Thanks Chuck. Same conclusion I had. For just a little bit more the A119 Mini is great value. People do love the overall design of WM1 and big buttons.
Yo Ben, Thanks for doing all the leg work. Lol The WM1 is a good Gen 1 chassis.

You can get 2 x A119 Mini 2 for less than 1 x A139 Pro. Seems like no brainer to go for the mini 2. @panzer is there any benefit to that 4k of the Pro im in most real world situations?
@@TizzleT The A139 Pro has the best DAYTIME image quality, at night & low light situations it falls apart. The A119 Mini 2 has the 2nd best DAYTIME image quality, and the absolute best NIGHT TIME & low light image quality.
I'm still holding up with the Yis, I went for quantity over quality lol. They will work to prove fault but they are truly awful. When I run out of them I'll get one of your favorites.
