Яка ікра краще – кети чи горбуші?
Сімейство лососевих представлено широким розмаїттям видів риб. Але найбільш цінні в промисловому плані вважаються кета і горбуша. Ці два підвиди риб дуже схожі між собою. Однак, їх різний спосіб життя накладає відбиток на хімічний склад м ‘яса та ікри. Для того, щоб не переплутати ці риби або вчасно помітити підступ з боку продавця, слід знати, за якими критеріями можна самостійно визначити – кета перед вами або горбуша.
Чим відрізняється горбуша від кети?
Почнемо з найпоширенішого виду сімейства лососевих – горбуші. Ця риба має світлий окрас з синім відтінком. Але в період нересту забарвлення змінюється. Брюшко починає відливати або жовтим, або зеленим кольором, а спинка стає сірою. Характерна особливість горбуші – наявність невеликих темних плям в області спини і хвоста.
Ця риба має невеликі розміри. Горбуша виростає набагато швидше, ніж кета. Це пояснюється її раціоном: він більш рясний і калорійний. За рахунок цього м ‘ясо горбуші відрізняється підвищеною щільністю і жирністю.
Чисельність кети менша приблизно вдвічі. Цей різновид є більшим, ніж горбуша. До нересту вона має яскравий сріблястий окрас. У період відкладення ікри колір змінюється на більш темний, а на боках риби з ‘являються широкі смуги малинового кольору. М ‘ясо кети дуже ніжне і еластичне. Воно чудово підійде для людей, які стежать за своєю фігурою.
Отже, як відрізнити кету від горбуші:
- За розмірами. Кета – найбільш велика.
- По забарвленню. Кета має срібний відтінок, горбуша – світлий з синім відливом.
- За розміром луски. У кети вона набагато більша.
- По консистенції м ‘яса. У кети воно відрізняється ніжністю і відсутністю жирності.
- По ікрі. У кети вона набагато більша, пофарбована яскравіше.
Яка ікра краща, кети чи горбуші?
Ікра – делікатес, який цінується в усьому світі. Вона поживна і збагачена множинними корисними вітамінами і мінералами. Ікра і кети та горбуші володіє однаково корисним складом і багатою харчовою цінністю.
Однак ікра горбуші цінується більше. Вона має дрібніші зерна, найбільш насичений і ніжний смак. Ікра горбуші вважається найкращою у співвідношенні вартість/смакові якості/користь.
Ікра кети містить більшу кількість жиру, що відображається на її смакових якостях. Ікринки щільніші і жорсткіші. Але ці властивості дають їй можливість довше зберігати свіжість і не розтікатися.
GoPro Hero3 review: GoPro bets big on its Hero3 Black Edition
GoPro’s latest generation of sports cameras is its best yet, offering tremendous flexibility, proven durability, and some of the highest available resolutions and frame rates in the business.
Antuan Goodwin gained his automotive knowledge the old fashioned way, by turning wrenches in a driveway and picking up speeding tickets. From drivetrain tech and electrification to car audio installs and cabin tech, if it’s on wheels, Antuan is knowledgeable.

Editors’ note: The GoPro Hero3 product line, released in 2012, was replaced by the GoPro Hero3+ line as of October 2013. See our reviews of the $399 Hero3+ Black Edition and the $299 Hero3+ Silver Edition. The $199 Hero3+ White Edition is also available.
GoPro Hero3
The Good
The GoPro Hero3 is smaller, lighter, and features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. The Black Edition offers a number of ultra-high-resolution capture modes and high frame rates for standard HD resolutions; burst speeds for still photos has been greatly improved.
The Bad
GoPro’s control scheme has a longer learning curve than the simpler slide-n-go setup of the Contour cameras. Only 15fps on 4K video renders this selling point mostly moot for action videography.
The Bottom Line
The GoPro Hero3 Silver and White editions are strong contenders in the sports camera market, but the faster, more powerful Black Edition is head and shoulders the best sports camera on the market today.
Lighter, smaller, sharper
The GoPro Hero3 is 25 percent lighter than the previous-generation Hero 2’s camera. It’s also 30 percent smaller. However, all of that reduction manifests in reduced thickness with a new depth of only 20mm. The height and width (42mm by 60mm) are unchanged to maintain compatibility with GoPro’s line of BacPac add-on modules and rear doors for the clear plastic shell.
On the front panel, you’ll find the new f/2.8, six-element aspherical lens that is supposed to offer twice the image sharpness and reduce the amount of barrel distortion at the extremes of its 170-degree field of view. However, the characteristic fish-eye look of the video and photos captured by the Hero3 hasn’t been totally removed, as it’s sort of a hallmark of the action-camera style, adding a bit of drama to scenery as it speeds by.
