  •  Info The Mavic Mini 4 Pro produces 48MP photos from a very tiny 1/1.3-inch sensor. You can not expect the pictures from this sensor to have the same sharpness and detail as a Full frame sensor. A picture should not be judged harder only because it has more MP in my opinion. Anyway I have uploaded a new version that demonstrates my point, you will see that with 50% size it doesn't look "overprocessed" anymore. That is the only way to have pictures with this sharpness with the Mavic Mini 4 Pro. What do you think of the new version Sebring12Hrs and Harlock81? -- Giles Laurent (talk) 15:23, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Comment Reducing the resolution is not the solution, it's like sweeping the dust under the rug to hide. And if the problem comes from the camera, well that's it. Jacek Halicki's photos (he has a drone of the same brand but not the same model as his), make superb photos, why and how, I don't know, but the result has nothing to do with it. There we see throughout the photo that there is a problem, the textures are not at all natural, the trees, the stones, the water, the buildings, this is even more visible in the background. It looks like a kind of digital painting that has nothing to do with a photo, sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sebring12Hrs (talk • contribs)
Jacek Halicki's photos are taken with the DJI Air which has a much lower resolution than the Mavic Mini 4 Pro because it only has 12MP instead of 48MP. And a 12MP photo will always look sharper than a 48MP photo. This exactly demonstrates what I have said above. Also if you look for example at this image from Jacek you will see no higher sharpness than the the present image. So the present candidate is way above the QI bar in my opinion. -- Giles Laurent 15:55, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for the explantion and the examples. However, I put it in a different way. If I take a picture with the camera of my phone, is it judged considering the camera capacity or evaluating the overall result? Of course, there is not a unique answer. In the best case, I think both. In this case, I understand that we are discussing about a limit of the instrumentation. Yet, it is difficult to say that the result is really good at the highest resolution. I would like to hear other opinions, and I might change also mine later. --Harlock81 16:15, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
@Harlock81 the reason I mentioned the material is because the DJI Mavic 4 Pro produces 48MP and the DJI Air produces 12MP photos. 12MP photos will always look much sharper than 48MP photos and therefore in my opinion a 48MP photo should not be judged harder than the 12MP version of it. Also, could you please check the updated version of the file? (Press CTRL+F5 on PC or Command+Shift+R on Mac with file open to refresh cache and view the new version) Thank you in advance. -- Giles Laurent 17:17, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
@Giles Laurent: I did, and I find the new version better than the other. However, after reading your point of you, I'm asking myself if the downscaling is really necessary. As said, I would like to hear other opinions. --Harlock81 (talk) 21:35, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
@Harlock81 if you think the image is now better do you still oppose (have you forgotten to update your previous votes to strike them?) ? If you don't oppose anymore, I would appreciate if you could update your votes, thank you in advance! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 23:21, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
I disagree, some 50 Mpx cameras take better pictures than DJI Mavic. --Sebring12Hrs 17:52, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
Sebring12Hrs, I already explained that Full frame cameras can't be compared to tiny 1/1.3-inch sensor. Please try to link any 50mp drone picture made with a 1/1.3-inch sensor with higher detail and you will see it doesn't exist. -- Giles Laurent 18:30, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
 Comment If your equipment cannot take quality photos, that is not a reason to give it a pass, meaning that you should be less strict with the photos coming from your drone compared to 45 Mpx devices which take good ones. Sorry, but your arguments don't suit me at all. And again sorry, at worst others will give their opinion. --Sebring12Hrs 20:03, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
You don't seem to understand that it is not a question of equipment that I have or don't have but a question of physics in the realm of what is possible today with today's technology. The bigger the sensor in a camera, the more information it is able to record. If you have one 1/1.3-inch sensor that does 12 MP and a second 1/1.3-inch sensor that does 48 MP, the 12 MP photo taken in the 1/1.3-inch sensor will always look sharper than the 48 MP one. A 1/1.3-inch sensor is much smaller than a Full frame sensor and will always record less information than a full frame sensor.
You have talked about Jacek Halicki's drone photos. He uses a drone that does 12 MP photos, this means the 12 MP photo will look sharper than a 48 MP photo out of another drone with same sensor size than his drone.
If you compare this present candidate in the new updated 12 MP version (Press CTRL+F5 on PC or Command+Shift+R on Mac with file open to refresh cache and view the new version) you will find it sharper and more detailed than the 12 MP shots from Jacek that you take for reference for QI bar of drone shot.
