All settings the same. Shot with automatic exposure, 4K 30fps, H.264, normal color profile.

I used digital zoom on the original Mavic 3 to roughly match the length off the medium telephoto lens on the Mavic 3 Pro. Obviously, the dedicated camera and lens on the Mavic 3 Pro is way better than digital zoom on the original Mavic 3, but what I found interesting was how the super telephoto lens on the Mavic 3 Pro seems to deliver slightly higher quality footage than the original Mavic 3. With the wide angle camera I think image quality performance is practically identical.

Nice comparison video. +1

The reason the Pro's 7x optical looks better is because it is. I read somewhere the super telephoto lens was "reworked." Whatever that means...

I carefully studied each series and do agree that the M3 medium and long tiles are softer than the new M3 pro.

Still no idea here. Can't find any unprocessed footage to review. I anticipate the MFT camera is identical to the M3 and M3 classic. The 3X camera has potential with a 1" sensor and D-log M. Could be very similar to the quality of the M2P. I don't expect much out of the 7X being 1/1.3, 4:2:0 8 bit baked in color profile. Nothing looks that great after being mangled by YouBoob processing but obviously that's to be expected.

Since the new firmware of the M3 Pro includes dlogM profile for the x7 camera , do you people think DJI will include this update for the original Mavic 3 series x7 camera, too ? Would be fair to say the least....
