OK, I think we have enough.

I'll try to copy all that seems real and make a list and pass it further to make Japanese version.

@P4INKiller

I specially asked for realistic software changes :-)
ML HDR is useless thing, btw

It wouldn't be realistic for panasonic to improve their colors and fix certain issues?

It is really very low level thing, and more hardware and low level processing related.

While I agree that ML HDR is useless in lower framerates (for certain shots), with 120fps it would be very useful. I'm already able to get a good image without any ghosting.

I doubt it, it is just wrong approach.

Don't know how it would work but maybe a color profile that allowed highlights/shadows/mids control? I mean +/- gain for h-s-m. that would allow for the flattest image possible.

Focus bracketing might be a feature, had it in the Canon G range in the past.

From more to less crazy and hence from less to more required:

-Make your propietary stuff hardcoded/opaque, and make the rest of the camera OS/firmware OPEN SOURCE. Acknowledge half of the GH2's success comes from the hackers and capitalize on this.

-Following on the previous "automatic grey card use" idea... AUTO ASSISTANT EDITOR: If you're implementing some kind of AR tracker/detector (which is actually not that different from a face detector for autofocus), you can also detect some kind of marker that is easy to place on the clapperboard's corners and look for it at the beginning and end of a recording. Perform OCR on a sharp frame. Autofill the metadata screen. Rename the clip after record. Write an XML or XMP with metadata. Mark the clap frame via audio detection. These things are doable on a camera with a processor powerful enough to detect faces, something which left the scifi realm around 2007. OCR leaves open the use of classic slates, or maybe the ones with velcro numbers that don't depend on the user's handwriting. Alternatively you can use an ipad or cheap android tablet and show a qr code slate like this app http://www.qrslate.com/ Talk to the NLE makers about this. Adobe shows much interest in this by releasing Prelude.

-On the android/ios app I'd like at least a metadata tab, a color profile tab, a playback control tab, and an control/automation tab that could be expanded upon somehow. Much better: if you're programming wifi interoperability with smartphone apps, make it with an OPEN PROTOCOL. OSC could be a great protocol to replace LANC.

-Yes, add more colorspace control. Log, pseudo-log, cinestyle, clipping rolloff control, a custom raw conversion tool that can export color profiles for in-camera jpeg's and video... whatever you choose, having to choose between Nostalgic and Smooth doesn't cut it anymore.

-DO NOT CASTRATE THE HDMI OUTPUT. At least not for those frame sizes and rates it supports. No out-of-standard fields an cadences, please. 4:2:2 clean color output. Some kind of secure connection solution.

-DO NOT SPAN CLIPS. Use a modern filesystem that doesn't limit file size to a few gigabytes.

"This also will never happen." Well, given the chance, we should never stop asking for it. ;-]

there is definitely a lot more recoverable information, just have a look other cameras that do have fully customisable picture profiles.

@AKED

As I remember G5 has it already.

I hope they do. I already saved my money for the GH3, looking forward to it.

Oh I forgot one to request that I think is software...

Special outboard capture mode - selectable with a software switch:

Clean HDMI 4:2:2 true 23.98p for outboard recording to a Ninja/Pix240/whatever. Doesn't need to be able to record to sd card simultaneously (but it would be cool if it could as a backup). On screen control parameters could be viewed from the wifi Android/ios feed.

oh, and programmable false color (set your high medium and low threshold for ire values)

I am hoping for the best ...but to be honest.. when I remember how much time it toke panasonic to release the gh2´s firmware with relatively small upgrades I´m not seeing these gh3 dreams coming true.. beware of the competition panasonic.. m4/3 format has it´s own potencial but it must be well utilized, not crippled

got it, I know they listen .. hope it won ´t be too much for them.. btw ..let us know if they send you any answer :)
