This kind of thread bemuses me!
All the people who are disappointed by the quality, were they walking through a supermarket, saw some pretty pictures on a DJI box and made an impulse purchase? They then got home , fired it all up and thought "hang on a minute, these pictures and video clips don't look half as good as what is on the box?" a bit like when you buy a big mac and what arrives in the box looks nothing like what up on the menu board above you.
Before i made what I consider to be a significant purchase costing £850, i watched every video on YouTube, i scoured Vimeo, I watched video clips in languages i can't even speak just so i could accumulate an informed decision on whether this product would deliver what i needed. I saw jello, i saw pixelation and i also saw varying degrees of chromatic aberration.
Its the same with mobile phones, a small sensor on a small device with a small lens is never exactly the best recipe for great images but the number of people moaning about the iPhone 5 / Samsung / Nokia image quality also bemuses me.
if you want high quality, buy a device designed to deliver. The GoPro is ultimately designed as an action camera, do you ever think their design brief was to include landscape photography?
if you want a fun device that be taken out of the boot of your car, powered up and be made ready in seconds, fly brilliantly with very little (if any) aviation knowledge , offer a degree of FPV, take stills remotely and record useful video onboard then this thing is amazing.
What GP3 black beating images and video? then use the £850 and invest in a proper octo that can carry a bridge camera or DSLR.
I for one just wish theyd hurry up and issue the software to let me process all the RAWs ive been shooting
edited to add, i own a GoPro3 Black which i use on my a Parrot AR Drone 2.0. Yesterday i mounted the GoPro on my PV2 as a straight down camera so i consider myself qualified to compare them both at 100% crop in PS6
