DJI Pocket 3 vs Sony ZV-E10 | APSC vs 1 Inch Sensor | No Difference at all ?

Good day , my friends!
Today we are going to test out the DJI Pocket 3 and Sony ZV-E10 in a lowlight condition !
Of course, I have to equip my ZV-E10 with a lowlight lens to see the absolute potential of my ZV-E10 !
All the while, I believe a F1.4 Fast Lenses will definately blows the DJI pocket 3 out of the challenge.
But, this test did prove me otherwise..
Please checkout the result guys...
Guess we have to embrace the technology, where even 1-Inch sensor is really really.. performing surprisingly good.

Thanks for all the kind comments ❤ 🔥 I made this video purely to see the best performance that I can get from both camera. I cant reply to everyone as I have gotten busy with quite a few commercial projects recently. Anyway both cameras are awesome ✨🎉

[@Chaelaz]

The benefit of the P3 is just the ease of use and all-in-one form factor. Many folks can benefit from that for very little cost. The other cameras like a ZV-E10 will always allow the most flexibility and in almost all situations give you better quality and specs, but with more cost and time (again, in general). All that said, content is still king and if a story, scene, action, or person is compelling enough, an old camcorder will do the trick.

[@shadowboxer2747]

Agree.. content is king!!

[@hypericron]

Best comparison that I've seen on KZbin. Good job!

[@ZRILIFY]

Hey Koji I just want to say I literally love your videos and the amount of effort you put in is really inspiring

[@kojivisuals]

Hi there, I really appreciate your comments, it motivates me a lot to keep making video ! Thanks alot. Editing a video really is something that I enjoy !

[@Jazzmarcel]

excellent review! i have just gotten a pocket 3 but i also have a a7siii and fx3 and its nice to see this thing be able to at least come this close to the low light kings!

[@travelcard1]

Definitly the best reviw on KZbin !!!

[@NinoJosol]

great work! thanks for the very informative comparison.

[@kostasmavroudis_official]

In my country (Greece) the zv-e10 combo you are using is exact double the price from Dji, while the standard zv-e10 with the stock lens cost exact the same money with Dji ( 699 euro for zv-e10 and Dji creator combo and 1525 euro for the zv-e10, the Viltrox 13mm and M3 gimbal combo). So, for 699 i think the Dji creator combo is a much better choice than the old zv'e10 with the stock lens specially if your budget is quiet tight. Plus is way more pocketable than Sony's combo. Comparing the footage from the excellent video you created and the prices, the Dji is a clear winner !!

[@RWAquariumPages]

great comparisons and great edits on the video and photos. love this! I'm about to pull the trigger on the DJI O3, but although bokeh isn't everything, i do notice the more shallow dof on the sony camera. with your story telling and editing skills, i think if you used anything even a phone it'll come out great!

[@HouseAndLotFinderph]

best comparison on yt , u covered all of it clearly .

[@CalmingAnxiety]

Thats a really cool and well produced video. I have the ZV1 but also ordered the Pocket 3 today. Thank you

One of the best camera comparison videos I've ever seen. Great job. Convinced me to buy the Pocket 3 (although not necessarily your goal).

[@AmaiwanTraveler]

Fantastic comparison between the DJI Pocket 3 and Sony ZV-E10! 🌟 It's impressive to see how well both cameras perform in lowlight conditions. Your test really highlighted the potential of a 1-inch sensor. Keep up the great work; can't wait for more insightful reviews like this! 👍

[@iamleek]

Well Done. Nice to see KL. Thank you.

Amazing .. and color grading 💯

[@danquixote6072]

Good to see these a comparison of these two - exactly the choice I am looking into. Really nice video as well demonstrating that 8-bit can be made to look good, that the 13mm Viltrox looks like a great a lense to have with the ZV-10. Music, text colors, choice of fonts, use of slow motion etc, was spot on. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@Landessender]

Very good Video, thank you so much ! 👍👍👍

[@kensraivlog8039]

[@kojivisuals]

Glad you liked it!

[@soothingsoundvideos]

My main camera is the ZV-E10 and I've been wanting to buy the Pocket 3, so this video satisfied my curiosity. Thanks for the comparison.

[@browser37]

So did you buy it?

[@ahsyima1649]

I like watching your content and I have subscribed

[@johnnyeatsnyc]

I don’t think this is a fair comparison due to the fact that you’re using a lens at 1.4 whereas the pocket 3 is fixed at 2.0 as far as low light performance though, imo they’re both incredible but overall pocket 3 for me is the winner. The difference is marginal and the pocket 3’s clear advantage here is the compactness of it, the built in gimbal and some cool features most mirrorless cameras don’t have. At the end of the day it’ll depend on the creator’s preference. Great video nonetheless 🙌🏼

[@DigiDriftZone]

That is the question though isn't it, the Pocket 3 is 13mm f/4 APS-C equivalent in both light gathering and depth of field, so the question is how often would you choose to use 13mm f/4 on the zv-e10? --- I personally love the 13mm (20mm full frame equivalent), but f/4 does leave me wanting in certain situations.

