Air 2s Low-light disappointment

[davedrone 178]

Just picked up Air 2s to replace my Air 2. Bought the Mini 3 Pro the previous week. Thought the A2s would do as well
in low-light situations as the Mini. Running Auto mode in both, the Mini 3 is substantially better letting in more light.
The videos are much cleaner and brighter. I was surprised by the outcome. Perhaps the M3's large 1.7 aperture more than makes up for the larger A2s 1" sensor. Any thoughts?

The Mini 3 was described as having great low light. The Air 2S was probably an improvement over the Air 2.. but not the Mini 3. There are a number of YouTube videos that cover these issues, so if your going to spend big $$ on a drone for a specific reason, it doesn't hurt to do some research before spending the $$

Got a great deal on the Air 2s. Sold my Air2. The A2s is great during the day and has much better zoom capabilities than the Mini 3.

There is always some trade off it seems. It all depends on what's important.

Dont run the Auto Mode on the A2S at night and dial in and you will get some excellent results as well.
