I'm glad your so confident in my future earnings. Things have slowed down for me recently and I may have to take on outside work just to pay the rent, never mind inventing $1300 in new equipment.
GH3 What do you want to see in a GH3/GH2 comparison?

I'm also back and forth on buying one. I'm guilty of getting caught up in the new gear game frequently.
To me it just looked out of focus.

That test did nothing.
Lol, goodbye.... Any and every camera can exhibit moire. Red, Alexa, BMCC, etc. Any and everyone that has used a GH3 is stating it is a better camera in and out, 1 test that means nothing and you draw this conclusion, ok....
Did nothing to? Big difference if you ask me... Doesn't mean the GH2 is a better camera now...
But being able to take wide shots of buildings is a must for me and this doesnt look good for the camera...
GH3 appears to have more detail in shadows I would say about 1/2 - 1 stop as well. But I know that the 12mm by SLR Magic is not really a lens to be testing for this. Would like to see these tests on the Olympus 12mm that is by far a sharper/cleaner lens.

Then watch this one and look at the 400% shots. Gh3 looks sharper and less aliased to me.
Nothing wrong with the SLR 12, it's a pretty fantastic lens in fact, and by 2.8 it's on par with the Olympus, with better distortion control and more filmmaking friendly mechanics.
GH2 does look better in regards to Moire, it aliases the same but the moire isn't there.
You can't really do much about aliasing these days without spending major money or going with something softer/muddy, smaller sensor, etc.
=T Can't have everything for nothing.
I agree with you, though. The moire is not pleasant and it DOES seem like a step back to me. Yet what can you do? There are improvements in other areas, I guess you have to pick and choose. I'm gonna stick with the GH2 for now and Blackmagic, in the case of the latter yeah there's moire but it's a small consequence Im willing to deal with for the huge gain in overall image quality.

I just think the tests we've seen here are very inconclusive. If that aliasing we see on the couch are definite, then take a look at this video. All sorts of patterns in there that resemble that couch
Canon dslr don't even shoot high definition...... Also if you want to compare aliasing and moire you can't , those Canons are horrible. GH3 has many many new functions that are king, do your research.

I honestly don't think the image is going to be THAT different between the 2 models despite the hyperbole being the fun way to go for a lot of reviewers. I remember the "GH2 KILLED the GH1 in low light", and now this one "KILLS the GH2"...hell, according to those statements: by now the GH3 should be able to see in complete darkness. The GH3 will be better iq wise...but the other things are probably more important for those looking to upgrade. The new codecs, the HDMI...usability, etc. Just my take.
Oh nah I wasn't responding to you. It was at the people who responded to my initial post. I didn't really need the camera and I have been waiting on a side by side test to see if I can't keep the money in the bank. With already having a GH2 and a MIII I personally don't see a point in taking such a huge hit in moire if I don't have to. The GH2 still works just as well.
OK I get that but I also have a GH2 which does almost the exact same thing as the GH3 with less moire so what am I really missing out on?
