The best compact camera on the market so far, with true physical stabilisation, a 1-inch sensor and shooting in 4K 60p HLG HDR. The colors are good, I don't even need the D-log. For darker scenes, there's a low light mode limited to 4K 30p SDR. DJI also offers a set of ND filters so you can reduce the shutter speed for example to capture different displays or better motion blur, unfortunately Alza doesn't offer these. For vlogging both yourself and your surroundings this is a great choice, I recommend it.
Small, handheld camera with a large sensor and excellent image quality
True three-axis image stabilization, no need for electronic cropping and associated artifacts, better than a cell phone and a dedicated gimbal for it
The rotating display has excellent brightness up to 700 nits, finally someone offers it!
4K 60p HLG HDR, i.e. wide gamut and high dynamic range in 10 bits
Youtube compatible, you get HDR video
You can add a small battery grip that can also charge from a powebank
DJI Mic 2 Wireless Microphone
Slightly more normal angle of view than super wide-angle action cameras
Built-in 9-frame panorama option that can nicely stitch an image together
To activate the camera you need a DJI account, their web app and an online connection, however you can use an old phone to do this and then uninstall it
Gimbal only rotates in a limited range, don't expect 360 degree effects

Overheating can be a piece-meal problem, but it's reported by many others - like on YT: https://youtu. be/7td0pWbJC2U? list=PL6It_5mtV4YBNNcsV9R_akImdHpzVrLNf&t=370 (of course, the paid influencers won't bat an eyelid about it; but the independents dare). It overheats in my normal room 20-23oC, on the tripod. I can't imagine using it in the summer, in the sun, in 30+oC temperatures. So while I'm functionally excited, it's ultimately a useless toy (at least this piece). I contacted DJI support and prepared a quick video demonstrating the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=B_z-Z5p2LWU They wrote something to the effect that at temperatures up to 25oC the 4kP120 should record for at least 20 minutes before it overheats! Which means that in higher temperatures it will be practically unusable (imagine going to Africa, it will be 40+oC). I mean, even DJI support admits quite openly that they know about overheating!
Perfect video quality for the size and weight
D-Log M is really 10-bit and can be dyed
Active Tracking really works, what's great is the automatic tracking of the nearest face - for vloggers it's a dream
Dynamic active tracking on 1 of 9 points is also perfect
Awesome sound straight from the device
Even better sound from the included DJI Mic II wireless microphone
Intuitive control and setup
The display is already big enough to work with
Turning on the display is a super feature, it loads very quickly
Stabilizes in low light, unlike action cameras
Subjectively, I would say it stabilizes better than the DJI Action 4 (but I tested max running up stairs)
Unlike action cameras, it does not distort the image (fisheye)
It overheats (my piece, but a lot of people report it on the internet), after a while of recording the recording turns off and must be allowed to cool down, min an hour (otherwise it turns off again after 1-2 minutes)
4kP60 D-Log M: Only lasts about 13 minutes
4kP30 Normal: Only lasts about 20 minutes
1080P30 Normal: It lasted about 80 minutes (which would be OK, BUT! ), then it will burn; it was impossible to keep my hand on it and some plastic must have got stuck inside
Cannot be paired with the excellent DJI Mic (only with the included DJI Mic II)
DJI Mic II is only one included
There is a flashlight in the grip, but it's very weak, it's poor for the size of the grip
Night mode is better than on action cameras (I have a DJI Action 4), but it's still not great
Photos suck, tiny chip resolution - I think about 9MPx - ALZA HAS 64MPX IN THE DESCRIPTION, WHICH IS BAD (price for night mode, but definitely worth it), only good for timelapses to JPEG (you'll have a bit more resolution for cut-in)
Lots of minor limitations/inconsistencies in different modes, for example hyperlaps doesn't go into D-Log M for me (which will mean more work in color matching)
Occasionally hunting for a place to focus (but mostly OK)
Gimbal is limited for some reason, it doesn't rotate horizontally a full 360 degrees, so if you put it on a tripod, let it trek and walk around, it won't follow you in all directions