[@shadowboxer2747]

Great comparison between the two. Personally i would go for dji pocket 3 for its portability.. more discreet for vlogging outside and the overall quality of the images/footages

[@nikkipvlogs]

Good job 🤟🏾

[@Max-mh5yo]

The Sony needs a Gimbal and a Lens, while the pocket is much smaller, lighter, cheaper. Also its a much better feeling to walk around with such a small device. People wont pay much attention to such a small camera. The DJI 3 is very impressive.

[@kojivisuals]

Indeed, everyone will love the dji pocket 3

[@mirekbrdek4350]

EXCELLENT VIDEO TEST, BRAVO!!! Viltrox 14mm f 1.4 it is AMAZING

[@Scrollsojna]

Nice cinematic shots bro✅✅✅

[@kojivisuals]

Thank you bro ！🔥

[@GadgetInspector]

What lens are you using?

[@Ambiencein]

"This is awesome! Can't stop watching!"

[@melodytalks3432]

I don't pull the body out of the case but pulling the case apart so the body pop out, an important tip for owners preventing monitor damage! DJI POCKET 3 has elevated itself to such position that it beats DSLR/Mirrorless cameras in many key areas considering price point. Imagine if, the next generation of the Dji pocket 3 makes improvements in focal length ( addition of 85mm, 35mm as an attachment) backed by bigger sensor with better dynamic range, then the game is over for big camera industries like Canon, Sony, Nikon etc, as the form factor alone is so awesome & practical.

[@Ntthaibk]

that’s what phone trying to do but got limited by not having gimbal and 1 inch sensor like the pocket 3, I will go for the pocket all day to vlogging for my trips

[@sukirwanwong]

ONE WORD for DJI POCKET 3. PERFECT

[@adz-ql6kv]

after color grading they're almost the same. you don't need an expensive lens and a gimbal on the PO3. the Sony takes the edge only ever so slightly for picture quality but you still need a good gimbal for stability. this for cost performance and portability the DJI Pocket 3 is clearly superior.

[@worldoftony469]

This is a great comparison. The pocket will win here for me as it is way more portable. I have a ZVE1 no gimbal and a 20 mm 1.8 for everything else no gimbal.

[@DigiDriftZone]

The portability is incredible, but with that combo you're effectively getting a 20mm f/5.4 and a 20mm f/1.8, do you need both? :) - I do find the f/5.4 equiv in light gathering and depth of field somewhat limiting on the pocket3 despite loving the form factor.

[@noahlapuz3853]

awesome content

[@abhi_doings]

Good one ❤

[@lenb90]

Excellent comparison. What tripod the man who accompanies you uses seems to be excellent to use with an apsc camera. Thank you 👍

[@kojivisuals]

hey, it is the dji action 4 combo set - Selfie stick. It is portable and sturdy 👍👍

[@Life_of_John]

What's mr wee using on end of his zve10? Tripod handle thing. Thx

Dude you are the king of camera comparisons! Perfectly executed.

[@kojivisuals]

Woww! Thanks, appreciate that ! Still, I have a long way to go

[@eduardoaryanna]

Thank you for doing this it saved me money since I was almost acting crazy wanting to buy a Sony ZV-E10 while I have a DJI Pocket 3 hehe 😅 I'm going camera crazy going to wait 2 years before buying a new camera since i got also A Sony Camcorder 4k for diferent zoom shots what I was missing on a Pocket 3

[@captainhow_]

can u do a profile picture comparisons for the zve10 and their use cases and your most favourite picture profile

[@shawnfoodfever]

thanks for great sharing 😍😍

[@kojivisuals]

Thanks hohoskitchen 👍

[@ZionistSial]

Which do u think better, ZV1F or P3 because the price quite similar

[@aec_corp]

ZV-E10 way better, but dji pocket 3 has excellent video in small size factor. If I had to choose, it will be dji pocket 3, because it is small and simple to use

[@hvaranhvaran]

I see some moments where ZV-E10 proves it's benefits. Especially some details on close background. Overall I think pocket 3 is able to shine here because it's a good camera and most importantly because of the user. You really know how to handle grading and how to shoot! Thank you for sharing!

[@kojivisuals]

Thanks again for the feedbacks! Yeah, i dont mind taking pocket 3 only for my travel to Japan in 2024

[@OwaisAhmedcooldude]

Can you make a video on how to use the cinema profile and luts on Sony ev-10?

