Day time comparison. Note I tried to take the same time of day on both, but obviously there are some differences with the car not being there on the OG. This time of year the sun angle also varies by the minute so it may not be a perfect apples-to-apples. The v4 does show more detail in the grass/leaves etc. Colors are more vivid which may or may not be “accurate”. The sun seems to affect the v4 with a bit more glare but nothing terrible.
Looking at these pictures makes me wonder if the sun is brighter today but I believe the conditions were pretty much identical yesterday and today, I specifically waited for a time when the sun was overhead and there wasn’t cloud cover to take the picture yesterday, and it is the same out today at the same time.
I can see “flaws” with both images. The v4 has sharper focus in some areas than others, but the OG seems to be less sharp across the whole image.
So it appears the OG overstates colors at night while the v4 probably needs some tweaks to make colors more apparent, then during the day it is basically the opposite, OG’s colors are muted and v4 are probably a bit overstated.
Personally I’m not disappointed with either camera, but comparing the two has given me a good idea of what each excels at. My other OGs will stay since the areas they’re looking at do not need the improved night clarity, and I feel the day images on both are very good even though there are some differences. They both show what I need them to during the day, and I feel the v4 will probably be better at night, especially if they can tweak the colors a bit.
