The thing is, are they unhappy because the resolution debacle or unhappy with quality as a whole? Because as much as I want to be upset about all of this, and you can read all my past messages, I wasn’t a fan of the original Mavic. If anyone remembers, the M1 and the P4 had the same, if not similar sensor, yet the P4 had better image quality and people tried to make a big deal out of that. The M1 was overhyped and it’s video quality wasn’t GREAT. A ton of post work was required just to get decent footage. I then purchased a P4P+ in its place.
I watch footage that my Mavic 2 Pro puts out and I’m not all that upset, compared to my late Phantom 4 Pro+. The slight difference in quality makes up in portability. People are expecting the technology to advance as much as their wants. Sure it may not be the best 4K, but there is more to a good image than resolution. I sat and compared footage that my Mavic 1 captured vs my Mavic 2 Pro footage and the difference is very distinct, heavily in the M2P favor. The dynamic range, less noise, non water color trees make the M2P better than the M1, but people want MORE, and now. Which is a bit unrealistic, taking that DJI still has the P4P in their lineup and wouldn’t kill that off when they just released its second iteration a few months ago.
People are quick to bash DJI, but we don’t know what their intentions were/are. Maybe they were full aware of this and are working this into the next firmware update. And as soon as all this is fixed, people will be quick to praise them like they weren’t on here bickering. Bottom line is, the drone is barely a month old and only had 1 firmware revision so far. The M1 had MANY firmware updates before it was USABLE. I still remember the gimbal jitter/jump that would happen when panning that DJI didn’t fix until December 2016, despite it being released in October 2016. Or the compass issue that were causing drones to have the toilet bowl of death and spiral out of the sky, crashing down. Give it time.
