It looks like the Phantom 3's have a few different camera options.

I have the Phantom 3 Standard, which is their entry-level model. It comes with absolutely everything you need (camera with 2K video, etc), and they just dropped the price from $799 to $699.
The Phantom 3 Advanced sells from $999, has a better remote control and about double the range (1.5 miles or so instead of 0.75 miles or so). The remote control also has some nicer features on it.
It's a tough call. I paid $800 for the standard, but if I had to do it again, I would have gotten the advanced for the extra $200. But now the Standard is only $700 so.... I would get the Standard for $700. If you love it and want to step up - you can always sell it and upgrade.
The nice thing is they both have all the same features and same video/photo resolution for the most part. The biggest difference is the range/distance - and some bells and whistles on the remote. Hope this helps. DJI's website has some great videos and descriptions of the differences.
