This looks like the same sensor as used in the new sony HDR as200v action cam, specs here..

If this is correct this will be pretty awesome because the 1080p coming out that camera looks better than go pro's 4k, comparison here...

p3 advanced 1080p at 60mbps, what do you think.

Yep, it's the same camera as on the Inspire, and there were many folks making GoPro 4 comparisons. Seems to be some minor differences where one camera will be arguable 'better' than the other based on framing and subject matter.

If it's the same one, what did they do to get rid of the distortion or fisheye?

Same sensor but different lens?

The camera sensor is one thing, the optics you put in front is a completely different thing. In other words, they have changed the lens to a 94 degree FOV in the P3, and gotten rid of distortion that way.

Okay. Thanks for explaining that! GoPro's are 170 degrees, right? So that's a huge difference. Seems like your flying will need to be more precise if following action up close.

Is this the sensor?

Just look at the inspire 1 video, is that hard? It's the same camera... Omg

Also note that there are many 1/2.3" EXMOR sensors - unless exact model number is called out in specs for the GoPro, Phantom, and Inspire - the sensors may be different. However, newer is usually better.
