I recently bouhgt the Hero 3+ Black Edition one
month ago.Soon after when the Hero 4 came out I had to try it and I ended up
returning my Hero 3. You're probably wondering why did I get the Hero 4 Silver over the Hero 4
Black and the Hero 3+ Black?
3 Reasons:
1. The Hero 4 Black is $499 and does not come with an LCD (because of heat issues from 4k they could not put on an LCD). For some maybe an LCD isn't an issue, you decide on that.
So really if you bought an LCD BacPac for the Black edition, it would cost you a total of roughly $580 compared to the $399 of the Silver. This is a $180 difference! Nothing to snivel at.
2. The two modelsboth have improved sharpness compared to the Hero3+ Black.
This video compares the sharpness of the Hero3+ Black, to the Hero4 Silver, and the Hero4 Black:

As you can see the sharpness between the Hero 4 Black and the Silver is the SAME. They both have the same upgraded sensor/lens and it's definitely improved over the 3+ Black. Yes, the 4 Black can do 4k at 30 FPS, 2.7k48, and 1080p120 while the 4 Silver can only do 2.7k at 30 FPS, 1080p60 (it can do 4k 15 FPS but that is not really usable for most purposes). But to be honest, that is the only improvement and it is a $180 difference! At this moment I cannot justify 4k for that much of an additional increase. I am happy with what the 4 Silver offers AND I get an LCD which is extremely convenient.
