- GoPro vs DJI vs Insta360 in 2026: which action camera should I actually buy?
DJI if you're diving rather than snorkelling, want to shoot all day without a charger, or want the lightest thing. The Action 6 is 20m without a case, 240 min battery, 149g, and it has a variable…
Post #5, in Video - GoPro vs DJI vs Insta360 in 2026: which action camera should I actually buy?
For what you describe I'd get the Insta360 Ace Pro 2. It's the cheapest of the three current flagships at $369.99 and it ticks most of your list, the flip screen alone is worth it for the talking to…
Post #2, in Video - Camera for my son for Christmas, wait for Black Friday or buy now?
This. Black Friday here is heaps of noise and the only real saving I've ever had was cashback on a lens. Also seconding the a6400, my 6700 is the grown up version of it and a teenager will wreck the…

Post #18, in Buying Advice - Panasonic 'exit' rumours again. Is MFT dying or just shrinking?
reckon the people who say mft is dead have never carried a full frame 600 up a hill. i did that once with my mates kit in the Grampians, never again, my shoulder still hasnt forgiven me. APS-C is…
Post #8, in Panasonic/OM - Should I sell my X-T30 II and go full frame before I get any deeper into Fuji?
charts, mostly. if you're shooting raw and exposing properly you'll struggle to pick an APS-C landscape from a full frame one at normal print sizes. APS-C is all most people will ever need, and that…