[@BrettCarstens]

Thanks for doing this comparison. Funny that I could see that the Sony gave the superior footage. But with the blind test, I liked the Pocket.

[@JasonDevadason]

Thanks for this video. Answered a lot of my questions. If you had to choose between Sigma 16mm f1.4 and Viltrox 13mm f1.4, which would you go for?

[@kojivisuals]

Hi Jason, thanks. I made this video because I was very curious too. I will still pick the Viltrox 13mm, because it is wider and easier to shoot landscape, vlog. I also bought it to use the active stabilisation in zve10 which has x1.4 crop.

[@JasonDevadason]

@@kojivisuals Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you for the reply. 😊

[@DigiDriftZone]

The Viltrox 13mm is my favourite lens period, I loved it so much on APS-C I bought the Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 (10mm f/1.2 APS-C equivalent) for my full frame. The "red" label lenses from Viltrox are just magical.

[@DigiDriftZone]

Pocket3 is 13mm f/4 APS-C equivalent. The main question is how often would you choose to film talking head and other type of content on your ZV-E10 at 13mm f/4? :) That's a bit of a double edged sword on the Pocket3 (and other small cameras like the iPhone), sometimes you want f/10 for landscapes or to get nice sunstars or for macro. Sometimes you want to open up that aperture to get better object/subject separation and low light. But with Osmo you're stuck at f/4 forever, so you're not just limited on the focal length, but on the aperture too. This is actually why I personally went to the ZV-E1 from APS-C previously, the f/2.8 zooms on APS-C are huge and heavy and in terms of light gathering and shallow depth of field, the f/4 zooms on full frame beat them while being smaller, lighter and cheaper.

[@ashishnishchal]

Which monopod are you using?

[@Njahan9]

Omg! Still I'm confused which one I should buy. Both are on my list and I have to pick one.

[@PradeepKumar-tq4ev]

Which one u picked and for what purpose u r using

What is the name of the *selfie stick* at 2:27 please?! Thank you!

[@andredavidtv]

What type of tripod is the small one? Mr Wee use

[@mcadder]

The Bokeh looks more pleasing and proffesional on the Pocket. Unbelivable!!

[@felotanjili]

Good comparison. What lens on sony zv e10 you used?

[@kojivisuals]

viltrox 13mm 😁😁

[@shawnpreston1639]

Hey, Koji! I just subscribed, and I have a question: I saw another vlogger suggest 10-18mm lens but you have the 13. Are you familiar with the 10-18mm lens? Which one would you suggest? (I’m new at this. I’ll be vlogging more than picture taking). Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!

[@kojivisuals]

Hi shawn ! Thanks for the subs. I must ask whether if you care abt the size. The 13mm is 420g which is heavy and stands out a little bit more. We can vlog with it, but not as enjoyable as a small lens like sony 11mm. For 10-18mm F2.8, is really good, it is versatile for zooming in/out. I do suggest picking a wider and small lens if you mainly use it for vlogs

[@shawnpreston1639]

@@kojivisuals Thanks for the reply! And, I do care about the size since I’ll be backpacking across the world 🌎. So, the lighter the better. Right now, I only have the lens that came with the camera. I have to extend my reach because it’s too close. I want something wider. Since lens are super expensive, I want a good starter lens that’s good for both vlogging and picture taking, for right now, until I buy more lenses. So, would the Sony 11mm fit for what I want?

[@cliffordgoh4278]

ZVE10 for proper work. Pocket 3 for the fun it gives capturing what you need from semi-pro to casual stuff.

[@biggooseadventures]

Nice video, DJI looks better to me.

[@yamahaevo]

2:43 what iso did you have on both cameras? And aperture on zv? It would be better if you use a aperture on zv what is equal to the dji so it gets less easy to guess.

[@kojivisuals]

ZV-E10 is on F1.4. DJI is always fixed at F2.0; Both are at its lowest f-stop to produce optimal low light image quality. For info, DJI doesn’t show its ISO, u can only have it set as a range 50-3,200 / 50-6,400; Hope this answer ur question.

[@yamahaevo]

@kojivisuals Thanks, is there no way to fins out in exif info? Would be interesting to se if dji had much higher iso therefore the loss of details. Did you have it set to 3200 6400 at max?

[@AnthonyGangmei]

Sony seems more warmer and cinematic vibe without any color grading.

[@CC.cinematics]

Please help a brother out..which luts are you using..can I download it from somewhere

[@Lizestechreviews]

As a person who wants to film in the gym I need the track mode and I need the small discreetness. Otherwise I would just get a mirrorless camera.

