when DJI pocket 2 came out, I wanted it badly and finally, I got it creator combo. I wanna share my first experience with it.
1. it's small and cute. really pocket size.
2. stabilization is great.
3. Dynamic range is impressive.
4. 4K Video is detailed.
5. ActiveTrack works well, but it's not great.
6. Wireless Audio Works Well.

7. Autofocus is not stable.
8. I don't see any major difference between 16MP and 64MP except RAW file size, 30MB vs 120MB.
9. I understand that this is a video camera first and then a photo one, but DJI doesn't use the full potential of a big 1/1.7" image sensor. it can be a great photo camera.
10. Image quality needs improvement. a better hardware and software optimization. my iPhone 11 camera sensor is much smaller 1/2.55" and the footage has better clarity and colors.
11. HDR Video is useless. my Osmo action takes way better HDR Video. Please, DJI, improve it or remove it.
12. no 4K time-lapse (. I love time-lapse videos.
13. manual focus would have been great with focus peaking in the Mimo app, but it doesn't have it.

Totally agree with 7,8,9,10. Have learned it's important to manual focus by tapping screen. Although I'm an experienced digital photography creator with Photoshop/Lightroom, I found jpeg better quality than DNG RAW.

I agree on all points. Especially 7 to 12! It’s frustrating sometimes how random and less though through DJI develops features for the cameras. Doesn’t feel very cohesive and logical :-/

Somebody had a streak of misfortune with their Pocket 2's as they had to change it 5 or 6 times due to manufacturer defects. In their case, there was dirt inside the camera lens that prevented focusing properly. Have you investigated your camera's lens in case there is dirt or dust inside?