The Hero3 uses the same improved LCD of the Hero 2, with its monochromatic dot-matrix display. I found the screen to be easy enough to navigate using the GoPro’s combination mode/power button to change modes and the shutter release to make selections. However, there is a bit of a learning curve. Expect to spend a bit of time on your first outing just looping through the menus and getting used to where the options are. I also found the LCD to be a bit difficult to read in direct sunlight.

The front panel is also home to two indicator lights: one red to indicate that the Hero is recording and one blue that blinks to indicate that Wi-Fi is active. There are also smaller red indicator lights on the top, back, and bottom panels that are visible from most angles.
On the back panel, you’ll find the removable cover for the 1,050mAh lithium ion battery. Swappable batteries are a good idea if you plan on being out shooting all day. Next to the battery door, you’ll find the proprietary BacPac connection where the accessory BacPacs, such as the LCD and Battery BacPacs, connect.
On the right side of the unit (when viewed from the front), you’ll find the Wi-Fi button that activates and deactivates the wireless connectivity with the GoPro app for smartphones or the Wi-Fi remote (which is included with the Hero3 Black Edition, but not the Silver or White editions). The details of how the Wi-Fi remote works have already been detailed as part of our review of the GoPro WiFi BacPac. However, this built-in Wi-Fi functionality renders the WiFi BacPac itself obsolete for this new generation — although you’ll still need it if you have a few older Hero 2s kicking around.
On the left side, behind a removable plastic panel, you’ll find the Hero3’s greatly simplified bank of connections. There’s a Micro-HDMI output, shrunken down from the Mini-HDMI of the previous generation, and a microSD card slot, shrunken down from a full-size SD card slot for space savings. The Hero3 doesn’t come with a microSD card, but supports cards with capacities up to 64GB. Finally, there’s a Mini-USB port, which makes a return appearance, that is used for charging and syncing. However, with the aid of optional adapter cables, this Mini-USB port can also double as a 3.5 mm microphone input or an analog video output. I like to see GoPro doing more with less space here, but this connection scheme pretty much locks you into only using GoPro’s first-party adapters, which may not be too big a deal for some users.

On either side of the Hero3, you’ll find a small pinhole microphone for audio recording alongside your video. GoPro claims that its wind reduction algorithms have been improved for this generation. Like the previous generation, the camera comes with a swappable Skeleton back panel for its clear plastic case that can be used to further improve audio quality at speeds below 100 mph at the expense of waterproofing.
Rough and tumble shell
The Hero3’s clear plastic shell is as much a part of the GoPro system as the camera itself and has received an update as well to match the smaller Hero3 chassis. Now thinner than before, the Hero3’s shell also offers three waterproof buttons that pass your inputs through to the power/mode select button, the shutter release, and the new Wi-Fi button.
The back panel is still removable to allow replacement, for example, with the aforementioned Skeleton door or deeper doors that accommodate the BacPac add-ons. The door also features a new two-stage lock that that requires a tab to be pushed to the side before the locking mechanism can be lifted and rotated out of place. This adds a bit of extra security, keeping the camera sealed in its case, but I never really had any issues with the old, single-stage lock, so this new, sometimes incredibly difficult-to-open lock seems a bit unnecessary. Users who often submerge their GoPro cameras might not think so.
Finally, the Hero3’s new shell features a new, flat lens that is supposed to work better with the new lens’ reduced distortion and offer better underwater image quality.
Like every generation of Hero shell before it, the Hero3’s clear shell is completely user-serviceable with the ability to replace any component from the lens to the door to the body itself independently. It also retains compatibility with GoPro’s entire catalog of mounting options.
Improved video processor
Next, we come to the improved image processor: the component of the Hero3 that most differentiates the Black, White, and Silver editions.
The Black Edition has the newest, fastest processor of the bunch, packing twice the pixel-crunching horsepower of the Hero 2 that we loved so much. In addition to delivering video that is claimed to be twice as sharp as the Hero 2’s with improved low-light performance, the Black Edition is able to capture 1080p full-HD video at up to 60fps, 960p Tall HD video (4:3 aspect ratio) at up to 100fps, 720p HD at up to 120fps, and WVGA 480p video at up to 240fps, making it good for slow-motion video.
Users wanting to capture more pixels also have the option of capturing video at 1440p (4:3 aspect ratio) at up to 48fps, 4K Cinema at 12fps, or 2.7K Cinema at up to 30fps. These ultra high resolutions are too pixel dense to be displayed on anything but the most cutting-edge monitors and the 15fps cap of 4K Cinema almost renders it useless for anything but slow, panning establishing shots, but I can see the 2.7K and 1440p resolutions being useful for users who want to have some extra pixels for image stabilization or cropping software to work with.
