It's not a clear cut advantage.To me that's an advantage over my 28 in the 2pro considering the 400' altitude restriction.
Oh yah the perspective thing.Ok,I'll take a zoom in the maybe someday Mavic 3.It's not a clear cut advantage.
It's just different.
It could be nice if you need a wider angle.
IBut not so if you want a less wide angle.
Not sure but sounds like depth of field on a 22mm lens is pretty deep on a 1" sensor.Focused at 20' depth of field is 4.85'-infinity.The calculator I used A Flexible Depth of Field CalculatorI have been flying an Air 2 over the last month. Got my Air 2s yesterday. Took it out for several flights this morning. There is definitely an issue with distortion compared to the Air 2 and not in a good way. Furthermore, there's a big difference in the way the Air 2s focuses. I'm assuming the larger sensor narrows the depth of field, which means--unlike the Air 2--you have to really pay attention to your focus and adjust it constantly. I came home with an hour of blurry footage which has NEVER happened with the Air 2. Pilot error probably, but having to worry about focus is distracting to say the least. If you have an Air 2, I wouldn't sell it without test driving the Air 2s first. I may be sending the new Air 2s back.
Then it must be something else. Testing it again this afternoonNot sure but sounds like depth of field on a 22mm lens is pretty deep on a 1" sensor.Focused at 20' depth of field is 4.85'-infinity.The calculator I used A Flexible Depth of Field Calculator
So if you focus manually on something 20' away all is in focus 4.85' on.Does the 2S have focus peaking?You can be even more conservative if you know your closets object is further than 20'.At a 10' focus depth of field is 3.9'-Infinity.
With no optical zoom added to the new model, I will stay with my Air 2. It does everything that I need really well.

I took mine for a flight and the props only really showed up during sport mode when diving/turning and I was heading into a breeze and even then it's not super apparent. If you're filming in the 5.4k mode you can easily crop it out and back down to 4k.
That sounds unlikely.There is definitely an issue with distortion compared to the Air 2 and not in a good way
Like Rosanne Rosanadanna says"It's always something"Then it must be something else. Testing it again this afternoon
Sounds like a good decision and $700 less with flymore kit and $50 less per battery.
Is there variable focus on the 2s? I thought it was just the larger sensor with fixed aperture and fixed focus?I have been flying an Air 2 over the last month. Got my Air 2s yesterday.

Hi. How you fix that pincushion distortion?
I did correct my initial statement about "distortion". The A2S image is fully corrected for wide-angle to produce straight horizon and edges. That is where the problem lies. If you create a video that scans scenery while panning you will get a rather nasty "edge stretching" effect which is given the very wide angle not surprising. Now, if you video ocean horizon or some close-up architectural stuff, the A2S does that well without any corrections.Hi. How you fix that pincushion distortion?
This situation happens only when you shoot in Mastershoots, because using camera rotation left or right..That view of props is a real concern, looks like DJI have taken a step backwards with the A2s. I had contemplated getting one but now am concerned that props show up too much.
