Thank you sooo much for this. I'm looking for an action cam that can take good photos (aside from great videos), since I wouldn't want to bring my mirrorless camera for an island hopping / beach travels 😩. Im leaning on DJI this time. Might I suggest you make more videos of action cams that revolves around taking still photos . I think it would be cool, especially for those normal people who just want to take good photos & vids in their rigorous/adventure travels. Most action cam reviews focused more on videos, and most of the time bypassing/neglecting the photo aspect of it. (I mean i do get it buuuut need all the deets for everything)
I’ve been looking for this review before purchasing it. And yes, I want to use it as well as an extra camera for travelling (action or underwater photography and video) in addition to my iPhone and Nikon Camera. Thanks man for this. At least I know what else I can do with it and what it’s best for. Cheers!
I took landscape photos when out in the ocean with the Hero 11. I shoot raw and got some decent shots. it has more megapixels than the DJI. Of course it has a small sensor, but a small enough camera to take in salt water, without bulky housings for mirrorless cameras. Also the Hero cameras allow burst mode even in RAW shootinf. so I can take 5 frames in a second, to capture the right moment
What I observed watching your pictures, is that the expensive camera pics are actually less "real" compared to DJI/GP pics. Yes, DJI/GP pics present distorsion, especially at close distances, but the resulting pics transmit way more what a person would observe in real life. If the goal is to have photos for journal/marketing purposes, then yes, Sony pics would be better, as the image is being converted into an unreal artistic visually pleasant element in a way that our eyes would never see in real life. If the goal is to transmit the real scene, so any person can feel like he's in that exact place, DJI/GP would be better. For a proper comparison, should choose some similar lens to the DJI/GP ones, and then compare all 3 cameras output/price wise.
This video actually gave me more perspective. I am on a budget, seeing what the action 4 does and how flexible it is with photos, clearly if you want good photos then you need a expensive camera, otherwise it gave me a good idea what gopro photos and action 4 photos look like and then compared to a more professional camera.
@@Freyia935 Thank You, glad to hear that. Funny thing is, I make these videos for myself, but it's nice that other people watch them and they come in handy :)
Obviously the Sony is going to win before watching but this is still an interesting video to see how action camera photography stands up vs the full frame camera. Straight to the point…comparison of all camera images. Just the video I was looking for.
ln all of these photos you give more preference to a better position and look for Sony I think. Why? The action camera's photos looks like the women is not completely ready for the click.
Well, the Sony reacts instantly like a photo camera, the others do not, you press the button and it’s not instant, which makes taking photos very awkward. The Sony is made for photos, the other two more for photos.
You know what, please don't compare sony to other action camera, because action camera has not adjustable options not much as a digital camera, digital camera is for all kind of professional photography and video. Thanks
@@PhillipSkrabaLol period! Why are people so entitled to what SOMEONE ELSE posts?! I found the video helpful anyway. Thanks for taking the time to produce and share this.
You have done the deep dive on these Phillip... an important bit of analysis we dont usually get. I, for one appreciate the dedication!
John!! It’s Friday, time to relax, you’ll be the only one watching 😂
Hi, I just wanted to know if the DJI Action 4 is good for photography For fun, I’m thinking about purchasing it.
Do you know if the dji can zoom in and take good photos of something like a sunset, or a wave?
Thanks so much for so much information you're providing on these two cameras. I really appreciate it.
Thanks! Hope any info comes in handy.

would be nice to see comparison to a phone too
When I pick up the iPhone 15 Pro Max, I'll be sure to do just that.
Phillip, I am watching too. Still unsure if i should get GP12. 😢
It’s an excellent action camera, so is the Action 4, you can’t go wrong with either.
Amazing video as always. What were you shooting in normal,Hdr,or superphoto?
Thanks! A mix of superphoto and raw, it’s all pretty much the same to tell you the truth lol.
Thanks for this video
You're welcome!
I recommend to choose dji osmo action 4 for action camera in 2024,
And other hand vlogging or photography sony is best.
Great, thanks for the info.
Without the Sony which one do you prefer?
I probably prefer the photos from the Action 4 to be honest.
Thanks for the comparison
No problem, hope it came in handy!
thanks a lot
You're welcome!
Thanks for this!
Sure thing!
Thank you bro❤
Happy to be of service!
I don't get it why you made this video.. No one would use action cam for this and they are totally for different usage scenarios...
I made it because I wanted to 🤷🏻♂️
Me!

You know what, I can compare a donkey in a sombrero to an action camera if I wish, it's my channel.

But you did with hero 10 and wasn’t that bad :)
The Hero 10 did a good job too!
Compare action camera to another action camera,like dji osmo action 4 vs insta360 vs gopro 12, baye
I've done that, even in this video, duh.
