Nice, i was looking for a camera like gopro in size and weight for my DJI PHANTOM, the Panasonic can be useful in case of lens stabilizer and zoom, gopro is very powerful camera, but in some situation i need a zoom and stabilizer camera that can be flight with the phantom.

I think they are trying (and have succeeded) in making a legit product for real films. Because no other camera can do what the GoPro does as well as it does. If you need a tiny fisheye camera to stick in somewhere, that’s it. Whereas the Panasonic might be a better tourist/travel camera for the general public going snorkeling or skiing, because of it’s more versatile set-up in terms of zoom/screen, it definitely not the BEST at anythign in a Hollywood sense. It’s a handy little rugged camera that would be fun to have in your pocket.

the GoPro still suffers from vignetting. I thought they were going to fix that in ver 3.

Yes. Can the Panasonic do this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMScedWNUDM

[...] One could say that last year marked the occasion when GoPro really 'went pro.' How 'pro' does GoPro go? Well, 2.7K imagery (and even up to 4K in sub-FMV frame [...]

The Panny is, frankly, a piece of junk compared to the GoPro.

I meant “photo camera” (stupid auto correction…)

The GoPro looks way better. The Lumix looks like what you’d expect from a little goto camera. The highlights blow out in a very ugly manner and the colors don’t look realistic.
This is what the GoPro Hero 1 looked like, and the GPH 3 is far from it!

cool. There is even a Black version of Philip Bloom in the cast.

What’s the GoPro corporate attitude towards its products role in Film? Are they trying to create a product with legit application to formal production? Or is this just the rig to have when you’re ready to jump onto that trampoline from the roof of your garage ?

Battery life on both SUCKED. I just didn’t mention it because it would’ve been too time consuming to test it even remotely scientifically (run the battery down a few times using the cameras in different ways?). But we actually had to push shooting onto a second day because at one point (very early on) both cameras were dead and we had to sit around watching them charge. No bueno. Non-scientifically I think the GoPro without Wifi on has much better life. The screen on the Panasonic really runs it down.

I wished they would have compared battery life. This by far is my biggest problem with my gopro hero 3 black. If it didn’t have such sucky battery life this would be my B camera on the road. This is an area where I’m guessing the panasonic would be superior. Otherwise GP3 is awesome.
