Last week I was browsing Dealzmodo and found that the Go Pro Hero3 Black was $329! It’s usually $399. At the time I rushed over to the Apple store and bought it. I thought I got in on a great hidden deal! Well not so great and not so hidden. This morning I saw a Best Buy ad that said they were selling the Silver edition for $249.00. On further surfing I found that it’s listed everywhere now for $329 Black and $249 Silver. If they follow their upgrade schedule of a hardware update at about every year they’ll be due for one soon.
The Go Pro Hero3 is already more camera than I need. What I hope they do in the next hardware update is to offer a higher capacity battery or a way to plug in power through the case. I may return this one and wait for the next one to come out.
