Category 1 in the US is sub-250g, which a class 1 Mavic 3 is definitely not.

Seems really obvious at those discounts on a current production model. Now maybe if they had 90% off MSRP of a Spark...

The RC always gets the update a bit later than the mobile devices.

Highly doubt they'll give waypoints that's one of their biggest selling point to go up to the Mavic 3 or an enterprise edition of the drone. The trend I noticed is they won't give waypoints to something unless it's fully omnidirectional in its obstacle avoidance, and I'm not sure what...

Once in a while they still do updates (either DJI Fly where it applies to more than just a specific model, or bug fixes). I remember the Mini 1 had one final firmware update a couple months after the Mini 2 released giving it 2.7k @ 48fps and some other stuff, which was kind of a welcome bump...

Doesn't add anything for the Air 2S, it's release is just to add support for the new Air 3 and controllers (RC-N2, RC2). Otherwise just a photo editor update which isn't device specific really.

So it seems DJI has confirmed that the sensors on the Air 3 is the same ones used on the Mini 3, just with updated software. So yea... that's a no for me.

Often times that's not how it works. They may market differences as being better or just newer, but doesn't mean it must have something better. For example, it now has omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, meaning sideways flight should now be protected to some degree. They didn't change the...

Would have already been at that point if it were true. You can't really beat the physics of the lens that way.

What does the stacked sensor do for the video side especially in lower light or lower contrast conditions?

Did seem substantially 'heftier' in the hand, but really looking forward to see how those cameras compare to it's predecessors.

And course some of the venting does lead to people actually testing out the complaints. For example on the higher end of apple, it's a lot of fluff in the real world.

12MP Doesn't require the rest of the world to remain completely still as it uses 8 sensor moments to create it's image. Not just a matter of demosaicing, the sensor has to shift in each direction 8 times to produce that 48mp image which creates artifacts between either movement of the ground...

yea it doesn't take much to see the flaws in the "pixel shift" capture especially on a flying camera. Some of the earlier Olympus land cameras did the same, and you can spot some of the little artifacts especially if any portion of the frame is not completely still (water moving, clouds, people...
