I took the GoPro Hero 13, the DJI Osmo Action 6, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2, the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra on a dive to compare the underwater color reproduction of these popular cameras.
Besides sharing my findings regarding the color accuracy of these cameras with you, I also show you some uncorrected test footage, and discuss each of the auto-color-correction modes these cameras come with, and the results you can expect from using these features.
If you're in the market for one of these cameras, please use the links below as this helps me enormously to continue to make such videos for you. Thanks for your support!
