Thank you so much for taking the time to make this comparison. I think anyone who is interested in purchasing a Goluk unit will find your efforts quite useful in their buying decision, including myself since I still have a couple of weeks durring which I could return the T2 and get the T3.
I think I'm going to keep the T2. I no longer have a nagging feeling that the newer T3 camera is a leap forward. As you pointed out, I do think the T3 has been adjusted for higher contrast and more saturated color but at the expense of producing a grainy and unnatural image. I think you could probably produce a better final image from the T2 than the T3 in post processing because of the lower grain / noise in the raw video.
I didn't notice any improvement in the low light video and I didn't see anything related to the so called licesne-plate detection feature. I really didn't see anything from the image stabilization either although you appear to have a pretty smooth road/car.
I really wish they would include some very basic image control functions on these units to allow the user to tweak the raw video. They really don't appear to fully optimize these cameras to their full potential. Maybe I'm just expecting too much from these types of devices.
Again, thank you.
