This camera is incredible

[Charline]

I just did another full review of my DJI OSMO Action 5 Pro in low light.

It's incredible that the price has dropped from $489 (what I paid a few days ago) to $379 today.

My review is not sponsored. I have nothing to do with the maker or sellers.

But this is a very powerful little camera. Check it out.

All those features and admirable performance ... all for a few hundred bucks.  That hardly happens anymore!  From my perspective it seems like everything new (not used) in photography costs thousands, so you did quite well.  Just imagine all the slapstick you could create with that hyperlapse mode, especially in B&W.  Being small, light-weight and with good capacity there is nothingstopping you now, not that there ever really was anything stopping you before.

Thanks, SS.


To say "I am pleasantly surprised" is an understatement.


Did I say that the photo resolution is up to 40MP?

It is waterproof to a depth of 20 meters (66 feet) without any additional case.


it can typically survive drops from about 1.5 meters (5 feet) onto flat, hard surfaces (like pavement or tile) without serious damage.

Well, in that case, let's don scuba gear and have a base jump from the CN tower with a chute and land in the lake, jettison the chute and then dive to 19 meters and check the low-light submarine performance, video the assent while looking upwards, break the surface, switch to hyperlapse mode and then swim back to shore while playing circus music.  Then again, it has probably already been done.  How is the camera's IR and UV sensitivity?  When are you going to get a drone?  Sorry,  I just realized I'm still set on Silly-mode.  There, that's better.  Actually, no, it's not as much fun.  Now I wish that I hadn't responded.  Silly-mode, Goofy-mode, default mode.

Sounds like you have a plan for yourself!
