Requests to Panasonic for the new Panasonic GH3

Dear Panasonic,

I like very much the Panasonic GH2; for the upcoming GH3, please include this features:

1) Much better low-light performance, even at the expense of resolution; low light performance of the GH2 is inadequate. Please have a look at Dxomark sensor ratings.

2) I better repeat this one: improve low-light performance, even at the expense of resolution; low light performance of the GH2 is inadequate.

3) 25p video; Europe uses PAL, not NTSC. 4) Headphone jack; not the super-mini jack used for the microphone (2.5 mm), but at least a mini-jack (3.5). XLR connectors would be ideal, but a 2.5 jack is useless. Just try to find a cable that ends with a 2.5 jack.

4) High-bitrate video modes like those developed by Vitaly Kiselev. Just write a disclaimer, you need a fast SD card for these bitrates.

5) Slightly bigger LCD for focusing by hand.

6) Zebra stripes.

7) Move the battery compartment to the side, to allow changing battery when the camera is on a tripod.

Thanks

Paolo
