As someone who bought the P2V+ last month on special offer, I was keeping an eye on yesterday's announcement with some interest.
Due to the low price of the P3, if I were to buy one now, I'd get a P3 rather than a P2, but I don't think I'm missing out on much:
* Better GPS / hovering accuracy / indoor flight.
Haven't had any issues with GPS accuracy and indoor flight isn't something I have any need for
* Improved camera
I'm perhaps in the minority that thinks the P2V+ camera is pretty good. If I were a professional do doubt I'd expect more, but again, it's not a problem for me.
* Better FPV
The biggest problem I have with FPV isn't the resolution, it's seeing the screen outdoors!
* Improved range
I can't really see the drone much beyond 500m, so I'd be nervous flying 2000m away (and it would technically be illegal here in the UK).
* The App
Now, for me this is potentially the issue. Third party developers have access to the DJI SDK to add features such as 'follow me' on both the P2 and P3. However, will they now abandon the P2 in favour of the P3? Is it difficult to make an app that works on both?
What are everyone's thoughts?
