Judging by the recently leaked pictures, I suspect the P5 will use the same sensor as the P4P (Sony IMX183). It would make perfect sense that they will upgrade the processor to enable 10 bit colour to compliment the more professional imaging capabilities. Theses specs would make for an enticing...

Out of interest what 'in-camera' settings are you using on the P3 and the GoPro? I've not shot much with the P3 at night, but I know one thing, the Hero 4 ain't that great in low light, gets very noisy fast. These 1/2.3” CMOS sensors have limits, this is why the X5 is such a good idea for...

I have both a P3 and Hero 3 & 4 Black. In my experience my P3 images are better overall. Mainly because the GoPro has to be either; used on a narrower FOV to reduce distortion, meaning less of the overall sensor is used (as the camera uses a crop of the sensor when you reduce its FOV) or have...

Sure, it's very likely that they have had to slightly compromise on processing power in terms of the Mavics' ability to work 96p HFR rather than 120p HFR on the P4. This could well be to do with thermal management as the aircraft is so small. -- Yeah man, it's definitely the same sensor. A DJI...

There's a link to download the raw 4K clip in that YouTube description. Have a look yourself, it's as good as any P4 footage. Essentially, the Mavic has exactly the same sensor, just different optics offering less FOV. No reason why the IQ will not be as good as the P4's. No one is trying to...

Problem solved: Mavic Pro Soft Focus Issue Explained

Apparently this explains the issue seen in some test footage by Casey Neistat and Digital Rev: "The Mavic has the ability to focus down to 0.5 m for aerial selfies. But, as it's new to allow the option to focus, some early reviewers have accidentally fixed the focus to something other than...

The only differences are the total / effective pixels, this isn't an indication that the sensors are different. The 1/2.3 CMOS is a standard sensor manufactured by Sony, also used in the GoPro, etc. How any given sensor's pixels are used is down to optics and processing requirements. From DJI...

Enlighten us as to why you think it's a different sensor then.

Looks great. Where did you find that?

Yeah, fingers crossed. These are all pre-release units / firmware.

On paper it's the same sensor as the P4 which in turn is the same sensor as the P3. The main difference is the optics, i.e, the lens and glass. The Mavic lens has a larger focal distance (narrower FOV) and is f/2.2 opposed to f/2.8. This is likely where the issue will be, if there does turn out...

The footage looked very lack lustre, unsharp and out of focus. I wonder what his settings were. The Digital Rev guys did a quick and dirty comparison with the P4 (link to that part here) the footage looked better than Casey's but still less sharp zoomed-in. I've pre-ordered one of these, so...

UPDATE: I had a faulty RC USB board. After hours of tinkering around trying numerous things, I concluded it was the USB socket at fault. Sent my 8 month old P3 back to my supplier, they've fixed it by replacing the RC's USB board. Should have it back tomorrow so will report back to confirm...

Thanks will give that a bash.
