I didn't write I disagree with all of your convictons : ) One of my disagreements is exactly on such patronize tone about B&W perspective. If you don't buy one of my fav quotes to date and endlessly (The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth. ~ Niels Bohr) it is up to you : ) I just think it's not fair to dictate they're not useful to those rookies you mentioned. Even because you're telling this to someone with lecturing experience at the University and Polytechnic level which professional career began more than two decades ago. And, worse than a wider POV you identify as "dramatic contradictions" is the denial frequently based in misconception when not prejudice or our own beliefs. It happens to be a "messenger" when for the same line of reasoning you bring up, people like you produce bold statements inducing people to infer all BM cameras are less user-friendly cameras than those you love, have or know. (And as you can check I do more than you now: I didn't add italic to that verb... LOL ; ) BTW your last paragraph is even funny when it's not the first time I ask you to elaborate something and becomes useful precisely to those you direct address there, beyond your earlier assertion. So, "don't pay attention to what I'm doing, only to what I'm saying!" Hilarious :- ) Yet on cameras, it's nothing about manuals or friends to assist you : D The way people see a very competitive world outside is... well, I abstain to write it. It is the way those menus distract the operator from the main goal and his/her craft. What do they serve after all? Filmmaking or geeks? KISS concept. If this is empty philosophy, I don't know what it is then anymore :- D Peace mate, don't take it as personal because it is not : ) I do still appreciate to read you and I'm pretty sure I am one of your best readers, I am just not intending to show off anything other than the points I see with merit. Great we can't think everyone for the same head, isn't it? ;- )

Of course, but you expressly wrote "user-friendly" which is impossible to detach from their interface advantage (to couple much more not to fit here now) so my experience tells me exactly the opposite. On the leftover, you mean the impression you have on my disagreement about convictions of your own or part of them? How come to miss the point when the OP is precisely asking to compare the Pocket series with just another Japanese camera with those fancy but countless-and-useless (a good part of them!) menu options?! I'll tell you very straighforward what I see, reading part of a few stuff over these or other boards for a few years today: Before anything else, filmmaking is not geeking: two completely separate human areas of interest -- I fill the cup for both, so I guess I can have something to say either way ; ) And I see much more fanboyism focused on this or that brand rather than actual facts : ) Unfairly misleading at times, for the first of the two. Reason why you read what you read from me. Don't shoot the messenger! LOL ;- )

LOL The tester says it works! : D Some other craziness of nowadays is the FPV mania despite the 4K 120 fps pandora box... As possible to check, not useless AT ALL :- )

This is a myth : ) No other user interface is more user-friendly than my Pocket series. TBH those Japanese camera menus are a piece of crap to those who love photography and make a living from moving pictures :- ) Old school still rules. - EAG

Great post! : ) You have EYES... And know what you're doing ;- ) - EAG

I wonder how we can compare apples to oranges... Or as you wish a $100,000 account to a $200,000 one!?? ;- ) RAM is NEVER too much as far as handling workflow for future proof if not for anything else... and you won't be able to upgrade the thing tomorrow. Moreover, acquisition is going faster than for post-production processing/work... - EAG

Informative comparison:

Anyone here to jump on their upcoming FF offer? Hey @Tito Ferradans?

Well, let's wait and see : ) I have a DJI Mini 2, currently waiting for the Nano+... IMHO under 250 grams is where the deal is for the obvious reasons :- ) Last but not least, once found from this comparative here TBH, I am already satisfied with the Autel outcome per se (minute 1:49):

Not double IQ for sure, just your larger pocket leaving it smaller... ;- )

Agreed : ) I didn't mention sports like soccer... ; ) https://www.premierleague.com/photos But, can we consider it made for "action" too? LOL :- )

As always, not for every single one but, generally, combos do it better ;- )

Really? Go now to say that to a F1 Live Grand Prix director... ; ) https://fotografiaprofissional.org/lente-olho-de-peixe-fish-eye/ It is in Portuguese but it is funny how action seemed out of that professional purpose list ;- )

Wrong link. Fixed here. The macro issue stands with the 2nd link. That's a bad job, DJI, very bad job. I fully second camera conspiracies with the award of worst release, if not, ever... of the year for sure ;- )

yup Without mention the whole leftover... A total failure (wth is that?) IMHO despite the (Insta360) design.

Nothing against people enjoying sports footage at all : ) Let alone extreme sports ; ) What I feel annoying is the lack of quality we generally find when people shoot them or the whole mania ad nauseam about it. To begin with absence of care about framing, photography, etc.. Without mention the way people infer a small camera is made for. There's a gap from there to regular capture devices still to be fulfilled. There should be more love for nonintrusive acquisition. Not everyone seeking for miniaturization on cinematography is necessarily looking for action cameras. The way the manufacturers or their marketing sees the trend, is underwhelming, to say the least. To whom like me has his roots based on neorealism or some frontier in-between narrative and documentary, as for instance, will invariably appreciate a small form factor with better IQ match. Not easy to find to each release nowadays, exactly because of the above-mentioned I've just written. Last but not least, all of this also in behalf of extreme sports shooters obviously, why not? ; ) When people know what they're doing ofc :- )

Curious camera feature all about my current fave smartphone... the classic experience of Hasselblad XPan in a smartphone + over 20MP, with a 30 mm focal length of 7552 × 2798 resolution and a 45 mm focal length of 7872 × 2916 resolution : ) And a default black and white mode based on the Ilford Delta 400 film, go figure... https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_9_and_9_pro_update_adds_hasselblad_xpan_mode_for_the_camera-news-51009.php by MacLiam source >> more info And now that we know how worthy or not the new DJI Action 2 is... seems clear that's the best 4K 120fps under 800 euros (I bought my unit for 700 euros without VAT)

Delightful read back to the usual EOSHD standards we've been used to ;- )

Well, before was the shallow DOF : X Now we have to eat all those horrible artifacts dancing on the usual crappy footage to show off very great healthy life made extreme sports all over YT and camera manufacturers new releases... *sigh* : D

And when you see two unrelated people saying the same... It's not from nowhere.

Funny dude, talented acting skills BTW : ) He's a rare oasis a bit lost or one of a kind among the other youtubers :- )

I wonder on its weight though... Seems bulky : X

Absolutely agreed : ) It's a pain watch them... Another total deal breaker on minute 14:18 : (

Nice find on that Sharp entry, Andrew, had no idea about : ) Back to this release now, to my experience, this sounds much of a planned and very organised marketing move. Ah and I meant for 4K 120 fps up there obviously.

And YT is already flooded of empty and crappy footage... For Christ's sake! What a miss : X People think wider is more when it is actually the less the more...
