I have not upgraded, and may not.
My reasons are simply that the distorted horizon line is distracting. I know there are plug ins to fix, but my concern for that is that other objects in frame would also be changed; uncontrollably. Or is it the other objects are also distorted like the barrel of a fish eye lens or lean in like an ultra wide lens? Also, making that edit is just one more step, in an already taxing workflow.
Regarding low light performance, I live/fly in the country. There aren't many city lights, and the lights we have are strip malls, so...worth it?
Low light in the pasture is part of the aesthetic.
I'm not a big fan of HDR. To me, certain objects in the frame should be of a different exposure. My observation of HDR is that everything is 'properly' exposed. Not sure that's natural.
What does appeal to me is access to the full exposure triangle. Still, at altitude, it may not provide the optics that street level lenses do. So, it may simply be a way to eliminate the need for ND filters while maintaining a low iso. Can't see the need for even more light with the sky in frame . With a tight aperture, there would be even more depth of field on a camera that already has massive depth of field.
My understanding is that the codec 265 is a resource hog making an edit oriented rendering necessary, and that is very time consuming.
So, for the time being, I'll stick with what I know.
I still like flying my MP, but drone photography/videography has lead me to street photography, which I find more interesting as it is less predictable. So, my money is toward mirror less cameras like the newly released compact Ricoh Gr iii.
Can I interest anyone in a
Crystalsky Ultra? This is in excellent condition with a polar pro cover to protect the screen, and a Mavmount complete with tripod adapter; highly recommended. It fits perfectly in a DJI Spark flymore bag having two sleeves for the batteries of the CSU. I'm willing to sell all of this for $750 with buyer paying shipping. If interested, PM me.
