GoPro13 vs DJI Osmo 5

[DivingKDawg]

Anyone using GoPro13 or DJI Osmo 5? I need a new action camera and the DJI seems pretty good. Wondering if anyone has had experience diving with this camera or had comparison thoughts.

I've had the previous 6 or so generations of GoPro's, but skipped the 13 because it seemed like such a miniscule improvement. Got a DJI 5 to see if it was worth switching over, and have been very pleased with it. I'm not a videophile, but I think the differences in image quality are negligible, even according to most professionals. Plus the DJI has some distinct advantages - the battery life is waay better, the camera is a little smaller, it has waay better low light images, it is waterproof to 66 ft (twice the GoPro), it includes a depth/elevation sensor, and you can easily overlay data from the camera or a sports watch .fit file onto videos (such as depth/elevation from the DJI, or heart rate/depth/pace/etc from a Garmin watch. See example below).
