Camera improvements

the 7x lens on the M3P sucks
I managed to capture many very good images with the Mavic 3 pro's long tele, but the new one is definitely improved.
but the main camera is much better and better than the M4P in some ways.
In what ways is the Mavic 3 main camera better than the new camera that you've not been able to try yet?


no way is that ocean natural looking. I fly over the ocean everyday.
You've said that three times now but I think you don't know what you are talking about.
I've spent much of my life on the sea and I do all my flying over it and creating pictures that show it.
I have no problem with the way the Mavic 4 pro shows the water surface.
Oceans and bays all over the world have different appearances that vary with river inputs, weather, cloud cover, time of day and sun angles etc.

Yes I just posted a shot taken with the 7x M3P camera that's going viral in a group I always post in.
 
No noise reduction at all.
The images are very clean straight from the camera.
Well, from memory I believe you shoot JPEGs, right? If these are SOOC JPEGs then there is a lot of processing done inside the camera/drone before they are spat out and stored on the SD card or internal storage. Only DJI knows what they've done to the RAW captures from which the JPEGs are generated but there is definitely noise reduction and sharpening involved. It always is with all SOOC JPEGs from all cameras, DSLR including. Regardless, your photos from the 6.5x camera look clean and showing plenty of detail and that is all what counts😀 When processed right the M3P is not a slouch and holds its own. These samples are JPEGs processed from DNGs taken with all 3 cameras

That doesnt answer the question you were asked and really has no bearing

yes it does as someone just mentioned the 7x camera on the M3P is still decent like I just said. I'm the best drone pilot flying around boats easy unless you can send me a link to show different.

Well you certainly gave me something to smile about. Keep up the fantastic work. 🙄

yes I'm a legend to all the local fishermen in my area but they take advantage of my work and I get little in return just like people get music for free, why pay for something if you can get it for nothing. This was a request yesterday and I even touched up the paint a little including the name of the boat that had some rust showing.

Unless your water is black in your part of the world. It doesn’t look natural
 
This thread is turning into a comedy. I mean seriously, are you guys going to continue fighting over the color of water? This is bordering on hilarious. Plus the chest beating of the "legend" tops everything..Can this get any more rediculous? 🤣🤣🤣

So I try to limit this by showing my work and letting it speak for itself.
my work speaks for itself, this is a cropped version of what I will be printing soon on canvas.

that's due to Envy as I'm the best of the best when it comes to flying around boats.

Aha, your secret identity has been revealed. I'm surprised that you been able to shoot photos considering all the time you've been putting into tariff tantrums and the birthday parade.

I figured I would ask this here since those with the bird will likely be able to answer this...

On the new RC 2 Pro, where is the customization for the large dial that lives on the main face of the unit below the left joystick? I am not seeing it in the usual section regarding button and wheel customization...?

As an aside, from what I have seen from my two short and very windy flights today, all three cameras are well centered and look quite good, I’m stoked! I especially love the look of the 70mm cam which is my favorite one on the M3P as well.
