How about a couple of really simple things like:

A registration pin receptacle on the mounting screw.

USB mode for tethered stills shooting and processing.

+2 on focus peaking

• better menu design
• afs is afs. afc is afc. duh

@DouglasHorn "How about a couple of really simple things like: A registration pin receptacle on the mounting screw."

Yeah no doubt I think that was my first WTF? moment.

+1 for built-in timelapse capabilities with electronic shutter. 50/60p would be also nice, and I think we are likely to see that. I'd like to see ND filters, too, but I doubt it's gonna happen.

As for RAW, 444, AVC intra etc, come on guys, that's all just a mere percent in perceived image quality. Don't be fooled with figures. If that comes - which I doubt - with the SAME sensor that'd be an illusion of progress. Real headway means PHYSICAL improvements first and foremost. Better sensitivity, lower noise, more dynamic range. Less rolling shutter would be highly appreciated, too. But since that's a wishful thinking topic...

Holy Global Shutter! I summon thee, descend on us in thy glory!

@douglashorn

I don't have weather proof lenses. And the weather proof feature will raise the body price.

Nice wishlists. This is what I think we'll likely see:

• Headphone jack
• 1080/60P

Bit more unlikely, but still possible:

• Usable LCD (Higher resolution and/or focus peaking)

I love the gh2 but after playing with a Nex 5n I see some things that need to be added, like focus peaking, better low light and 60p (60p is the sole reason I got a Nex 5n for slow motion stuff).. The 5n lacks in areas also like no mic input, and the screen only goes up or down.. no flip out. 422 would be awesome, I'd upgrade in a heart beat if the gh3 added 422, focus peaking, 60p and better low light.

As for the camera body, its about as small as I'd like to see it get, I'd actually like it a bit larger for grip ability.. but the trend seems to be making the camera body basically a lens caps now.

I also want an option for a user to choose between fast yet noisy and silent but slow autofocus. For instance, 20mm panacake is quite fast but very noisy in live-view mode. But when I actually push record button it is now optimized for silent performance at a cost of becoming sssslllloooow. There are plenty of shooting situations (a concert for example where I get my audio from mixing console) where I don't care about focusing noise but need the fastest performance instead.

Also there is a time lag between when I tap the touchscreen and when the camera starts to refocus whereas half-pressing shutter button refocuses instantly. I need one-tap - immediate refocus mode. Shutter button is kinky as accidentally pressing it too hard stops recording and for reportage genres one-tap fast and immediate refocus is a must.

The news are unfortunatly not runing so high

Do not worry. Global shutter in GH2, and later GH3 was just favourite idea of Andrea (43rumors author).
He likes it :-) So, "global shutter definitely will be in GHx" and "glabal shutter unfortunately won't be present in GHx" will be constant quests on 43rumors in the years to come :-)

I think we will see it for around $1500 and the only important new features will be 60fps, weather sealed and better image processing.

Interestingly, Focus Peaking, and a log like profile, would cost nothing implement. without 1080/60p I don't imagine many people upgrading from GH-2? 720p/120 would be cool. DR is nice, but I wish someone would copy Alexa in the highlight roll-off. I'm not as concerned with shadow DR, since most likely you will crush the blacks any way. But to my eye, the highlight roll off with yellowish fringe to white, is the tell tale of a video camera. What gives a film look is the subdued highlight. TV manufacturers, like to pump the contrast and saturation up to prove to the masses they have high quality. Like have a huge 12" base speaker in your trunk. It's loud but is it quality sound?
