Pocket 3 is the camera killer 😂. When I watched three reviews of this bad boy, I went to Best Buy to exchange my Sony ZV, which I bought a few days ago. Ever since I have seen a lot of people agreeing that this camera is revolutionary 😊. Now those brands Sony, Canon, …. Are thinking about what to do next.

Great comparison, and it's amazing how much the DJI Pocket has approved over the first two generations. At times I had trouble telling which camera was which. Thanks for sharing.

[raywu]

This is a wonderful real-life video comparison test. Your setup is flawless. Thank you!

[BonoboD]

Thanks for doing these tests. I just received the Osmo pocket 3 and was so curious to see how it would compare with my other camera, Sony A7S3. The Osmo is very impressive, and did better than the A7S3 with the on camera mic test.

[formattester]

this was a fascinating comparison! i already have the pocket 3 but still looking to discover a few new things about the camera. your video did just that. thank you!

[LearnSpanishWorld]

So glad you uploaded this video. This is exactly what I was looking for :)

[jeremytanmagic]

SUPER HELPFUL Buddy! Thank you for this!

Welp, I hate to be the bearer of bad news… but from the footage you just shared there’s nothing between the two. Add a touch of softness in post to the OP3 footage and it will be indistinguishable from the Sony footage. Of course you can add fast lenses to the Sony for super blurred out backgrounds; but other than that they look about equal. And I watched this on a 90” screen. Even dynamic ranged looked little different. However, the audio from the pocket was way better than the Sony.

This is good news. These advancements will save us tons of money.

I also have both - and in my own use I much prefer the Pocket 3.

[palleung]

you did a great job bro, I spent long long time to find like this compare's video. thank you

[Collin_Nicholas]

Thinking about getting the OP3 to shoot automotive B roll like rollers and bringing with me to car meets. Would you recommend getting it or getting a gimbal for my A6400? Mainly just want something fast and easy

[RyanKorea]

For the Night Test at 3:57 did you use the low light mode or auto on the pocket? Looks excellent!

[lankyluc]

Hey man, thanks for this. The setup made for a great comparison vid.

What a fantastic comparison, thank you! I have to say, the Sony does have a really nice look in a lot of the clips, but not all of them. In some of them the Pocket 3 actually looks a lot nicer.. However, overall I think the Pocket 3 is the clear winner, as it ticks so many other boxes, and the look is perfectly fine. I don't know what your sharpness and noise settings are on the Pocket 3, but I like to have the sharpness all the way down and the noise reduction at -1, this helps to de-digitize the image somewhat.

The Pocket 3 really is an insanely good camera, and when you factor in all of the additional gear required to make a typical full frame camera deliver the same stability, audio capabilities and low light performance... It's kind of a no brainer to me! Full frame cameras will always have their place in the world. But I think that "place" is quickly getting smaller and more specialised. There simply is no need for anything that bulky for your typical vlog / solo film maker gig, when the Pocket 3 can perform this well!

Was there no color grading done or any of the exposure adjusted in post or anything? thank you

Been getting into video and my goal is just to get home video style for travel, nothing cinematic or anything. Yet I have to get a gimbal so I don't throw up watching the footage, a mic to get audio that doesn't sound thin, empty or affected my the slightest wind and ND filters so my aperture doesn't decrease so much that any type of dirt on my sensor or lens no matter the size, doesn't get focused on. So much stuff in order to get what I consider decent video footage.

At first I thought the Pocket 3 quality seemed too bright, as if there's no shadows compared to the A7 but the Log footage is extremely close. The stabilization test of you running... was amazing how smooth the Pocket 3. On a device the size of a hand and no where near the footrprint of a compact gimbal like their RS 3 Mini.

I don't know how you did it, holding both cameras at the same time at almost the same angle, great work because of this!

[KevinZJR]

I think you should use the gyro stabilization on the A7siii to do the comparison. For hand-held footages gyro stabilization is the only way to go. Maybe also use a focal length wider than 20mm on the A7siii+gyro side, to give space for the gyro cropping.

[dougmacmillan]

Fascinating. I just returned from a trip to Austria and Slovenia. I took my Fuji X-S20 and took both stills and video. For a travel trip like that, I could make do with the latest iPhone and the Pocket 3, but don't tell my wife quite yet. Thanks for the excellent comparison!

Sitting here watching this like 🤔 that look like the Rio

Glad to come across another Gburg resident. Instant sub bro ! Keep up the great work
