            The Phantom 3 Pro has a 12-megapixel camera, while the Phantom 4 Pro has a 20-megapixel camera with a slightly larger, 1” sensor. You will notice that the Phantom 4 Pro also produces sharper and brighter images than the Phantom 3 Pro. It also shoots at a higher ISO than the Phantom 3 Pro, while putting out less noise.Dec 1, 2017
