Canon guys must be ever so nervous sucking on their egg noodles, $1299 for a feature packed stills/video power house that DEFINITELY has sharper video than my EOS 5DIII with WiFi and smartphone connectivity, the AF makes the EOS 650D video AF look like a clunky embarrassment. Did I say the price? $1299, how much for the 5DIII? I paid $3800 AUD and while it's a good stills cam it's not sharp in video mode and only has 50p in 720 which is way too soft, in fact the 720/50p on my GH2 is sharper than the 1080/25p on my 5DIII. I will buy the GH3 oh yes, pre order NOW Yes I now it's not full frame and I will miss that but the GH3 is so feature packed how can I ignore it

Andrew, as wonderful as all of these features sound mate, I fear it's all too good to be true and especially for the price. Based on these features the GH3 sounds like a quantum leap from the GH2. I love my GH2 and have made good money off it & would love all of these new features on the GH3, in fact Ill buy the GH3 whatever it has. But after being disappointed so many times from 'rumours' I will wait for the official Panasonic release. But please keep the rumours coming, it gives a lot of hope. I'm not the slightest bit interested in the Black Magic camera, I think it's a fad because the sensor is so small. By the end of 2012 there will be so many sexy new cameras to choose from..... AND, let's see what the Sony Full Frame video camera and the Canon EOS 1DC are like once released. My 5DIII is pretty good and is a great fill-in till the rest of the new gear gets released. Hopefully the 1DC will have 4K 25p added for us PAL users.
