    Stills image sharpness?

    Well I don't think the comparison is ridiculous, after all... the RX100M4 uses a similar sensor made by the same company, the same sensor size, so I think it is comparable. The RX100M4 also has a zoom range of 24-70mm or so, f1.8 at the wide end, adjustable aperture, of course it would have a...

    A2S and MA2 photo comparisons

    If you look/quote one paragraph further in my post, I already mentioned you can basically mitigate any issues relating to DR by taking bracketed shots. And when drones are in the air with such wide angle lenses on a 3-axis gimbal, it's as if you're shooting with a tripod all the time, which...

    Stills image sharpness?

    Yes that’s why that’s exactly what I did. Downloaded the raw files and imported them in LR, lowered the default sharpening to 0 and made the comparison.

    A2S and MA2 photo comparisons

    Just took some samples from Billy Kyle's new video that says how much better the A2S is compared to the MA2. The same samples can be downloaded from his video's description. Pretty clear the MA2 is sharper... but on the video he keeps saying the A2S is "hands down better than the MA2". Not sure...

    Stills image sharpness?

    I've brought my RX100IV to skyscraper observatories around 400m (1200ft) high and look pictures of the city, they were sharp as hell. I'd just think this being a fixed aperture prime lens, DJI could've done a better job with the lens. I found some sample pics of MA2 vs A2S on this thread and...

    A2S and MA2 photo comparisons

    For stills I would argue sharpness is more important than Dynamic Range. In the photos A2S never really catches up to the MA2 in sharpness until significant artifacts are introduced, this is using the Sharpness slider in Lightroom. And if you sharpen the MA2 just a little bit, the A2S is just...

    A2S and MA2 photo comparisons

    These originals are from the poster abruzzopat in this thread. Just scroll up a little and you can see the links to the photos he uploaded to google drive.

    Just received the 2s - some thoughts and some whinging.

    I looked through a few raw photos side by side between the air 2 and 2S and I found the air 2 48mp images much sharper than the 2S. kind of disappointed as I was looking to get the 2S but seems the lens isn’t great would love to hear your thoughts on the raw stills compared to the air 2

    A2S and MA2 photo comparisons

    Thanks for the shots. Amazes me how hard it is to find raw sample photos to download. The only other ones I was able to find were on dpreview. Every reviewer says the images are better on the A2S because of the bigger sensor... But from these two photos, it is pretty clear the MA2 produces...

    High ISO photos from MA2S anyone ?

    I’d like to see them as well

    Stills image sharpness?

    I’m deciding whether or not to take the plunge in getting an Air 2S, 1 inch sensor at this size and price seems like an awesome deal. I shoot almost exclusively stills so lack of adjustable aperture not a deal breaker for me. However, how is the lens on this thing? I went over to dpreview, they...

    Why Geofencing is the Best Thing that Happened

    This is why we need geofencing. People can talk about liberty and freedom to do what they want with the drone they own. But the fact is most people are dumb and they will do dumb things if you give them the opportunity to do so. And although most people are dumb, no one thinks of themselves as...
