I feel like a big reason why the Action 5 Pro looks so much better in DLOG is because it drops the entire sharpening effect - it's also why the face is clearer to see compared to the background. With the regular mode sharpening the background gets too sharp and distracting.

@@TravelingAhn we are ok. Just scared and sad. So many people I know lost their homes. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so many of the places and neighborhoods that I grew up visiting throughout my whole life are now gone. The fires have burned down over 40,000 acres and 180,000 people have been made homeless. An estimated twice the size of Manhattan has burned. It’s so awful. Luckily, we escaped having to evacuate, but it got very close to us a few times, and the air had been so thick with smoke and ash we haven’t been able to go outside much at all. It will get better, and I’m very grateful we stayed safe. Praying for all those affected.

Nice comparison work, thanks for posting. In regards to your subway safety question; America will not engage in providing safety measures when there is no profit AND there is no criminal liability for which to be sued. If subway platforms were collapsing and killing people, and they were getting successfully sued for that -they'd definitely fix them. But the municipality is not liable for crazy people/ criminals doing their thing and hurting other people. It's pretty much "every man for himself" here, as we say.

That's so odd that D-Log M on the Action 5 exposes for the face but it's the opposite on the Pocket 3. Definitely digging the Black Mist. I haven't used mine in a while... Hey, do you do cardio or do you primarily do weights? I've done both all my life but now having knee issues and I'm wondering if I should just focus harder on my diet and add some lifting time in place of it.
@TravelingAhn16 күн бұрын
🤔...Interesting. Yeah, I've been lazy during the colder months regarding cardio. I do try to do cardio 1 to 2 times a week. But not much...just like 2 miles of running or playing basketball. Knee issue is a bummer. But, definitely should continue strength training to keep your lower body in good shape to handle things as we get older. Of course, we are not trying to look like professional body builders 😂. But new studies really support strength training for us as we get older to prevent falls and have more physical independence as we age.

Why are you shooting at 1/120 shutter speed? The rule of thumb is to set your shutter speed at double the frame rate, which would be at 1/60 second. This will improve the light gathering capability of the sensor. Between using a gimbal and an incorrect shutter speed, the comparison is useless. By using 1/60 shutter speed, the ISO will drop in half, giving a better dynamic range to the sensor and providing a much better image. This rule was set in stone 100 years ago and is used in cinema movie production around the world.
@TravelingAhn17 күн бұрын
Hello Dennis, that is a fair question for sure! I appreciate your insights and thought on this. I have posted videos with the DJI Action camera's without using a gimbal and following the double frame rate method in the past. I chose not to do it in this video because the results were so bad in the evening. Yes, I agree the dynamic range improves which I why I elected to do the double frame rate with the Gimbal. But rest assured, I have shown examples in the past.

To me, based on this comparisons, On the Normal Color Profile, they show their difference in use-case. The action 5 pro exposes the background first/better, which is should since it is an action cam, while the pocket 3 exposes the face first/better since it is a vlogging camera. If a user will just be using the cameras, on normal color profile then pick the action cam for action, the pocket for vlogging. When it comes to DLOG M, I think both cameras adjust the footage to priorities both foreground and background equally hence a bit more exposure on the face on the action 5 and a bit more exposure on the background on the pocket 3. This, I thinks is due to the logic that the user will make a custom color grade on the footage and for the flexibility it makes. Having said tho, in the normal color profile, the lowlight footage on the action 5 even if it is on 6400 iso lacks compared to the pocket 3 on 3200 iso as seen in 3:54. But in the dlog m, action 5 is better in exposing the face compared to the pocket 3. It might be the reason why there is no d-log m on the low-light mode in the Pocket 3. It can't process the dlog-m footage and expose to the face at the same time. One question tho. Would there be any differences if the ISO for both cameras are locked at a certain value of ISO instead of it being variable? It makes it a bit more fairer since both are having the same in all the settings and the main differences would be the sensor size and software. Thanks for these great comparisons!

@TravelingAhn17 күн бұрын
Yes, making a video on the editing process is something I've contemplated. Sorry, but I don't use Premiere Pro. I use FCP. For the most part, I generally like to record in D-Log M. However, if you simply vlogging to capture vacation memories with the Pocket 3, I would make it as easy as possible so I would record in "Normal Color Profile" since it exposes the face better. But if you are using the Action 4 or 5, record solely in D-Log M. That's my two cents worth of advice! Hope that helps!
