Our take
The Osmo Action 6 is the camera to get if you want the absolute cutting edge from DJI — it improves on the already-excellent Action 5 Pro in every meaningful way.
The Ace Pro 2 is the community's dark horse pick — Reddit users who've owned multiple cameras keep landing on this one, and the Leica sensor is a genuine differentiator in tough lighting.
