DJI is already preparing an alternative to the Insta360 Antigravity 360 drone. Designers already have the Osmo 360 8K tech, reports also suggest they are already testing multiple prototype of 8K drones in the wild. As usual, DJI does intensive testing of its products before announcing them officially. Latest reports suggest that the camera drone is built on the same technology as the DJI Osmo 360 action camera, blending the drone with advanced panoramic capability.
Specifications and features of the DJI Mini 360 drone
Leaks suggest that the Mini 360 will have priorities set on portability and the video quality of the DJI 360 Mini drone. Let’s break down the set of rumored specifications:
- Weight and design – Standard combo weighs under 249 g
- Camera and video capability – dual-lens technology for 360° capture, just as we have seen in the Osmo 360 with the support of 8K video resolution @ 30 frames per second, while adding this, rumors also highlight the inclusion of panoramic still and video capture, and HDR video capability, while having gimbal-like smooth footage.
- Omnidirectional obstacle avoidance – the omnidirectional obstacle awareness with the help of six sensors, and 3D ToF depth sensor, as well as a downward auxiliary light. This automatic AI-guided technique is utilized by the drones when you use the return-to-home feature in complex flight mode or while using the APAS (Advanced Pilot Assistance System) for obstacle avoidance and video capture.
- Battery performance – we are expecting an extended flight time for panoramic recording. Also, the exact figure is unconfirmed right now, but it will integrate DJI’s ecosystem like the RC 2 controller.
DJI Mini 360 versus Insta360 Antigravity
DJI Mini 360 is expressly coming to give a tough competition to Insta360 Antigravity drone, both of them are about to arrive, Insta360 Antigravity teaser has been officially announced and is about to arrive this month in August, and after that in late September we are expecting the arrival of DJI Mini 360 drone. Let’s compare the available set of core specifications.

TNC Exclusive – We are all waiting for the Sony A7V camera announcement, and not only that, we are also eagerly waiting for the Sony A7S IV. These two cameras need to be updated as soon as possible by Sony. As of August 10, 2025, an anonymous source has dropped some exclusive information into our mailbox at TheNewCamera.com, shedding light on the upcoming Sony A7V, FX3 Mark II, and potentially the Sony A7S IV camera, related to all these models. The insider provided a kind of detailed information related to the sensor and the video capabilities, and we have decided to publish it since it does look legitimate to us.
At the very same time, while these sorts of unverified rumors are subject to change from time to time, they do offer valuable insights to those who love to track the latest information related to the Sony A7V rumors, latest specifications, or information related to the Sony A7S IV camera. Below is the analysis and the quotation of the email, and we have done a sort of professional analysis to the content of the email — so let’s jump into it.
Insider email leak – Direct quote from the source on Sony A7V and A7S IV camera development
Today, on August 10, 2025, we have received this detailed message from a source which is quite familiar with Sony’s prototyping process:
“The new Sony A7V might be using the same sensor as Z8/Z9 modified and slightly cheaper, since the exclusivity use for the sensor will expire before announcement.
44 MP stacked not the same as Panasonic 44 MP not stacked.
If they don’t go this route it might be completely new sensor. They have several prototypes at the moment. The 44 MP non stacked is faster than regular A7IV but slow in general. We will see.
FX3II / A7S IV is 24 MP as far as I know, comes with a fully stacked sensor and with 2-layer transistors. Same sensor will be used in FX6 II, triple ISO around 800 – 4000 – 25600, night specialist.
6K open gate 120 no crop, 4K open gate 120 fps oversampled from 6K open gate 120fps no crop.
That is all, release date this year or early next year if plans do not change. If they change, we will see.”
So this is intel highlighted that has been shared with us, so let’s break down the interesting set of information one by one.
Breaking down the Sony A7V rumor – sensor prototypes and performance upgrades
Let’s analyze the input according to the latest rumor. The Sony A7V camera has multiple prototypes, and this is quite common when we are talking about high-end or semi-professional cameras like the Sony A7V, before they finally enter a production line. The primary rumor centers on a modified 44-megapixel stacked sensor, which is almost the same as that used in the Nikon Z8 and Z9, but entirely adapted for the Sony ecosystem. The source has clearly mentioned that with Nikon’s exclusivity expiring soon, this could be a more cost-effective implementation, potentially putting the Sony A7V in direct competition with the existing Nikon Z8 — a kind of higher-resolution powerhouse for still photographers. The source has also said it has faster readout speeds to minimize rolling shutter in video, and it is a very clear indication the new 44MP sensor will break the Sony limitation barrier of continuous shooting abilities, as we have seen with the Sony A7IV camera, which is limited to 11 frames per second.
