There are plenty of great action cameras released every year. We've seen seriously innovative designs from Insta360, DJI continues to push the boundaries of low-light performance, and GoPro pushes the boat out with image quality. However, even with all that going on, the camera that stays planted in my kit bag is the DJI Action 2, released back in 2021.
I recently pulled the Action 2 out on a press trip, and since I was surrounded by tech enthusiasts, I expected questions like "why are you still using that thing?", but that's not what happened. Instead, I got comments like "what is that? It looks so cool", and "wow, I forgot how small the Action 2 was."
