From time to time misinformation gets posted that suggests that the Mavic 4 pro isn't as good as the Mavic 3 pro that it superseded because the field of view of the main camera is slightly less.
Apparently this is a big problem ... if you are shooting in a tightly constrained location where it's not possible to move the drone back a little to get the whole subject in.
But that's not all.
The wider lens of the Mavic 3 is more encompassing which makes for more dramatic shots.
But that's all BS.
In practice the small difference in focal length is trivial and makes no difference to the results a competent photographer can achieve.
It's not the field of view of your lens that matters, it's how the photographer uses it.
Even with the finest equipment, a poor photographer can achieve poor results.
But a good photographer can create great images with mediocre equipment.
The lens isn't wide enough to create expansive images? BS
This image would have a more dramatic perspective if only the lens was wider? BS
You need a wider field of view to create images with depth? BS
The facts are that the Mavic 4 pro is a wonderful camera drone.
It flies faster, further and for longer and does everything better than previous models could.
The difference between the 24 mm (equiv) and 28 mm (equiv) lenses of the main cameras of the Mavic 3 & 4 is trivial and makes no real difference in the ability of this drone to achieve great results.
The other cameras have also been much improved as well and give the owner the ability to capture images with other dramatic perspectives like these.
