the silver is like a mini gopro hero2 like other post if you planning to get the silver might as well get the hero2 with the wifi pack from costco. You will get better battery life because the wifi has it's own battery source. It's a bit bulkier but for our application it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. The black does have higher resolution and more features but battery life sucks a$$

I just got the black and it is an amazing piece of camera equipment...that being said I have found that the wifi remote is pretty much useless. I tested it this past weekend and found that when it's working properly it's the best thing....but when it screws up...which is often...it really, really sucks...but on the Brightside I have found that the gopro app works really well with it. The quality of video that you can shoot with the black is absolutely amazing as compared to the 960 my last gopro...and the 960 was amazing....
Get the black. Oh and buy a lot of extra batteries....

Oh yea, batteries - when you inadvertently leave the camera on and not recording it will run out of battery in no time flat. I think my GoPro just sitting there turned on with WiFi enabled (and not recording) will run the battery down in just over an hour.
I'm sure sometime in the future they will come out with a waterproof housing with a power port. I'd love to run the camera off my big fish finder battery... |

Does the better video quality even really matter? When you post it to youtube the quality is reduced dramaticlly.

Yes, the worse quality you start with, the worse quality you get on your upload to youtube. What you also get with the Silver over the 2 is the flat lens which enables you to have focused video underwater. The App is compatible with all the 3 models and I believe with the 2 also.

the remote is great but keep in mind that you always have to have it handy, keeping it in a bag or in one of your hatches will not help any. My suggestion: rig the camera so that you can reach it without having to fumble around with any extra items(remote). Additionally, you can setup the camera with the OneTouch button, this allows the user to start recording as soon as you press on one of the buttons. I have my camera rigged so that I can simply reach back, press the button and it will start recording without me skipping a beat.
