Good, at last. I've been meaning to buy a second G2 receiver (as I have two G2 transmitting devices, the lav one and the SKP500 "Butt Plug" one) and was holding off until this...since we got an (accidental!) teaser that it was coming via a brief showing of it on their website in December 08.
Suppliers will start to sell the G2 series at a good discount now - I hope.

Nice find! The ability to charge the accupacks in the case is a nice plus.

Interesting. What do they mean by "adaptive diversity"?

The camera-mount receiver is too small to be "true" diversity as that needs a second receiver inside (true diversity is two complete receivers feeding a single output stage). The G3 camera-mount receiver is the same size as the G2 - the second antenna is the output cable. It has a single RF section and a special circuit that monitors the two antennas and uses the one with the strongest signal. So it's a diversity receiver, but with the two antennas being switched between a single RF stage, rather than two antennas and two RF stages being switched at the output of the RF stage. It was deemed to be better this way for on-camera use, as it keeps the size of the receiver down.

So will this mean better range and/or less interference/drop outs etc. for G3's over G2's?

Dang, this is looking sweet. I need to add more wireless to my kit, and these are looking pretty hard to resist.
