So the FAQ states the two differences between the P3P and P3A is the camera and the charger.
So the price difference is $260 ($1259 - $999), and yet the price difference between those two parts is only $151 in the store (4K - $539 : HD - $409 ; 100W - $60 : 57W - $39).

So what else did I get for the $109 on the P3P?

gold stickers?

faster charging.....

The controller is different - 1 aerial for a start... as I see on photos of it....

another question, but if the two phantom are currently identical (less the camera software) is not possible load the p3p FW on the P3a so unlock the 4K recording?

I wouldn't think so since it's a different camera .

The camera is the same but the processor is not

There must be some difference to the camera since the Pro model has a fan mounted on top but the Advanced doesn't.

4K Camera vs HD Camera:

Phantom 3 Professional
UHD: 4096x2160p 24/25, 3840x2160p 24/25/30
FHD: 1920x1080p 24/25/30/48/50/60
HD: 1280x720p 24/25/30/48/50/60

Phantom 3 Advanced
FHD: 1920x1080p 24/25/30/48/50/60
HD: 1280x720p 24/25/30/48/50/60


100W Pro vs 57W  Adv. Charger (A big plus here as the 100w charger will bring just about a dead battery to full in just about 35 minutes, awesome for field charging times)

10Mbps Pro vs 2Mbps Adv. Max. Video Bitrate

and a few hundred bucks.
