I have been using the syma x5sc for a few weeks now and love the quadcopter but I want to step up to a new one. I was thinking about the phantom 3 standard or a solo, which would you spend your money on. iam siding towards the phantom 3 standard. but the solo looks good as well.iam liking the phantom better because it comes with a good camera. if I got the solo io would need to buy a gopro as well. thanks for reading.

I have the P3 Professional - my interest lays with the photography aspect and the Pro is built to cope.
Check the specs carefully, the Standard - from what I hear - does not have the Return Home button on the TX and will not handle a lot of the fancy stuff in the advanced and pro.
The advanced seems the best option if photography is not for professional use... although I reckon in post production it could be, - that's about the only difference between it and the Pro version
All I can say is its a fantastic machine and the firmware and app was updated in the last couple of days and has new features and flying modes.
It is a flying camera and not really suited to wizzing around "fun flying".
That said - there are competitors with some top class quads on offer - the new Cheerson CX-22 ( I may have that wrong! but its an upgrade of the CX-20) looks really good and has a lot of the features in a Phantom.
There are others on the market.. so its difficult to advise - if cost is catered for I would say go for the Advance and you will not regret it.
