Thank you for the support, guys! I think that some feature update firmware is possible - just take a look on Go Pro 2 which received Protune mode (I think big feature) almost at the end its production. They could wait on GP3 with that. GP3B is great camera and I would like to use it also on wide angle landscapes shots (it has way better resolution than my 5DmkII on wide angles). But the exposure flickering is not really what I would like to see ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFMCWAqY_Io ). I have sent email to GoPro and asked them if there is any chance that they will add exposure lock feature in the future. I am still waiting for the answer... Anyway I do not think that this petition will have more than 50 signs (most of them are seems to be fake now), but I can say that I have tried something.

OK, there is no need to be so offensive. I just think that if you can have manual control in video mode in Nikon P300 (which is quite cheap compact camera) you can have (even more) simplier feature in GoPro. GoPro is used in lot of professional production and I think that is the reason why GoPro has added features like protune and high bitrate - but it seems they forgot on this very important feature. I agree that the GoPro may add this in near future even without this funny petition - but please realize that lot of users of first and second generation wanted this function too - but without success. I also think that issues you have mentioned can be caused by hardware of earlier batch of GoPro's 3B. If they would be software issues - they should occure in all GoPro's (?). Just FYI - I have spent about 15 minutes on estabilishing this petiton.

I do not have any of issues you have mentioned - it is mostly related to first series of GoPro 3 Black. And it is funny that you want better battery life if you record 2,7K in 45Mbit/s with camera size of pack of gum (I will buy 2 Wasabi bateries with charger for 25 bucks instead). ... And lack of exposure lock is not an issue - it is lack of functionality - same as 5DmkII had after it was released without manual exposure/aperture control. Lag of 5 second is partly caused by the smartphone/table itself. Android devices has shorter lag (about 2 second) than IPhones/iPads.

Hi all, please join us to improve GoPro 3 with our GoPro 3 exposure lock petition. Thank you. Text of the petition: We, the GoPro3 users, would like to ask you if you could enhance the GoPro camera with exposure lock functionality. GoPro is a wonderful camera, however, inability to lock exposure can cause side effects that can be noticed in the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFMCWAqY_Io. We would also appreciate full manual control over ISO and exposure, but we all hope that you could add at least the exposure lock function. Thank you very much. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/gopro-3-exposure-lock/

:-) yes, but it is not comparable - F0.95 lens on GH2 is not 15mm fishey on GoPro. I think that similar lens on GH2 would have F2.8 or F4 - so I would compare similar lenses. Plus you have tuns of depth of field on GoPro so GH2 should be also stopped litle bit down for silimar results. I am keen to compare GoPro3 with my 5DmkII which also has quite ugly noise and mackroblocking in dimm light.

According first video - it seems to me that GoPro has higher (or same) DR than 5DmkIII (if you look on the skies for highlights / cliff on the right side for shadows). Maybe it is just because of changed light.conditions. Anyway - very impressive for GoPro. And I think it is not fair to compare noise in 48 fps and higher framerates in lowlight - you cannot expect that such a small camera will be able to handle 1/48s and shorter times in dimm light. 2.7K in 24/30 fps should be better.

According these two videos - it seems that GH2 is more noisy in dark areas + GoPro has much better resolution than 5DmkIII and slightly better than GH2 (necessary to download original file). And it seems that 4K has lower dynamic range than 2,7K. https://vimeo.com/53872859 https://vimeo.com/53767865

Thank you very much. It would be intresting to see also Go Pro 3 Black in this comparsion (https://vimeo.com/53872859).
