DJI Osmo Pocket 3 vs. LUMIX S9 | The Top Choice for Creators?

[@AllThingsFilm1]

I have the OP3, and like Terry Warfield I think it's fantastic. For my uses, I mostly use the Landscape mode. For vertical, I don't consider the 3K resolution in vertical mode a "bummer". It's 3K. Before 4K hit movie theaters, you saw movies in 2K on a 30-foot screen or larger. When you consider that vertical videos are viewed on people's smartphones, 3K is actually overkill. I have the Sony FX30, so I don't have a need for an S9. But, I do consider the S9 to be a better camera than people make it out to be. Since the release of the S5ii/x and the GH7, I am considering on switching systems. I had the GH5 for my first camera, and I love LUMIX colors. Thanks for the sharing the input of all these creators.

[@connormccaskill]

Really appreciate your comment and insight! I guess I agree that the 3k resolution is not the biggest issue. But I agree with Cam that maybe they could rotate the sensor to fix that in future versions

[@AllThingsFilm1]

@@connormccaskill Yea. Being able to maintain 4K in either landscape or vertical would be preferable.

i once put a cheeseburger in my pocket and forgot it was there until the next day, wish it would have been the osmo

[@connormccaskill]

But a good pocket burger is under appreciated

I was considering the Osmo Pocket for a while but thought I’d give my Iphone 15 Pro a chance on a recent trip to South East Asia. Long story short, I don’t see a need for the Osmo at all. I got an A7Cii instead.

[@connormccaskill]

Fair enough! The I’ve heard the A7CII is awesome 👏

[@maruwaanmoses]

@@connormccaskillyeah man! I love this camera. It’s a compact A74 with ridiculous AF! Almost feels like cheating man.

[@connormccaskill]

Heck yeah bro! I really need to try it some time

[@IKcodeIgorWnek]

This is great, only con is the price of A7CII + lenses vs Osmo Pocket. Like I have ZV-E10 I and iPhone 15 Pro Max. I wonder if go for Osmo Pocket 3 for vlogging or maybe Lumix S9 or something from sony, like A7CII.

[@chronocross85]

I use both of these for weddings. For gimbal and detail room shots I use the pocket. For getting ready and some portrait shots I use the S9 and the S5II

[@connormccaskill]

They really do pair well! That’s a great use for them

[@dmac1993]

Nice man! I'm in the Sony world but I've been heavily considering the DJI Osmo Pocket 3...Definitely appreciate this video regardless! 🔥

[@connormccaskill]

Appreciate you watching! I think the Osmo pocket 3 is super worth it for quick videos!

[@YaYousef5]

This is a great video idea! Thanks for sharing it. Personally, I love my Pocket 3. The quality is good enough for social media and KZbin, and it's so easy to whip it out, take smooth shots, then throw it back into my bag. It lets me focus on my trip and enjoy the moments more compared to a taking out a heavier setup where I'll have to fiddle with settings to get the shot right. It's an amazing little video camera that makes me want to shoot more video.

[@connormccaskill]

Precisely! The OP3 is just so convenient that I always have it on me

[@TerryWarfield]

Great video bro! Thanks for including me

[@connormccaskill]

Appreciate you taking the time bro!

[@angryrabbitproductions1690]

Good video. Personally my choice is the OP3. The built in support for wireless audio, tracking, gimbal and size/weight make this a must have for convenient content creation. The S9 has quite bad rolling shutter and no mechanical shutter or hotshoe. This makes it a subpar photo camera. I feel the better option to the S9 would be the excellent S5II/x.

[@connormccaskill]

Good choice! Yeah the S9 definitely has some deal breakers for some people. But you’re right, the S52X is a stellar option

[@cammackey]

I wish I made this video. I genuinely love both of these camera. Just yesterday, I chose the pocket 3 for a creative shot out of pure laziness and it still looks great!

[@connormccaskill]

Make it bro! I’m sure people will appreciate another video on this topic

[@SpudUna]

I’m primarily a stills shooter. I’ve always been happy with the results from 1 inch sensors, and the pocket 3 doesn’t disappoint at all. I haven’t been able to get the raw files processed to my liking but the JPEGs are really great and hold up surprisingly well to heavy editing. Especially in Snapseed. The results look fantastic on my 65 inch 4K tv. No complaints here. I might even shoot video on it one day

[@video-carl]

DJI are making great modern rounded products. If they take the Pocket line to larger sensors they are likely to attract more phone upgraders than the legacy-based offerings

[@connormccaskill]

True

[@BradyBessette]

Yeah I love this, I’ve been leaning heavy on the Osmo 3 lately and love it.

[@connormccaskill]

It’s just so convenient!

[@MayanPatel1]

Pocket for convinience and not attracting attention. For vlogging win's easily. Less durable. S9 for photos and ability to change lenses to get a variety of shots as a creative tool. All depends on how you go out and shoot, for me the pocket has drastically reduced the amount I take my mirrorless camera out. I use it as a travel camera so weight counts, especially hiking/cycling.

