Jesus, you could really bring these points home by shooting a portrait pic, a landscape, a wildlife shot, etc. with your DJI pocket and then with a real camera/lens combo. Shoot both pics under the same lighting conditions. In the summer, I shoot mostly on my sailboat. A big problem there is keeping the horizon level. When I shoot with my Nikon and appropriate lenses I always have to rotate the picture to level the horizon. That is a royal pain to do with video where you need to adjust almost every frame. My GoPro has automatic horizon levelling, which 99% removes that issue. I agree 100% about what you can see in a action cam super wide angle image compared to the same image shot with a real camera or even what I can see with my mark II eyeballs. I say Mark II because even with my eyes I use appropriate lenses for the "shot". The "kit" lesses my eyeballs came with have deteriorated over the years and now give very fuzzy shots, particularly for distance work. That generally requires the use of suitable lenses by Steiner or Fujinon in addition to the custom base lenses I use. So you think some rich guy would think poorly of you if he came into your studio and saw your DJI pocket mounted on a tripod for the shots. After all, you are going to process the hell out of any shot you take and make the guy look however he wants to look after the fact no matter which camera you use.

@@todddunn945 Todd, Decades ago, I was the owner of a Silicon Valley photo studio. I became quickly aware in San José, of the pretentious and superficial nature of portraiture. As a retired photographer I don't plan on producing overtly detailed KZbin videos. That would require work! If I was given a product that was valued over $500. Maybe then I would take the time and energy to produce a detailed review. In the case of this video, I reflect on my experience and share it with my audience. I expect this video to get maybe 200 views in the next 6 months. I will make 50¢. If I spent an extra 30 hours in the project, I would maybe make $1. I understand that I am not an influencer, and have no desire to morph into one. That would require energy, desire and avarace.
