As always, the white balance sometimes goes bananas. 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.

did you use (or not use) protune on both?
Maybe this is causing the difference... cause the silver version has the same components than the hero 2 (with wifi)... GoPro is mentioning this in one of their videos... give me a sec...

Haha GoPro hides this video... but I still found it :-P
