Mavic Mini - did it get any big updates after launch?

My memory is a bit hazy, but hopefully someone can jog it.

I remember watching a review that gave it good ratings, but a few of the missing features over other drones were dealbreakers for me, and I don't mean missing 4K.

It was something about not being able to lock exposure etc? And no Log? No RAW in photo mode?

What are its camera shortcomings?

What are its camera shortcomings?

Sensor size for serious photography.
Fine for average amatuer use.

If you really work on it and know its limitations though, you can do reasonable things with any of the smaller camera sensor drones.
It's more their aerial perspective that strikes people.

It doesn’t have adjustable focus, it is infinity focus full time. So things are pretty reasonably in focus all the time but it doesn’t allow you to get that tack sharpness in photos you could get with an adjustable focus camera.

For video it’s fine though, could make the argument it’s better for video.
