highest quality for the silver.

The white is the res of the old unit, with the features of the new unit. Still a good camera

got a white hero3 this morning . barely used it and already see how awesome it is . downloaded the app ,super easy to use .

of course I got this one friend who cant be outdone and has to have the best of everything so he ordered a black . thats ok though he'll get some really good video of me haulin a** away from him in his sea doo baby boat !

For best sound you have to run an ext mic! I've got 2 and both kock the internal gopro mics ass!
Audio-Technica PRO24CM - ~$60 on amazon - Picks up the deep bass tones the beat
Drift Innovation Ext Mic - ~$20 on amazon - most realistic sound but not super deep/bassy

Here is a vid I just made yest with the Drift...

Got one, bought mine from Amazon for $90 with priority shipping from the west coast. took 4 days to deliver and for $90 I am impressed. Not going to put GoPro out of business, but this is also a camera I can let my kids use and not worry. Took some video this past weekend of tubing (not on my boat) and I am very happy.

Look up the SJ1000. Also available on Ebay. Make sure you get the three button case, it is newer and works great.

Look at the review done by techmoan in Egland.

Hopefully later this week or next week I will have some video of my boat. Actually in the water. Running. Hopefully....

Nice video of the donzi, good run. Curious, didn't know Ohio was different from Indiana laws on allowing passengers to sit outside the cockpit while underway? I remember reading about that law in the Indiana rules book, and I think that is also the law up in Michigan.

Nice run, looked like fun.

It is here to I beleave.. I told him to stand but he didn't listen and I was not paying attention to him I was watching every thing elce. Lesson learned about people that haven't ben on a boat befor....

You are definitely the "Prudent Mariner" and you were alert watching for traffic and changing conditions...but the dude in the back nearly went over the transom more than a few times and finally realized he was on the ragged edge. You must have really had a few "Oh ****" moments after watching this back.

Nice run in a superior piece of equipment. Nothing like a "Don" boat to make the day come together.

Thanks for sharing.
