Amateur here in USA, so a different perspective from most of you. I've had my GH2 for a year. My other DSLR is a Nikon D90. I want to be able to replace the D90 with the GH3. I shoot stills and vid about equally. Stills IQ definitely needs improvement, as does the JPEG rendering engine. I only shoot RAW for special occasions. Of course, really satisfied with video both normal and hacked. Looking forward to 1080 60P. Ergonomically, maybe just a smidge larger. When I'm using the EVF, instead of pressing the Fn2 button I constantly hit the edge of the LCD. I've even practiced trying to get it right to no avail. If those keys could only be moved slightly more to the right. Must keep the fully articulating LCD. Better capacity battery preferred rather than an additional grip. I use the grid a LOT, because it really helps me concentrate on composition. It needs to be more pronounced, as it's difficult to view in bright light. Also, a grid to help me compose for 2:35 when I want to crop to 1920x810. I'll never be able to afford anamorphic stuff. More color/gamma profiles with more adjustment latitude. I'm not a megapixel whore, so  the multi-aspect with ETC at 18mp is great. A new sensor only needs to improve on that. Built-in USEFUL intervalometer and HDR modes. I would use these a lot, and neither would preclude me from using my hardware intervalometer or bracketing shots for HDR if I want to do further post processing. 3.5mm jack, and agree with Andrew on MP4 instead of MJPEG. Last, I don't get the hate for AVCHD. The directory structure isn't rocket science, and you can get to your files in just a few clicks. And yes, I copy the PRIVATE folder to optical disc as my 2nd backup. Pop it in my PS3 blu-ray player, and can view the files on my HDTV and use a remote control to navigate. I can also plug the SDHC card into the PS3 and do the same thing. Seems to me, rather than bitching about a format that is now around 4 years old, you should complain to the maker of your NLE for support. I'm on the PC side and can directly import the files without having to create any sort of intermediary file.
