In the last generation, DJI surpassed GoPro with what was to my mind – and many others – the best action camera. DJI not only won with a bigger image sensor (great in low light), but because their rival actually dropped a popular unique feature, GPS, enraging fans. The backlash was nothing short of humiliating for GoPro, the brand that created the product category.
Like the leading phone brands, however, there is a yearly product cycle and – while (like Apple and its new iPhones) you can't necessarily replace all the parts at once, both DJI and GoPro have had very good go at showing what they think is most important – or what they can achieve – in the action camera space with this new generation.