The Black Edition can also capture still photos at up to 12MP (with 7MP and 5MP modes available) in four different modes: single-shot, time-lapse, burst, and continuous. Time-lapse intervals can be set increments ranging from every half-second to a shot every 60 seconds. Burst modes range from 3fps for one second to 30fps for a 3-second burst, snapping off 90 shots with one button press. The Black Edition also has the unique ability to simultaneously capture still photos while it’s recording video with intervals ranging from every 5 to 60 seconds.
The Hero3 Silver Edition uses essentially the same processor as the Hero 2’s, so it lacks the Protune mode and its 4K, 2.7K, and 1440p video resolutions. Additionally, its 1080p video caps at 30fps, 960p at 48fps, 720p at 60fps, and WVGA at 120fps. Still photos max out at 11MP with a maximum burst rate of 10fps over 2 seconds. The Silver Edition also lacks the ability to simultaneously capture photos while recording video.
Finally, the White Edition uses an even lower-capped processor. It’s HD video caps out at 30fps for 1080p and 960p and 60fps for 720p and WVGA. Still photos are captured at only 5MP with a maximum burst of 3fps over a single second.
Video samples: Black Edition
Note: Be sure to play back the sample in full-screen and in YouTube’s HD mode to view the full-resolution video.
In sum
The $399.99 flagship GoPro Hero3 Black Edition goes head-to-head and toe-to-toe with the top of line Contour+2, which retails for the same price. Both cameras offer great HD video quality and both cameras ship with waterproof, ruggedized plastic shells to protect your investment. Both feature built-in wireless connectivity with smartphone apps: GoPro uses Wi-Fi; Contour uses Bluetooth. The Contour+2 wins a round with its ability to record and embed GPS elevation and speed data into its videos and the fact that it ships with video editing software, while the GoPro offers neither. I’ve also noted on many occasions that the Contour is easier for novices to use, with its slide and record control scheme.

However, the Hero3’s smaller chassis, on-device display and controls, and superior resolutions and available frame rates make it the obvious winner in a spec battle. If you’re a semi-professional or prosumer sports camera enthusiast, taking an extra day to figure out the Hero3’s more complex control scheme is totally worth the greater amount of on-device flexibility of shooting modes.
However, at about four Benjamins, the Hero3 Black Edition may be too much camera for your average consumer who only occasionally hits the slopes or is only uploading to YouTube or Facebook. For those who don’t need 4K video or want to hold off on buying the Wi-Fi remote, the $299.99 Silver Edition and $199.99 White Edition meet the right price points, but come into competition with the newly announced ContourRoam 2.

Buying guide for best GoPro cameras
Much like Band-Aids or Kleenex, GoPro makes products so good that their brand name is synonymous with the product itself. GoPro’s portable video cameras set the standard for action cameras: they’re durable enough to withstand just about any outdoor activity, they’re easy enough for anyone to use, and they include features typically reserved for far pricier cameras.
Whether you’re looking for a straightforward video camera to capture fun selfies and memories on your next family adventure or you want to document every step of the way toward your next triathlon in 4K video, a GoPro is the perfect recording companion.
Ready to jump into the world of GoPro cameras? Here’s everything you need to know to pick the right one for yourself. And when you’re ready to buy, take a look at our top recommendations.
Even if you don’t own a 4K TV, it’s still worth it to get a GoPro that records videos in 4K. The videos will still play on a standard HDTV but will be downscaled for lower-resolution screens. And taking 4K videos now means you’ll have plenty to watch when you upgrade to a 4K set.
Top considerations when choosing a GoPro camera
All GoPro cameras take high-quality video, but each model is designed with specific use cases in mind. Before you start comparing GoPros, consider these questions about how you’ll use yours. Then, find the model that best matches your needs.
Do you need a camera that can survive multiple days away from a power outlet?
Some GoPro cameras have user-replaceable batteries, and some don’t. If you need a camera for camping or several days away from home, you’re going to want the former. If you buy a GoPro camera with a swappable battery, you can keep extras with you, so you’ll never miss filming the perfect moment.
On the other hand, if you’ll only be using your camera for an hour or two at a time, you can save money by getting a model without a user-replaceable battery.
Do you want to tag your videos and photos with GPS locations?
Plenty of outdoor adventurers love geo-tagging their content so others can see the exact locations of their footage. Having a library of geo-tagged content can be fun for tracking all of the different locations you and your GoPro camera visit, but it’s not supported by every model, so keep track of which models do (and don’t) have GPS.
Is 4K video critical to you?
Most GoPro cameras can film in 4K (3840 x 2160), but older models are limited to standard HD (1920 x 1080). Premium models can film in 4K at higher frame rates, like 60 frames per second (fps), which results in smoother, more realistic video.
We spent 15 hours researching 7 GoPro cameras before picking our top 4. We then purchased our favorite model and tested it in our lab.