Alternatively, the source also mentions that a brand-new 44-megapixel non-stacked sensor exists, but it remains slow in general, suggesting it may help the Sony A7 series expand resolution-wise in stills and video but will keep the limits of continuous shooting speed or higher frame rates in video to protect higher-end model sales.
This set of information suggests that Sony is testing multiple prototypes of the Sony A7V camera with two different 44MP sensors. Yes, the AI chip is coming this year, which will further enhance the autofocus system of the A7 series cameras — possibly even better than the existing Canon offerings in their Canon R6 Mark II camera.
But, it’s interesting he doesn’t talk about 33 MP stacked CMOS sensor, which was rumored earlier
Sony FX3 Mark II / Sony A7S IV rumors decoded – stacked sensors, triple ISO, and cinema-grade video
Now the sensor description of the Sony FX3 Mark II and the Sony A7S IV camera is quite a bit more complex than what we have discussed earlier for the Sony A7V. According to the source, the Sony FX3 Mark II camera or the A7S IV will feature a 24-megapixel fully stacked sensor, and the sensor will incorporate dual-layer transistors — a step up in the efficiency of light gathering as well as data processing capability.
This sensor is also stated to be used in the upcoming Sony FX6 Mark II camera, creating a cohesive ecosystem for professional videographers starting from the Sony A7S IV.
The triple base ISO, which is said to start from 800, 4000, and 25600, means it can easily be tagged as a low-light king or night specialist camera, promising superior low-light performance and a good update from the existing Sony A7S III’s ultra-low-light-sensitive 12MP sensor. Specification-wise, the sensor is able to record 6K open gate at 120 frames per second without any significant crop. This allows professional videographers to capture highly detailed data without any lag or crop.
If this information is true, the upcoming Sony A7S IV, FX3 Mark II, and FX6 Mark II cameras will revolutionize filmmaking with their ultra-high-speed 24MP sensors and amazing low-light performance. The Sony FX3 series as well as the A7S series have always remained a popular choice among filmmakers, and if the above specs are true, they will continue to dominate.
Sony A7 V – Sony A7S IV Release Timeline
The source mentions the release of the Sony cameras in late 2025 and early 2026 if they remain on schedule, if their plans remain unchanged. This suggested date aligns with Sony’s refresh cycle, which generally occurs in the fourth quarter of the year.
However, as we have discussed, a lot of camera specifications depend on beta testers’ reports — what they like and what they don’t like — so everything gets fine-tuned in the final production line version of the camera.
Sony A7V versus Sony FX3 Mark II / Sony A7S IV versus competitors – a quick specification comparison table based on the rumored information we have
To visualize the rumored advancements, here’s a professional comparison table pitting the leaks against benchmarks like the Nikon Z8:

 Viltrox Mirrorless Camera – Creative Concept by Thenewcamera Team Viltrox is already a very well-known name in the third-party lens maker list, and the brand is known for making high-quality budget lenses for leading camera makers like Sony, Nikon, Panasonic L-mount and obviously they are waiting for Canon approval. Once they get approved, we will see many Viltrox lenses for RF mount.
Viltrox camera development — is it hype or reality?
In an August 2025 interview with The Phoblographer, the Viltrox management addressed the camera development question in a very unique way that sparked debate over the internet.
Viltrox rep said:
“As for cameras, while our current focus remains firmly on lens development, we are actively exploring adjacent technologies that enhance the photographic experience. Our commitment is to create a seamless and responsive ecosystem for creators, and we will continue to innovate with that mission in mind.”
So, as you can very clearly see in the first line of the statement, they are neither confirming nor denying a camera. This has sparked widespread speculation and debate over the internet. They are clearly not denying the possibility of mirrorless system camera development.
Viltrox is poised for camera development
Autofocus expertise fuels camera innovation
Viltrox has extensive experience in the development of autofocus systems Lenses for different brands, like they are working for Sony E-mount, Nikon Z-mount, Canon, and Fujifilm X-mount. Although they have made lenses for Canon through reverse engineering, as a result Canon has imposed a partial ban on Viltrox for making autofocus lenses for their mount. Yes, they are in talks with Canon representatives, and maybe officially they will enter into the RF lens-making business by 2026.
They already have a handful of information related to the AF algorithms of brands across the globe. Their research and development team exactly knows how a lens and camera communicate with each other, so this entire knowledge reduces the learning curve for building a camera system that supports advanced autofocus features inside it. The entire development process is not going to start from scratch — they already have the baseline developed and they are working on it.
Overcoming camera system compatibility challenges
By entering into the lens business, they have already faced a lot of difficulties in managing different ecosystems by dealing with sensor interaction with their lenses and their behaviour, electronic signalling, and most importantly the firmware update behaviours they have to manage to maintain the autofocus performance of their lenses across multiple brands. So they are in a strong position to design a very efficient mirrorless system that will avoid common pitfalls and compatibility issues they have generally faced across the different brands.