In summary, the old version of the present candidate was already of QI level to me and with the new version of the present candidate it is even way more above QI level in my opinion -- Giles Laurent 20:24, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
Click here for a side by side comparison -- Giles Laurent 21:02, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Per others. After rereading everything, I think the photo is useful for Wikimedia Commons, but that the instrument used is not suitable for QI. I insist that perspective correction is needed.--Lmbuga 21:29, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
@Lmbuga so according to you all shots from a Mavic Mini 4 Pro can't be QI just because the drone records the image in 48MP instead of 12MP? There is a setting in the drone to record the image directly in 12 MP instead of 48 MP, I don't see why this couldn't be used or why it wouldn't be possible to reduce the picture size to match the 12 MP of drones that only have the 12 MP option. Regarding the perspective correction I don't think that's needed for a drone shot, this is normal perspective -- Giles Laurent 22:31, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Info @Harlock81, Lmbuga and Sebring12Hrs, I was mistaken and Jacek's drone is the DJI Air 3S (FC9113 camera is the DJI Air 3S wide-angle camera). The DJI Air 3S wide angle camera native resolution is 8192 x 6144 (50 MP) but Jacek's uploads are approximately 4000 pixels wide or less, which means they were all reduced in size by 50%. This once again completely demonstrates what I was saying. The only way to have a sharp shot with any 50MP drone is by downsizing it. So can you please explain why you think Jacek's reduced size shots are acceptable but not the present candidates? Should honesty be discouraged and candidates that admit reducing image size be disadvantaged over those who don’t say anything so that no one sees it? Please look this side by side comparison. To me the present candidate is clearly of QI and I don't see why one user would be allowed to reduce the size of his drone shots to 12 MP and not other ones. To be clear, I'm not saying Jacek's drone photos shouldn't be QI, they rightfully are. I'm saying that the present candidate should also be QI and should also be allowed to be in 50% since other users do that too -- Giles Laurent (talk) 23:00, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The picture is now reduced to 12 MP, but still the overall quality isn't very good - lots of NR artifacts, lack of detail, overprocessed textures. It's under the QI bar for me - "but the camera can't do better" is not a valid argument IMO. Related, the Mavic Mini 4 Pro has a gimbal, so was it really necessary to take the picture at 1/3200s and ISO 150? Lower ISO would have produced a better result despite the small sensor. --Plozessor 03:55, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
@Plozessor, I don't see where you see "lack of detail" because I see all individual leafs of the closest trees from the left and right side. ISO 100 or ISO 150 have barely no difference at all and yes 1/3200s was necessary because a slower shutter speed would have resulted in blown highlights. -- Giles Laurent 08:24, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
  • The "Lack of detail" can be debated - it's probably ok for that type of camera, though on other pictures of that same bridge, the structure and the individual bricks are much more visible. Still it's somehow overprocessed/overcontrasted (visible at the leaves and also at the water edges) and there's the tilt of course. But ... why do you think that with ISO 100 and 1/2000s the highlights would blow and with ISO 150 and 1/3200s they would not? --Plozessor 15:38, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
@Plozessor I'm sorry but you can not compare a photo taken from 10m distance to a photo taken at 150 m distance. Also you can not compare visibility of tiles for a picture taken with the sun high which casts shadows between tiles to a picture taken at golden hour in winter with a much lower sun illuminating the holes between the tiles. The monument in this photo has more than enough detail considering the distance of the subject and lighting situation and is well above QI bar. I don't see oversharpening on the leafs and if that is the only issue that can easily be softened. Mathematically if exposure is perfect at ISO 150 and shutter speed 1/3200, you could use a shutter speed as slow as 1/2133.33 and anything lower would be inevitably cause overexposure so 1/2000s in this situation in combination with ISO 100 would overexpose because cameras don't have a 1/2133.33 setting. So it would be a setting of 1/2500s to go for a ISO 100. However as I have already explained, there is barely no difference at all between ISO 150 1/3200s and ISO 100 1/2500s so that would make no visual difference. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 19:34, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
@Giles Laurent Saw your new version and I'm still not too happy with the look of the trees (it just looks overcontrasted/artificial to me), but overall it is much better now, so that I have at least removed my opposing vote. Btw, does this camera store raw files and would you have that for this image? --Plozessor 03:25, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Comment I think uploading a 12MP is acceptable here: neither the Mavic Mini Pro 4 nor the Mavic Air 3S have true 48MP sensors, at least in the conventional sense. They use Sony's Quad Bayer tech, which groups adjacent pixels in 2x2 groups. By default, these drones take 12MP images by using each 2x2 group as a pixel but also have an option to take 48MP shots by using each individual pixel. I gave up using the 48MP option because I didn't think the little extra detail made up for the increased interpolation errors and reduced dynamic range, but your mileage may vary. In any case, I agree with others that your 12MP looks over-processed (sharpening halos and noise reduction smudges), it should be possible to get a cleaner image out of this sensor. --Julesvernex2 21:57, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
