The verdict

Why it scored a 87

Digital Camera World's 5/5 'most capable action camera out there', with DJI's first variable aperture, 8K video, 64 GB of built-in storage and up to 240 minutes of battery, which is why Features leads at 95 and Satisfaction 92. The caveat is regulatory: DJI products without FCC clearance by December 23, 2025 are barred from new US import; the Action 6 was cleared, but there was no official US launch, stock is spotty, and official pricing has drifted from $379 to $416–436. Warranty is the softest at 55.
