    So far the DJI Osmo Action 4 has been great, and figured I would compare it to the OG, the original Osmo Action 1. The Osmo Action 1 was a big leap for the Action camera market because of its design, solid build quality, great user interface and image quality and stabilization (for that period) Let's see if the Osmo Action 1 still holds up after all these years and see how the Action 4 has improved !

      is there a setting on the Action 4 where you can adjust the sharpness ?

The Action 1 is still king in it's own right though, the 4 is sharper, wider and a bit better dynamic range along with better audio amps but the action 1 still holds strong. I still have my action 1 using up to this day and the only reason I would upgrade is for that outstanding battery life the Action 4 has.

The shadows on your face are almost harsh, yet the detail in the brick of your home is mucho better in the detail than the 1. Hoefully the gremlins from R3 wont be in the R4.

    Awesome video, thanks! I bought the OA1 brand new in the beginning of last year (I didn't like the OA2), before the OA3 was announced. At the time, even though I knew it was dated, it was still the best I could do in my budget. I'd like an OA3 or OA4 and this OA4 footage looks amazing, but the quality of the OA1 is still great at the price point and better than anything I can shoot with a cell phone or any of the point and shoot digital cameras I have laying around.
    The focusing problems of the OA3 have me a little gun shy of the newer products, I look forward to more OA4 videos to see how things flush out as time goes on. I'm wondering if all the focusing problems of the OA3 are the reason they rushed the OA4 out, or perhaps it was due to parts scarcity or something along those lines for the BOM of the OA3.

It's a fantastic camera much like the original Osmo Action was when it first came out.

    I have been using my OA1 for a few years, and loved it...
    I use it mainly for watersports (kitesurfing and foiling), so far the OA4 for me is better: much longer battery life, wider FOV, I can change pre-set settings on the fly and hear in which mode I am (mounted on my helmet), better stabilisation, horizontal level stabilisation, much better color in low light... and probably more to discover.
    What I'm missing is the burst function in photo mode , and yesterday I had severe problems with overheating camera. I was using it in full sunlight air temp 28°C, no wind. It overheated in 4K 60 after a few minutes, 4K 30, 1080P 60 and 1080P30. overheating took more time with lower res and less FPS, but was still a problem... (it was in full sun with backscreen towards the sun, so very bad situation for overheating) ... My OA1 never overheated... I guess I will have to cover it for use in full sunlight without cooling.

    The 4 absolutely looks better than the OG. But the question for me is "Is it enough better to make me spend the money to upgrade since my OG is working fine and I've got a ton of accessories?". And I think the answer so far, is no. One thing I'd love to see is a comparison between them of say, documenting the repair of something on a workbench, say at arm's reach. Yes, I know, not really the right camera for that but other than my phone it's the camera I most often have. Also, why did they remove the ability to hold level on the OG? Makes no sense to me unless they were appropriating someone else's tech and got a C&D notice from their lawyers. Thanks!

      @WORTHITORNOT  10 місяців тому +2

      I think that if you are satisfied with your Osmo Action 1 and from this video you don't feel a need to upgrade, then by all means don't. Unfortunately in our current Tech world, everyone wants the latest and the greatest as they think it will somehow change/improve their lives, it won't. My old Iphone 7 plus still takes great video and when paired with a gimbal, I wouldn't need anything else, much like you and the Osmo Action 1

      Couldn't agree more. Also about iPhone... i have iPhone 8 and it is impressive what it can capture when shooting RAW with 3rd party app.
      To go back to your review.. from videos you posted, i also agree with others that OG looks better, due more natural look and not being oversharpen. But when i saw footage where people set sharpness to -2, it becomes better. Stability is better and low light performance is better due bigger sensor. So to be fair, 4 is better than 1 after tiny bit of tweeking (sharpness). I also like magnetic attachment - practical as hell. But then again, am i willing to spend money to uprave from OG? Not yet.
      Technology itself in camera department (being smartphone, action cams, dslr, mirrorless, compact) became obssesion and joy killer.

    The OA1 was definitely the most bang-for-the-buck action camera ever created. Wish DJI continued with it as a budget line-up (with basic features and everyday carry specs), and just introduced a premium line-up (with more features and professional specs).

    I think the 4 has slightly better sharpness and dynamic range. The rock steady seems fairly even to me. If you was in the market for a new action camera then I don't think you could get much better than the 4 but only because you cant buy a new 1 any more. The 1 was just so good when it came out that nothing has really been released that can put it to shame. The audio test surprised me. Your 1 seems to have worse audio than my one and the 4 was a lot better. How does it behave in wind. If the pre-amps have been increase does it suffer from more wind pick up?

    It looks to me like contrast is higher on OA4 (could be adjusted in post for OA1), sharpness is identical except at close range where only the OA1 is out of focus (on your face). The 4 has certainly better low light and a bit more dynamic range. OA4 for the win in audio, low light and minimum focus distance !
