GoPro Hero3+ Black vs Silver

[Kemik]

Hi guys,

Looking at these two cameras. I only really need 720p because it is just for fun and I would like to prioritise battery over resolution. 120fps would be sweet for some slow motion recording too.

The reviews I've read indicate silver at the same resolution and fps will last an extra 30 mins (!!) compared to the black but the video quality isn't as good. I can get the Black for only £15 more than the silver (including the remote) will be getting a spare battery either way.

Can anyone recommend one or the other?

Thanks

Get the black. The batteries in these things are horrendous so it really doesnt matter about fps etc - it will drain away in no time.
the black has all the options of the silver plus more so its worth the £15. The remote isnt really that big a factor between the two as its a nice to have, but to use it means sacrificing even more battery life.

ebay is your friend for batteries, I recommend at least an extra 2.
