Some reviewers are claiming some minor issues of screen lag and condensation as 'fail' or a reason to return the camera, but lets take a serious look at whether these issues to assess whether or not they're relevant, or even valid.

Not really bothered about those two minor problems, loving mine and although I really like dji products simply because they are very innovative.
But looking at you tube reviews, I can’t help thinking that the reviewer is either getting paid by GoPro or being issued free products, but it’s becoming very obvious, it’s time you tube banned those not revealing they are paid or getting free product, before they start any reviews.

Before I watched the video I thought about my two protracted walks/hikes with the Action and the only time I turned the screen back on was when I was trying to make sure that the waterfall and/or summit peaks were in view.  Otherwise, the screen timeout controlled and there was no lag since there was no picture.

But I guess if you were hand holding and tracking another skier or mt biker, you might want to visually track.

Funny cos I just had the same experience with the GoPro Hero 7 Black.  Now using the OSMO Action it's a vastly superior product in many ways.

What were the biggest glitches you had if you don't mind me asking?

For me the Lag hasn't been an issue at all, never noticed it to be fair... what is an issue is the lens fogging (not the screen) with an UW case and 3(!) anti-fog inserts. Still curious to see what is DJI going to do for heat dissipation when launching their own case...

All of this can be fixed by software updates.  I'm hopeful.
