Thats why they look alittle different. Hero 3 lens is not as wide as the Hero 2. Still enough. The glass and the coating is better on the Hero 3. Most noticeable when in contact with bright lights like in the first clip. With the built in wifi, better lens, smaller and a better housing. The Silver edition is totally worth the extra money. Seems to do better with noise. Just slightly better image quality than the Hero 2. If you already got a Hero 2, then i would go for the Hero 3: Black Edition. 4k, 2.7k etc.. for the extra bump in quality.
