Possibly the same is true for vertical video, but no one cares because all vertical video is crap.
Variable ApertureProbably the most exciting feature in the Action 6 though is not the new sensor, but the variable aperture lens.
Yes, DJI put teeny tiny aperture blades in there to allow the lens to shoot at f/2 to f/4.
Overall though, for most people, the Osmo Action 6 is going to give you the best low light performance of any action camera currently on the market.
I would be particularly worried about high vibration environments like mounted on the handlebars of a bike, which happens to be my main use for an action camera.