GoPro camera features
Some big differences exist across the GoPro product line, including features that are worth paying extra for. Here are the GoPro camera specs and capabilities to consider keeping on your short list.
Spherical capture
GoPro is leading the charge toward consumer-created virtual reality (VR) environments, and their first VR-ready cameras make it happen with what they’ve dubbed “spherical capture.” This is pretty accurate, given the 360° field of view they record. VR is still a nascent technology, but it’s definitely the future. If you’re an early adopter, you’ll want to pick up a GoPro with spherical capture.
Multi-microphone processing
GoPro cameras are great at recording audio, and they each use multiple microphones to capture sound, giving you an accurate sonic mix of your subjects and their environments. Naturally, the more microphones you have, the better the resulting soundtrack will be. If you’re serious about audio, you’ll want to get a GoPro with multiple mics.
Live streaming
Some GoPro cameras were made for connecting on the web and even support live-streaming video so you can broadcast your adventures to all your friends. Whether you’re into video blogging your latest rock-climbing trip or just updating your followers with what you’re up to, you can do it on some GoPros.
Image stabilization
Because it’s important to capture action without blur when video recording with an action cam, most GoPro models have built-in image stabilization. First introduced with the HERO5 Black, the feature has been improved in subsequent models and is called HyperSmooth in HERO7 and newer GoPro cameras. It includes the timewarp function that produces time-lapse videos with superior image quality. The technology makes it possible to caption images in motion with vivid details.
Many GoPros accept voice commands, which is perfect in situations where your hands aren’t free. All you have to do is say one of the predetermined commands, like “GoPro, take a photo.” Familiarize yourself with the list of terms ahead of time.
How much does a GoPro camera cost?
Inexpensive
Between $200 and $300, you’ll find GoPro cameras that are perfect for most people. There are great 1080p models and some decent 4K models in this price range, and if you’re willing to look at last-generation models, you’ll find a lot to like here.
If you absolutely need bleeding-edge features like spherical capture or live streaming, you’ll need to look at more expensive models. But if you just want an action camera that can take gorgeous video and go just about anywhere, you don’t need to spend more than $300.
Expensive
Between $300 and $600, you’ll see GoPro’s most impressive hardware: cameras that can shoot 4K, 60 fps video, or spherical capture for creating virtual reality environments. If you’re itching for GoPro’s most innovative features, you’ll need to spend more.
Tips
- Look online for GoPro videos. If you’re having trouble deciding between GoPro cameras, look online for sample videos posted by current owners. GoPro owners frequently post demo videos on various video-sharing sites, giving you an opportunity to see what video quality is like under real-world conditions. Watch as many sample videos as you can to get a sense of what each model is capable of.
- Sign up for a cloud-based service. All GoPro cameras are set up to transfer photo and video files to your computer or smartphone, but if you’re serious about backing up your content, consider subscribing to a cloud-based backup service. Cloud-based services, such as GoPro, safely keep copies of your media files and allow you to access them from other devices as needed, which can be a lot more convenient than carrying all of your content around with you on your phone.
- Check out GoPro accessories. GoPro offers a full line of accessories, including dual-battery chargers, tripods, lens covers, stabilizing gimbals, and hand grips. The Media Mod is available for newer GoPro models and has a built-in directional microphone and two cold-shoe mounts for pro-level video production. The company also offers multiple camera mounts that help you produce stable, jitter-free video. The official accessories work seamlessly with GoPro hardware and are available from top online retailers like Amazon.
All GoPro cameras cover the basics of action cameras: they’re portable, deliver notable low-light performance, are waterproof, and are rugged enough to tag along on any outdoor adventure. They also take high-quality video.
FAQ
Q. Can I wirelessly transfer photos from a GoPro camera while it’s underwater?
A. No. WiFi doesn’t work underwater. While all GoPro cameras are great at taking underwater shots, they’re all land-lovers at heart and need to be above water to do any wireless transferring of files.
Q. Are GoPro cameras good for deep-sea diving photography?
A. Not without some extra gear. All GoPros have a waterproof rating that’s expressed as depth. For example, most of them are rated as waterproof to 10 meters, meaning you could swim about 30 feet down with your GoPro camera and it would still work.
However, some users want to push those limits even farther, and for them, GoPro makes the “Super Suit,” a reinforced plastic housing designed to withstand water depths to 60 meters. If you’re shopping for equipment for deep-sea photography, plan on getting a Super Suit for your GoPro.
Q. How much video can I take with a GoPro camera?
A. It depends on how big of a memory card you use with your GoPro. GoPro cameras work with standard SD cards and microSD cards, which are affordable and come in various quantities. In most cases, it pays to get a memory card with plenty of storage. GoPro videos, especially those shot in 4K, can produce especially large files that eat up storage faster than you might expect. We recommend getting an SD card with at least 128GB of available storage.
