If you trawl through the latest YT H videos they do look consistantly good.
Yep definitely agree here.... Price is important but not at the expense of quality and features.
Cheers
Saw an add yesterday, it shows a separate bird, controller and camera for the IR system. You cannot simply change the camera. You will have to buy a completely new system. Fly one bird for normal video, and a different bird (and controller) for the IR. The cost is not as much as the Flir camera, but with the additional cost you will also have a complete system for the Flir operation, not just another different camera.

There are a few issues with TIFF instead of RAW, that I can think of. A RAW file usually gives you more color space, especially when it is 12 or 14 bit depth... which we dont know. RAW is also non destructive when implemented correctly, meaning no matter what you do to the file, the original data should remain in tact. When implemented correctly RAW is also a non destructive format, meaning you wont get jpeg like artifacts when increasing or reducing the size of the image. I could live with TIFF if it were 16 bit.
But the bigger concern is megapixels. 12 mp is just not high enough rez for most of my clients. Along with that is the issue of a corrected lens or one with a narrower field of view. With the CGO3 camera, it is very difficult to splice images together because of its barrel distortion. Presumably a lens with a narrower FOV would eliminate most of the distortion, making it easier to splice images into a larger image.

A bit off subject, but has anyone tried the cgo3+ camera lens mod from Carolina Dronz? Much higher resolution, I'm not a camera expert but I guess it's supposed to be 16 megapixels from what I understand. Here is a shot after the camera mod for one of my clients (yes, Photoshopped for color but the resolution is awesome)

I bought the Peau 3.97 mm lens that Carolina Dronz is installing on the H. My camera was in route to Yuneec for exchange for a different issue when the lens arrived. I installed it on my GoPro 3+ black. It was sharp, and had low distortion, but seemed a bit flat in contrast. The original GoPro lens was better in that regard. The longer focal length meant narrower field of view.
When my replacement camera came back from CS, I found that it was a bit out of focus. Rather than return it, I refocused it myself. To me, it seems at least as good as the Peau lens.
I am somewhat bothered by the manufacturers giving lenses a megapixel number. Lenses don't have pixels. Adding a "16 Mp" lens to a 12 Mp camera won't increase the resolution of the sensor.
Funnily enough, I was looking at the TIFF definition the other day. Here's the Wikipedia article: TIFF - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TIFF supports full uncompressed images (ie. raw, out of the camera data) with arbitrary bit depth (http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tiff/TIFF6.pdf). How different editors handle it depends very much on the editor - but this idea of 'indestructable' formats is just a convention for the editor, NOT the file format that they read. The one exception is JPEG, as edits to a lossy compressed format can cumulatively damage the image quality. Even those edits can be handled in a 'non-destructive' way, but for most editors the assumption is that if you're editing JPEGs, you're a consumer that doesn't know or care about such things.
I think I will try that on my other H and compare the two. I would have to agree that if the lenses are out of focus from the factory, and you buy another lens and focus it perfectly, of course the new lens will look better.
FYI... of course the CgoET will be available on the H. The profile is already on your ST16...

Who knows about the real launch date and do you know who is the OEM manufactor, for shure it isn't Ynecc.Any info appreciated.