[@connormccaskill]

Exactly

[@11.Pierre]

Lol, I literally just sold my Osmo Pocket 3 and grabbed an S9. I love the Osmo Pocket 3 but just prefer the quality from the bigger cameras. Both cameras are great though, the best feature on the Osmo is the form factor. Quality is better on the other cameras but in the right settings, they all look good. Dope video, I see all the bigger KZbinr are getting in the collar bag. Beginners can't go wrong with either, I may get another pocket 3 for Christmas haha.

[@connormccaskill]

Oh crazy! Yeah personally I think I prefer my S9, but all of these cameras are getting so good these days. How have you been enjoying your S9?

[@11.Pierre]

@@connormccaskill definitely, smaller and powerful. Yeah I think if someone is a quality quality person, then it’s like yeah let me go S9 lol. I like it, using it as a bts for my upcoming indie film but overall it’s like a mini s5ii minus the hot shoe port. I love the form factor, s9 and x100vi are my daily carries. So I essentially split the Osmo into 2 cameras 😳 but Osmo is still what I recommend to most people. Easy to use, small, quality, and just worth it all around!

[@walrusgumboot]

Nice to see some S9 love after a lot of (imo unwarranted) hate. I actually own S9 and Pocket 3 (and S5ii), and enjoy them both. I don’t take photos with the osmo, only video. It’s such a great casual video tool. But S9 is great at both photos and video and now my daily carry. For me a lot of the fun is in the app integration, I use the auto transfer and realtime LUT a lot. Nice to be shooting and have the photos waiting for me in my phone camera roll with the SOOC look that I want.

[@connormccaskill]

Yeah man, the S9 got so much hate for no reason! I just did a whole photo shoot with it and the pictures came out awesome

[@dev.morrison]

Love this! The review I was waiting for!

[@connormccaskill]

Yay! Thank you! Any other content you'd like to see on this channel?

[@markshirley01]

Connor, open gate is virtually useless for me at just 25fps as I mainly shoot in 50fps or 100fps, even if this was available in 1080 I could have used it. Plus I agree with Terry, I like to see my framing, and don't want to visualise my framing. My only issue with the S9 is the price, as Id buy one as a second camera just for the stabilisation, if they sold it at £1200 with the up coming zoom, id definitely buy one.

[@connormccaskill]

For sure. I’d imagine the S9 will go on a pretty good sale come the holidays. Probably a good time to snag it

[@juliebarnes4431]

How is the upload for the lumix? Does it let you upload right to your phone or apps ?

[@connormccaskill]

You can have the photos automatically send to your phone as you take pictures.

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

Awesome work, man!

[@connormccaskill]

Thank man!

[@DangAlvinFilms]

Set a button on my S5ii to show vertical frame overlay with one click. Definitely has been helpful when I'm filming open gate!

I used a bunch of cameras but the main two for this one was the BMP6K Pro and the Lumix S9

@@connormccaskill thank u very much for the reply

[@VlogCity]

I mean shooting 1:1 on the Osmo is pretty slick ngl

[@connormccaskill]

True! You’ve been using it for some car stuff right?

[@VlogCity]

@@connormccaskill Yea stole it from Laurence for a few days and it held up well. On social media, I don't think the slight resolution drop is noticeable

[@TopshelfJunior]

The S9 will shoot 1:1 also.. but it can never be as small as the Osmo lol. Sigh.... Why do they do this to us ?! lol. $$$$$$$$

[@maxie6990]

it would be great to have osmo action into this comparison

[@lfcruzsierra]

Lovely video! I have the S9 and the Pocket 2.....Would love to get the P3 but I already have a 15 Pro Max. Seems a bit redundant I think? But yeah I did love the stabilization in the Pocket 2.

[@connormccaskill]

How’s the pocket 2? I haven’t used it personally

[@lfcruzsierra]

​@@connormccaskill Mostly the same, just 8 bit.

[@one901]

Pocket 3 hands down. The s9 isn’t convenient and has lots of features you lose from most other cameras.

[@connormccaskill]

That’s a fair opinion. Personally I love my S9 and bring it on most shoots as a B-Cam. But the OP3 is a rad choice

[@one901]

@@connormccaskill the S9 doesn’t even have all the options from a cheap mirrorless camera. I’d more of a expensive than than anything

[@seanbrucemedia5695]

@@one901 Yet the S9 has other features that much more expensive cameras don't have. Frankly when it comes to feature set the Osmo doesn't even come close to the S9, and that's cool because it wasn't created to. Just like the S9 is totally in its own lane; a powerful tool different from the "cheap mirrorless cameras" you allude to. I own both! Maybe you should too. 🤣

[@threepe0]

One of these is 3x the cost of the other. They're also different use-cases. Next, do a rocket vs microwave comparison.

Great idea. After that I’ll compare your comment to the Declaration of Independence
