While the amount of curvilinear distortion on the Sony is still saddening, at least it has a lens that projects an image that adequately covers the sensor and leaves the photographer with the option of using all 20mp.

I'm fully aware of the consumer law in Aus but the sad part is that DJI claim that their specs and advertising are legit, because it does have a 20mp sensor. The fact it's unusable is ignored by them and when photo evidence is provided they go to ground and cease all contact. So to enforce my...

I'd simply be happy to have the use of what they sold me.... a "20mp sensor". I can bypass the embedded profile and make my own corrections, but I can't avoid having to dump the unexposed or shitty areas that the sensor captures by seeing the edge of the image circle. This is not what they...

But the underlying fact is that a large portion of the original sensor data is discarded, so the final image when presented at a 20mp size is interpolated no matter which way you look at it.... and this, while it does not matter to some, does matter to others.

Don't bother anyway, as it's a mix of contradictions. He calls the upscaling on the images a "myth" and then proceeds to talk about how some pixels are upscaled others downscaled and in one case even talks about being left with a 13mp image to work with. His sample images display that original...

Yes Lightroom is automatically applying the correction by using the embedded profile (and you can't bypass it in LR). The lens itself is in fact not that much different than earlier models, as it still have heaps of curvilinear distortion sadly.

Look... I get it. You're happy with it. Your level of acceptance in this case happens to be lower than mine. More power to you. But that doesn't mean that my level of dissatisfaction is unjustified. The advertised specs are misleading, end of story, cant be denied. It has a 20mp sensor, does...

It's not a question of price point for many of us, it's about getting the camera that they advertised. $50 more on top of a $3000 drone and most wouldn't bat an eye.... especially if it meant that we got the "even better" performing camera that we rightfully expected.

....and I am one of those guys that "doesn't like what they are doing" 25% of pixels is a LOT to chuck away and it has nothing to do with "tech" that will improve over time as mentioned, but everything to with DJI using cheap arse lens that was not designed to cover a 1 inch sensor. If they...

No, it "interpolates" the final image size from a sensor area of about 15mp or so. The P4P doesn't use all the sensor even in 2:3 aspect ratio. Search "20mp" in this forum to see where it gets discussed.

My P4P+ is now back at DJI for "repair". They would not enter a discussion regarding the sensor/profile issue and just kept side-stepping and asking for it's return. I know they will not achieve anything with regard to this, but hopefully having my drone will at least open the discussion...

I firmly believe the easiest workflow comes with CaptureOne (although it comes at a cost). CaptureOne is a professional level RAW processing application that far exceeds LR and ACR for output quality.... and it of course provides a simple menu selection to avoid the DJI profile, while providing...

I don't doubt that you have data recorded in the corners, but your lens is well centred and the image I believe "just get's there". If your lens was a little off centre you would most likely see the edge of the image circle as I do. Even with that, abrupt vignetting as we see here is not the...

I don't believe the corner darkness to be vignetting in the traditional sense. The darkening is sudden and abrupt and is accompanied be defined band of image degradation in my case. This is evidence to me of "image circle fall off" (ie the lens does not produce an image circle large enough to...
