I believe GoPro is still offering a $100 rebate with the trade-in of any digital camera

Really? I'm glad I never threw out my hero 2 (I think) that has been nothing but a paperweight for years...

So, any thoughts on Hero 7 silver vs black?

I’ve got a Silver and like it
I’d like a Black as well for its superior capabilities
Two cameras, two views

Any especially useful features in the black that are not on the silver?

Not sure if you dive at all, but my understanding is the black is the only one of the 7th gen GoPros that works with their dive housing.

Right now Target Cartwheel has 20% off coupon for GoPro HERO 7 Silver, so the price should be $160. Red card users also get 5% extra.

In store price for the Hero 7 silver is $299. So you would have to price match the online price and use then use cartwheel. YMMV when it comes to price matching and cartwheel being used together. i never mention cartwheel , just have it added on your cartwheel and pay with your wallet on the target app.

The hero 7 silver battery doesn't come out so you can't swap batteries. When I bought mine a few months ago I went with the black. Glad I did. I found that the prices were the same everywhere, but some places had a discount for your first order. I got mine from Tri State Camera https://tristatecamera.com/ and got 15%off with free shipping.

Thanks for the info. That's a major limitation, IMHO.
Are you pondering what I’m pondering?

This guy claims to know what the Hero 8 will be like:



If he's right, it doesn't seem worth the price to me.

Just curious if anybody has the DJI Osmo Action, as I've seen that mentioned (positively) several places.

I've heard a lot of great reviews for the DJI Osmo Action. I wonder how they would be under salt water.