@Julesvernex2 thank you for your comment. It's good to see someone with technical knowledge. Thank you for acknowledging that drones with 48 MP quad bayer sensors shouldn't have their images necessarily in 48 MP and that 12 MP is acceptable in such cases. I've just uploaded right now a new reworked version with no sharpening, only selective denoise on some areas (Press CTRL+F5 on PC or Command+Shift+R on Mac with file open to refresh cache and view the new version). Could you please tell me what you think of it? Thank you in advance! -- Giles Laurent 22:52, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Thanks Giles, I think that looks better and on par with what can be expected from a Type 1/1.3 sensor. Any strong reason not to correct the perspective? It often looks weird on drone shots, but it may work well for some of the images on this series? --Julesvernex2 15:34, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Here, we’re not judging only the end result regardless of how it was made—technique matters. Approving this image as-is would encourage downscaled submissions. Technically, it also needs vertical correction, the wide-angle lens has introduced keystone distortion. In architectural photography, keeping verticals straight is essential. --Wilfredor 14:48, 28 October 2025 (UTC)  Support IMHO the picture is better now with the perspective fix --Wilfredor 02:14, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

It looks like a kind of digital painting that has nothing to do with a photo, sorry.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sebring12Hrs (talk • contribs)
Jacek Halicki's photos are taken with the DJI Air which has a much lower resolution than the Mavic Mini 4 Pro because it only has 12MP instead of 48MP. And a 12MP photo will always look sharper than a 48MP photo. This exactly demonstrates what I have said above. Also if you look for example at this image from Jacek you will see no higher sharpness than the the present image. So the present candidate is way above the QI bar in my opinion. -- Giles Laurent 15:57, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Per others. After rereading everything, I think the photo is useful for Wikimedia Commons, but that the instrument used is not suitable for QI. I insist that perspective correction is needed.--Lmbuga 21:30, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
@Lmbuga so according to you all shots from a Mavic Mini 4 Pro can't be QI just because the drone records the image in 48MP instead of 12MP? There is a setting in the drone to record the image directly in 12 MP instead of 48 MP, I don't see why this couldn't be used or why it wouldn't be possible to reduce the picture size to match the 12 MP of drones that only have the 12 MP option. Regarding the perspective correction I don't think that's needed for a drone shot, this is normal perspective. Anyway, the perspective was edited in this shot to see how it looks and it seems you don't even see the difference with and without perspective correction so why would you require it? If the perspective still isn't right in your eyes please tell me exactly what is the problem according to you. -- Giles Laurent 22:35, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Info @Harlock81, Lmbuga and Sebring12Hrs, I was mistaken and Jacek's drone is the DJI Air 3S (FC9113 camera is the DJI Air 3S wide-angle camera). The DJI Air 3S wide angle camera native resolution is 8192 x 6144 (50 MP) but Jacek's uploads are approximately 4000 pixels wide or less, which means they were all reduced in size by 50%. This once again completely demonstrates what I was saying. The only way to have a sharp shot with any 50MP drone is by downsizing it. So can you please explain why you think Jacek's reduced size shots are acceptable but not the present candidates? Should honesty be discouraged and candidates that admit reducing image size be disadvantaged over those who don’t say anything so that no one sees it? Please look this side by side comparison. To me the present candidate is clearly of QI and I don't see why one user would be allowed to reduce the size of his drone shots to 12 MP and not other ones. To be clear, I'm not saying Jacek's drone photos shouldn't be QI, they rightfully are. I'm saying that the present candidate should also be QI and should also be allowed to be in 50% since other users do that too -- Giles Laurent 23:02, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

  •  Info The Mavic Mini 4 Pro produces 48MP photos from a very tiny 1/1.3-inch sensor. You can not expect the pictures from this sensor to have the same sharpness and detail as a Full frame sensor. A picture should not be judged harder only because it has more MP in my opinion. Anyway I have uploaded a new version that demonstrates my point, you will see that with 50% size it doesn't look "overprocessed" anymore. That is the only way to have pictures with this sharpness with the Mavic Mini 4 Pro. What do you think of the new version Sebring12Hrs and Harlock81? -- Giles Laurent 15:23, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
