Its not a fail these cameras are all very similar, but you’re testing them for something they’re not. Yes it would be great to shoot close with wider Aperture for shallow DOF, but its never going to happen. I would never contemplate to get great results from this camera close in if I have a phone in my pocket. But there are loads of other things this camera can shoot and many are shooting it how it should.
Look at video below and you’ll see just how bad these cameras are in certain situations they simply cannot handle. Start at 2.55.
I watched it all, it's inopinable that in his test the OA3 and the GoPro have a very similar result, certainly using an action camera for taking pictures would be a bit like rallying with a go-kart, I don't argue with that.
Normally they are used for taking action videos, and in that case from the comparison between the two cams the GoPro 11 comes out the winner for close subjects, there are many videos on Youtube that show that.
And there are also ones that show the OA2 winning in the close focus at the same FOV, which is always 155°.
We are here to understand if there can be room for improvement, although I repeat that I am satisfied with it for my personal use (aerial shooting), and I will be even more so if they fix some horizon balance problem and maybe introduce 10-bit and gyro data.
And if I have to take videos to nearby subjects rather I use the HERO 6 or the smartphone.
An action cam can never satisfy me as my Panasonic AG-CX350, that's obvious, but the latter I certainly cannot put in my pocket, as I certainly cannot install it on an FPV racer.
Did DJI start replacing OA3 because someone complains unnecessarily, or because really some units have focus problems?
Would DJI if it had not encountered such a problem on my OA3 have taken the liberty to replace it in 4 hours from receiving the defective product to shipping another new one, and also giving me a nice DJI beanie and 70€ of spendable coupons on its store apologizing for the inconvenience?
But the other question I have is: dear hallmark007, it is of course correct that you can express your opinion, but can you explain us why you have registrated a myriad of DJI products, including Osmo Action and Action 2, but I don't see an OA3 among them?
It would be a bit like me starting to express my opinions about Ireland among people who have been there or live there, without ever having been there!
