DJI has announced a next-generation action camera that supports 4K 120fps shooting, a wide 155-degree field of view, and improved low-light performance. The model will compete with the previously released GoPro 11.

The action camera received a new matrix relative to the previous generation model. The CMOS sensor in the Osmo Action 4 has a 1/1.3 inch optical format with a pixel size of 2.4 µm. Potentially, this should give an increase in the quality of shooting in low light conditions.
