Sensor and dynamic range
The 1-inch sensor is a big step from the previous Pocket 2's 1/1.7-inch sensor, which DJI says brings cleaner low-light footage and better high-contrast scenes. DJI doesn't publish a stops figure for dynamic range. What it gives you is 10-bit D-Log M, a flat profile that keeps more highlight and shadow detail for grading, and HLG for HDR TVs. See Osmo Pocket 3 D-Log M.
ISO runs 50 to 6400 for video and up to 16000 in Low-Light Video mode.
How wide is it?
The lens is a 20 mm full-frame equivalent at f/2.0, which is wide enough for arm's-length vlogging. Focus goes as close as 0.2 m. For more width, add the Osmo Pocket 3 Wide-Angle Lens. Digital zoom reaches 2x at 4K and 4x at 1080p; see Osmo Pocket 3 zoom.

Photos are about 9.4 MP (3840 × 2160 in 16:9) in JPEG or JPEG + DNG RAW, plus 180° and 3×3 panoramas. It's a video-first camera. See Osmo Pocket 3 photos.
