This is my second drone. My first was a Spark which my son has “inherited” merry Christmas. To start with I live in the middle of nowhere at high elevation. So I’m not effected by the NFZ zones that have plagued others. While we should never fly near airports, etc. I understand their plight. I’d also love to fly into the clouds, but the 400 ft ceiling is understandable. Registration with the FAA was quick, easy and only $5.
I have flown for a few weeks now and have been having a great time. Only gone about 2.3 miles max distance to date, but with no real signal loss. Primarily I’m using 2.7k 60 FPS or 4k 30fps and the video quality is excellent when played directly into my 4K Sony tv. Not too bad on an iMac either. I have flown in winds up to almost 30 mph and temperatures in to the teens with no major problems, other than my fingers wanting to fall off. Lowest battery voltage was about 3.7 in the coldest temperatures. You will get attitude warnings at higher wind speeds, making your front sensors worthless, so fly with care. I love the zoom feature even if the picture quality is a little lower than the Pro. I’m not a professional photographer and this one is $200 less at the moment.

DJI made it again. The new Mavic 2 Zoom has everything you will need, from using it as a hobby to a professional piece of equipment. Nowadays, this drone is at the head of the industry with all the specs that it includes.

If you are a person that doesn't care that much of postproduction and just wants to have fun with your drone, you should get the MAVIC 2 ZOOM because of its new zoom feature and because it's also cheaper at price point.
If you are upgrading from a Phantom, Parrot... and just want to get something really different in terms of portability and features you should get the MAVIC 2 (Zoom or Pro version).

The omni-directional obstacle avoidance exceeded my expectations. By default, the quad stops moving if it detects an obstacle in the way. In Advanced Pilot Assistance System mode, the quad tries to move around an obstacle. To illustrate how good the obstacle avoidance is, I haven’t replaced the original propellers.
Flying restrictions are built into the multi-rotor firmware. Do google TRANSPORT CANADA DRONE for regulations, NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL CANADA UAV for where to fly and PARKS CANADA DRONE for offlimits. Get Airmap, Drone Buddy and B4UFLY on your smartphone for weather/flying conditions and fly zones.
If you know cameras and post production editing, get a Pro which has more camera settings than a Zoom. If you just want to fly and take photos and videos, get a Zoom.

The camera quality is obviously not as good as the pro but the drone itself is fantastic (Mavic 2, same as the "Pro" without the camera)
Quality overall is fantastic.
