DJI Phantom 4

Wednesday, March 2, 2016

The rapid development roadmap for DJI continues (see Phantom 3 camera review). Camera improvements continue abate and onboard you’ll find a 12MP stills camera with a 1/2.3-inch (8.8×6.6mm) sensor. ISO goes up to of 1600 for photos and, crucially, records Adobe DNG RAW. This is a BIG step forward for a drone camera as it allows much greater headroom in post processing. The field of view is 94° which is about equivalent to an 18mm lens on a full frame camera (which means wide and with lots of distortion).
