Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought 2 of these bad boys, and one of them was bricked by an update. My only complaint is that the * are hard to push.
I know it is a fairly old model noq but even then, takes breathtaking videos. The videos look great from the standpoint of color, vividness, sharpness and generally mirror what i'm seeing while out on my board surfing.

Highlights
Quality
Don't have any experience with the newer ones - sure they are better but for what i got it for this works perfectly!
Price was fair and quality is excellent.

Price
This was awesome and i got it at a great price.
Competitiveness
However compared to the newer models, a very difficult menu system.
I ended up sending this back because it wasn't the hero3 edition.
