As mentioned above, You are comparing 2 completely different camera/sensor systems and there will be differences.
If all cameras shot the same image there wouldn't be a need for all the different brands? A lot of personal preference is inherent to photography in general and bottom line, you like what you like!
The sensor in the
Air2 S is capturing much more light than the "old" Mavic's sensor so with everything else being the same, the image will get overexposed, If you are purposely trying to overexpose, the added light will be immediately apparent like in your examples. I would retry those shots with either less exposure or maybe a slight underexposure. I live in AZ so the bright sun is an issue and requires some added attention for either the S or the
M2P.
That being said, I have found the jpgs out of the S much better than the jpgs out of the
M2P and need very little ( if any) tweaking just to post, share, etc. But, I like the slightly "punchier" look anyway...It is much better than the "default auto"
M2P images are.
I agree that a few "tweaking" settings would be nice but DJI is steadily trying to differentiate the "consumer" and "pro" level drones (and I am sure the price on the
Mavic 3 will reflect that) so those features might not make it into something like the S! Some re-thinking/experimenting might be required for you to get optimal results for YOUR preferences.
Have you tried the "Smart" mode for photos? It does the whole HDR/contrast "leveling" in the app and the results might be acceptable if you want a good result straight out of the camera. Much better than previous hdr, etc modes on the drones.
Let the advanced processing do the work?
