Love hearing your opinions on this stuff! Like I said, there will be a low light video test AND then a final wrap up video of these three trying to get a bit more comprehensive on features and pros and cons. Keep the comments and questions coming though. You guys help me decide what to test on this channel!

DJI Action 5 Pro is my next camera for these reasons:

1. Reliability (No random crashing/freezing)
2. Fast transfer speeds (Wifi 6 and usb 3.0)
3. Fast Charging (80% in 30 minutes)
4. OLED Screen in front and back (better for viewing in sunlight)
5. Long lasting battery
6. Good image quality
7. Very fast quick capture
8. Improved low light
9. up to 20m under water without a case.
10. Supports 2 mics
11. And most of all much cheaper than GoPros or Insta 360s offering. DJIs Adventure pack is much cheaper than the GoPro and Insta360 bundle offering.

After watching the video with all the details on my 65-inch OLED Phillips TV, the clear winner is the GoPro. Only in cases of low light, it doesn't win. I use action cams for outdoor sports and I look for image quality and versatility. Greetings from Spain.

Undecided because i liked each camera at different times throughout the video.

Image quality GoPro is the winner for me, except low light. I don’t know how to describe it, I think the colors might be more accurate in daylight. Bummer that they still have the old chip. Some technical specs of the Action Pro 5 are great, like the battery and internal storage. But I guess this doesn’t count for the pure image comparison review.

Great comparison video once again David and thanks for taking the trouble to put this together. From watching it several times, here's my take:
Bright and front lit - Action 5 followed by Hero 13
In the Shadows - Action 5 followed by Ace Pro
Underwater - Hero 13 followed by Action 5
Audio Quality - Both Hero 13 and Action 5

One thing that surprised me in this comparison is the clarity of the Ace Pro which isn't great. For example 1:33 the lifeguard sign, 1:55 your face, 3:35 her better half's face and 5:07 your face

Actually liked the DJI Action Pro 5 - I was watching color balancing in your varying light conditions. Insta seemed to shine in low light but for overall picture and sound quality, it just seemed that the DJI was more generally appealing. Interesting reading other comments.

[CLAJSAIDAKLS]

Small tip for making comparison vids: If you could have the text color different for the camera names then it would be very easy for the viewer to track what camera it is while watching the image without having to move eye to read the camera name in that few secs without requiring to pause the vid, thanks.

Already picked up the action 5 pro, I think the footage just looks the best in most situations. I’ve got a couple action 4s and haven’t had a single issue with them. Everything just works as they should.

[AbelVlogsRD]

This is a great test. I liked the GoPro almost every time. Underwater it looked amazing. Insta360 looked great in the shadows tho

[andreas_rr]

Honestly, after the first round, it was pretty easy to guess the cams right each time. the ace has the best colours, but is rather soft in the details, the DJI is sharper and still pretty nice colours, while the GoPro is also sharper but has the least saturation.
Having said that, i'd say the DJI is my personal overall favourite. Maybe the ace can correct the clarity by tweaking the settings, but as it is in your preview, the softer image feels suboptimal especially when there's text that you simply can't read as well as on either of the other two cams.

As for audio, the DJI is again my favourite (in terms of voices having the best clarity), then the GoPro, which might actually be better suited for anything other than voices thanks to more bass, while the ace sounds a little underwhelming due to neither bass nor voice being the main focus.

[SuperKaptajnen]

Looks like the GoPro strangely has more details in most of the clips, despite the smaller sensor. Wish you had the Action 4 in there as well as I have found in the Action 4 vs 5 comparisons, the Action 4 appears sharper than the 5, which again is strange to me.

[Animation-myug]

The GoPro Hero 13 has a smaller sensor, the image quality is incredible. I think at that point the competition is tight. 😊

[AlunCrockford-gown]

For how close the Ace pro is to the Dji action 5 only makes it better for the ace pro as there is a lot more expectation now for the Ace pro 2. Tight call but I think Ace pro edges it for me.

[Rawvisualsmedia]

I watch these reviews and I still find myself enjoying GoPro's color science way better! Great review David!

[jordanverstegen]

For someone’s first action camera which one is the best for ease of use?

[stefancelmare]

Can't wait for the ace pro 2. I have a go pro and I use it mostly for recording myself flipping on the trampoline. What's super convenient is that I can watch what I just recorded on my phone without having to download the clip. Thing that I can't do on my sony alpha.

[JustTravis_trj]

I want the Ace, especially if they update it with 10 bit and log…. But I really wish it connected wirelessly to a mic like the DJI

DJI def has the advantage of that ecosystem

[pureheartvisuals]

Thanks David for the comparison. It's really a trip to read the comments on this one. After working with so many Cameras I was locked in on one. The under the bridge test was revealing.

[mshaftenberg]

What's missing as info: Did you use everything out of the box? I own the Action 5 Pro and there is an absolute difference if you tone down Texture/Sharpness and Noise Reduction. Even in lowlight the Action 5 is superior with NR setting to -1 or -2, just a quick tip.
