Well DJI has gone and done it, they have finally created the perfect quad with everything I wanted, the only bad thing is they revealed it less than 6 months after I bought into the P3P ecosystem (case, batteries, tablet, etc). Oh and if only the P3P batteries worked in the Inspire 1.
Now that the Inspire 1 has the Zenmuse X5 its a no brainer; the P3P's camera will never come close to what the X5 can do. I don't believe in buying the latest thing just because it is the latest thing, but no more barrel distortion, better dynamic range, adjustable F stops; all in an aerial platform with a 4 mile range is every photographer's dream come true.
I have somewhat regretted my P3P purchase since the day I first compared its post processed footage with the GP4's raw footage but I dealt with it because the other features were light years ahead of the FPV and camera controls of the P2 with GP4. I know this debate has been going on forever but the reality is, the GP4 with a custom rectilinear lens blows away the P3P's camera. Now, I no longer need to compromise.
The only thing I do have concerns about is how long the Inspire 1's battery lasts with the heavier camera onboard. Since the I1 is faster than the P3 I don't think that will be a problem.
Is anyone else making the switch?
