Do the new cameras have the software update?

I don't know if I received a new camera or an old but I had to upgrade it my self although it was easy

Apparently yes. They told me that it is the same as the firmware fix that they came out with in July(?). That DID NOT fix the battery warning light problem. I don't believe that they are planning to do anything more. (They'll fix it in the next incarnation of this camera [sx290?]) If you don't use video, then no problem. Otherwise, video invokes the problem.

Yes they do. You can set the cameras to take a pic or run video for a few seconds when motion is detected. They are dormant until motion is detected.

I was going to buy this camera mainly because of GPS feature. Any update on GPS signal?

I haven't tried the camera yet. I plan on trying it this weekend. It is getting easier to use the other features._

No this is not the latest model. v3.0... The newest model has rechargeable batteries in remote, thumb knob to control the camera on the remote, upgraded motors on copter, training port on the remote, and some other stuff that Im forgetting... BUT it also costs about $140 more. And the newest one is the one I got, but I got it directly from DJI.com. The one I bought off amazon is NOT the newest one...

I recently purchased this camera. I fully agree with the success of the firmware updates. I tried a P7000 from a local retailer when it was first introduced but returned it. I can attest to the improvements being REAL and VERY EFFECTIVE. I would like to add I recently shot some comparison photos with my P7000 and my D300 with the 18-200 VR Nikkor zoom. I haven't downloaded to my computer at this point but the on camera screen appearance of the photos on the backs of each camera gives the edge to the P7000!!! If you find that hard to believe...so do I. I'll do more shots, download to my computer and report the results. I recently purchased this camera.

In my opinion it is not significant of an upgrade to change. The only real differences are an increase of 5 megapixels and an slightly increased shot rate. Not enough to ditch the older model. Neal

Any update 8 months later on software updates for >1 flash, other camera apps, continuous lighting, etc.?

Hello there... not sure if someone has already answered your question, but here it goes... can't really tell you much about this unit's writing methods (just bought it for playback), but yes, it does come with software that checks for firmware updates on a regular basis.

I have never looked into that. I imagine that if there are firmware updates you could find them on Panasonics website. Probably best to have the camera registered first.

Probably on the Olympus website. I have updated firmware from there before, by downloading the updater software.

No, as a matter of fact there was sufficient internal memory to update the extra features. If you needed several other languages for some reason, you might need the micro SD card, but so far there has been plenty of memory for all updates, including extra features!

no software. firmware built in. you can have it email when motion is detected. motion detection not foolproof. if I were to buy another camera I would probably not buy foscam

Yes. You will need to update the software but I do not notice a performance or functionality difference. It works very well.

Yes they do but I believe a newer model came out with a much needed flash this is a great camera no regrets but would love a flash
