What two cameras would you like me to compare next? - Joe

[SuperMixmaster]

Pocket 2 is more durable, had it for more than 3 years, dropped it many times, and it's still going strong. Bought the Pocket 3, 7 months ago, and the flippy screen stopped flipping...so the pocket 3 is being repaired, and I'm back using the Pocket 2 again. Flip screen is a big problem on the Pocket 3!

I have spent the past few days watching all your "pocket vs" reviews as I am looking at purchasing a few rigs for content creation. I just wanted to say these are the most helpful and detailed videos I have watched on the subject. Thanks for the awesome work!

[triumph_cv]

in some of the side by sides the Pocket 2 looked better - warmer. I think at half the cost it's a fantastic option!

[nazarethorganics]

My go to channel for all things videography. This guy never disappoints.

I'm still using the Pcoket 1...In Fact, I have two of them. For making YouTube videos I found that no one really cares much about the visuals if the audio is good. I connect the DJI Mic 1 to the Pocket 1 and all good. My best videos are with the Pocket 1, while the videos I made with more expensive cameras only did so so...Great video as always:)

[dreamxlab]

honestly probably the most practical product review ever thank uuu it’s a really great format of a YouTube tech vid!!!

[reviewrattlesnake]

Easily the best video on the topic. The effort that went into this in-depth comparison is simply amazing. I think I'm happy with my Pocket 2 for now, the difference in Image Quality does not justify a big purchase such as this one. Later down the line I will surely pick it up, but I am in no rush after watching this video. Thanks!

[KjartanAbel]

Thanks for taking the time to create this detailed comparison! Your hard work really shows, and your production skills have seriously leveled up over the past year. Fantastic job, Sir!

I just got my OP3 two days ago. So, I'm just getting started. But, I watched a ton of videos about the OP3 before I bought it. For me, I got the OP3 for the 10-bit video and the larger monitor. With 10-bit I can match it up with my FX30 more easily.

At 9:11, I could see that the OP3 had better bokeh and separation than the OP2. Probably due to the 1-inch sensor, would be my guess.

I'm taking a vacation on the 20th, when I will be filming a lot with the OP3. Much of which will be for a short film I'm working on. This weekend I will be filming with the OP3 with the DJI ND filters I got. So, I hope to have some footage to share with on my channel and the OP3 Facebook group. Thanks again for another excellent comparison video. Cheers.

9:55 this is why i carry 3 sd cards 256gb each xD Running out of space is never an option! 9:05 this shot shows that the OP3 has better dynamic range and bokeh, the footage looks much more pleasant to look at and the sky isn't blown. Pretty good stuff!

[MrYondaime]

The instant separation between the subject and the background Alone is worth the extra price, better yet the better video quality and all the other upgrades.

[joseprada]

What an Intro! I prefer the Osmo Pocket 3 due to the updated display and image quality.

[chiasammy]

You put so much effort into this. Great video! Thank you

[Baldcafe]

I had the 2, sold it and got the 3. The 3 is fantastic but when you are vlogging (you mentioned this point) it totally blurs the background and you can't see much of the environment you are in. For this reason I literally just repurchased the 2 for an upcoming trip.

[MikadoYT]

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 looks indeed better but I feel like with some video editing and Color setting etc. is possible to get the same result with the DJI 2 😅 The difference is not that much.

[driftertravels]

I don't doubt that the Pocket 3 is a better video camera, it is newer and larger. When I had a look at one I decided not to upgrade from a Pocket 2 because the main reason I got a an Osmo Pocket camera was to be able to film walking videos more discreetly than with a phone on a gimbal. Imo...the 3 is not much more discreet than a phone on a gimbal, especially with the horizontal screen. Saying that I would like to be able to film better videos at night, the Pocket 2 is really pushed to its limit and have to do more editing to keep the noise at an acceptable level. But a very informative video, it has made me think about just biting the bullet and getting a Pocket 3...will see :)

[dadfixdit]

Great video. I have been hemming and hawing for months on how to upgrade my production quality. This was super helpful, thanks so much for the time and effort.

[FernandoPaulik]

Amazing work!!! Not a vlogger, but want to make family memories. Live in Southern California and have a 4 yr old daughter. Lots to do here and want to capture a lot of these moments. I don't have a new editing rig. I did notice the difference in the vlog quality between the 2. Still kind of undecided if the difference is worth it. Not on social media to shoot in vertical either. I appreciate the details and your work.

[pavinder]

Wow, this is by far the best side by side comparison of these two cameras that I've seen. Thanks so much for all your effort.
I wonder, can the blown out skies of the Pocket 2 be compensated for by slightly underexposing, or will this then make the rest of the image too dark? Or is that a simple recovery in editing software, as long as the histogram wasn't clipped when shooting?
