I only have the DJI Spark. I'm planning on upgrading my drone to a DJI Mavic Pro 2 in the spring. The Spark only shoots in JPEG which limits my editing in Serif' Affinity Photo. The problems with the DJI Spark is the flight time. I have 3 batteries and I can only get about 12 minutes per battery in flight time. So I'm limited to about 36 minutes per location. There is no RAW file format for photography as well. I like to shoot video at 1080p/60fps. The DJI Spark is limited to 1080p/30fps. The distance also sucks. Since I lost my first DJI Spark due to connection issues, I won't fly it more than 300 meters away from me. With the above shot I was over the Ottawa River which really isn't a bright idea since I'd lose the drone in water if it were to lose power or if I lost connection. I've had my second drone for about 6 weeks now and I haven't lost connection to it which is good. I am still hesitant to fly it great distance or in an obstructed area where I lose sight of it or where I have a chance of losing connection. I do want a drone with a bigger battery and longer flight time. Also I want to shoot in RAW mode and I want to have an option of shooting in 4k. Next year I want to go to Prague with my girlfriend. I already have good cameras and a good camcorder. I want to have a better drone for those arial shots. I am currently saving all my photography money for a Sony RX100 Mark IV. I am planning on getting the DJI Mavic Pro 2 with my tax return. We shall see, the shall see.