[@DestinationUnknown4x4]

I'm not sold on the pocket 3. I still think the sony looks way better/natural. I have the DJI action 4 and will continue to use that for a small camera if needed.

[@angryrabbitproductions1690]

Good video. Unless you are just documenting and IQ is unimportant, you should manually set the ISO to the native ISO for the best IQ. That goes for all cameras… Pocket 3 included. Do that and you’ll see there’s nothing between these two cameras. Also, turn off the in camera noise reduction… it just makes the footage mushy… and the in camera sharpening. Both should be set to -2. The real difference will be 8-bit vs 10-bit and size/weight. I tried to love the idea of traveling everywhere with a small gimbal and dedicated camera… but that didn’t work out too well. Ymmv. Anywho, enjoy!

[@kojivisuals]

Yes sir! Thanks for the insight! I didnt set ISO at the minimum for ZV-E10, only for photos. And yes, the pocket 3 tested in this video is set to -2 for both sharpening and noise reduction. No doubt pocket 3 value is insane!

[@RieezK]

Zve10 mark 2 will come out?

[@Mr_Optimist_UZ]

Thanks. Good luck Koji

[@kojivisuals]

Mr Optimist, thankyou, wish u all the best

[@CrimsonCrystalRoses]

Sony ZV-E10 is sharper and has a great depth of field that the OSMO lacks. The footage from OSMO appears brighter because it elevates the shadows. However, to achieve this, it must apply a noise reduction filter, which consequently softens the details.

[@marcoblondus3204]

osmo p3 got a 1" sensor size while the sony is apsc.

[@wesleykawakami8563]

DJi and Insta 360 definitely have cool products. But my last insta 360 camera lasted only 2 years and my Sony action cam is still going after 6 years so if longevity is a concern, get the Sony, they have a proven track record.

[@queerfusion]

the P3 does a great job...👍

[@marcterryjadal6520]

Nice 😍👍

[@ricarmig]

The Sony setup produces much better results but…it costs twice as much! The pocket 3 is simply the best solution for “pro amateur” users; the Sony for semi professionals that need detail even on already rather high ISO. One inch is still small for videography, what DJI did with the sensor is already fantastic but it can’t compete in a much bigger and expensive league.

[@captainhow_]

Do u use any luts ?

[@RealLagu]

I think it would be great if you tested them in really low light, out of the city. That would really challenge the cameras. City lighting is so bright these days I'm not even sure if it can be called low light.

[@ehawnowe-ws1mi]

But people really dont go out and take a video no light situation

[@OutdoorFlame-io6cr]

Which lense on zve10 in this video

[@wayneslink]

more videos like these

[@dougmorato]

Difference is clear. ZV-E10 is much better in terms of image quality. It looks much more cinematic with the 1.4 aperture. However, when it comes to slow motion ZV-E10 suffer a lot.

[@KhmaiMedia]

dji Pocket 3 W for small a portable which is why i got one too lol i do have Panasonic s5IIX for professional work but i'd take the DJP3 for BTS or short Reels.

[@Gabriele_Bacci]

DJI for me… nice quality e incredible portability 🎉

[@frenchfries8745]

APSC still has the edge but at a cost the camera and 1.4 lens is much more expensive

[@roughmzin2510]

At minute 8:11, I thought the subject can be made focused, while the background is bokeh? Or it can’t be done under low-light setting?

[@stanjs]

The durability of the gimbal mechanism needs to be tested. What's the point of buying DJI Pocket 3 if the gimbal fails and the camera cannot be oriented properly?

[@hashirakram4169]

both cameras are very good

[@iron_recluse]

You know what’s odd…. When watching this in 720p most if not all the DJI videos look slightly sharpened and have digital artifacts sort of… but when watching in 2k or 4k they go away and a lot of videos actually look better than the ZV.

[@cymbol73]

Really well done comparison. Nice job. I don't like the higher brightness of thr DJI, but it looks like just bringing the EV down just s bit corrects this (to my eyes). Thanks for the thorough breakdown. 🤗

[@ariruishalme4403]

Both are very good. But Sony is better.. this is why I go with iPhone 15 pro .. it's always with me.. and I use it as my secondary camera with my a7iii 🥳 log profile on iPhone 15 is super good for a phone

[@prostoKosmos647]

the most important that what kind of lens he uses on Sony. Probably it’s Sigma 16mm f1.4 and only this lens cost 500$ almost like DJI P3.

[@stanjs]

Majority of influencers only tested the camera. But DJI pocket 3's gimbal is integrated, so the camera cannot function independently of the gimbal. Which means, the gimbal must be tested to their limits by reviewers to ascertain the conditions for failure. Otherwise the review is incomplete.

[@Moonir6907]

Dji pocket looks good i love the price..