China tech hub powers Viltrox advancements
Viltrox gets a major benefit from China’s role as a global tech hub. They have access to a vast supply chain of sensors, processors, and optics, where technology can be easily shared with smartphone giants like Huawei and Xiaomi. The entire ecosystem of cutting-edge development, available components, and advanced manufacturing facilities lowers the cost barriers to producing an entirely self-made mirrorless camera system. All these environments and associated factors will surely help Viltrox to innovate in camera development.
Viltrox is Expanding – L-Mount Alliance and Fujifilm GF compatibility
Viltrox is now exploring a partnership with the L-Mount Alliance, with an update expected in late 2025.
Viltrox rep said:
“As for the L-mount system, we expect to have a clearer update on our progress within this year. Looking ahead, we aim to bring Viltrox lens solutions to more camera systems and serve a broader community of photographers worldwide.”
So even for the L-Mount ecosystem cameras supported by Panasonic, Leica, and Sigma, a huge range of lenses are coming in 2026.
Fujifilm GF medium format support
Viltrox is now also assessing the compatibility and scope for the development of Fujifilm GF medium format camera lenses. You can see their expansion — they are now entering the medium format camera lenses market. In the near future, they will be targeting photographers who are seeking high-resolution performance at a reasonable price.
Viltrox Mirrorless system camera can disrupt the entire market
We think these are the three strong reasons that a Viltrox mirrorless camera system could capitalise on:
-
- Affordability – They are creating super affordable/budget lenses by operating everything from China. They have recently announced the Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 Air lens at $175, which is literally impossible for brands like Canon, Nikon, and Sony. If they can do so, then what would happen if they announced their mirrorless system camera at a very reasonable price tag? That would surely disturb the entire mirrorless camera market.
- Technical expertise – Viltrox’s technical expertise is already at the next level. Their efficiency in dealing with various AF algorithms across multiple brands and maintaining AF synchronicity without being hampered by the multiple firmware updates, all of which led them to develop proficiency in AF algorithms. If a Viltrox mirrorless system camera arrives, its hybrid autofocus system will be on par with existing mirrorless system cameras on the market, since they have access to all the tech it needs to be.
- China tech ecosystem – The most important thing, as already discussed, will allow Viltrox to develop and manufacture a super-budget mirrorless camera that no one would have ever imagined.
As of August 2025, at the time I am writing this article, Viltrox has not confirmed nor denied the possibility of a mirrorless camera. Their expertise in autofocus, compatibility solutions, and China’s tech ecosystem positions them well for a potential camera launch. With L-Mount and Fujifilm GF updates expected by year-end, Viltrox is poised to shape the photography market in 2025. Stay tuned for more developments as Viltrox continues to innovate.

- Conclusion: Which 8K 360 Camera Wins in 2025?
Who captures better still images — the DJI Osmo 360 or the Insta360 X5?
The Insta360 X5 is actually marketed as an 8K 360-degree action camera, and on the other side, we have the DJI Osmo 360, which uses a larger 1-inch sensor. So let’s have a quick look at the major features of both, and then we will compare.
Still image performance comparison
- DJI Osmo 360 — high-resolution powerhouse – Let me explain why. The reason is that the DJI Osmo 360 uses dual 1-inch sensors to deliver stunning 120 MP high-resolution images. The images have the highest possible amount of detail due to the 120 MP resolution, and at the same time, they are captured on the largest sensor area. The shadows and highlights are very well controlled, and the camera also has a Super Night mode that shines in low light and produces ultra-clean images with minimal grain or noise, whatever you call it. So the DJI Osmo 360 is an ideal camera for those who are professional photographers and love to have details with less noise in their JPEG outputs, although that also creates limited flexibility.
- Insta360 X5 — the flexible editing master – The Insta360 X5 is limited to 72 MP still images, and most of the processing of the Insta360 X5 is done in-camera. The images of the Insta360 are also vibrant in colour and offer low noise, especially if you use single-lens mode. The Insta360 also offers RAW DNG support. Overall, having a smaller sensor is a bit less effective in low-light scenarios, where the DJI Osmo 360 holds up very well.

Verdict — The DJI Osmo 360 is the best high-resolution 360-degree camera, especially if you love to shoot still images in low-light situations, whereas the Insta360 X5 offers RAW images and single-lens versatility. But I will give more marks to DJI at this moment due to the presence of a larger sensor and better low-light sensitivity, combined with high resolution.
Video performance
- DJI Osmo 360 — cinematic versatility – The DJI Osmo 360 camera offers 8K video recording up to 50 frames per second and 4K videos up to 120 frames per second in single-lens mode. It delivers cinematic footage with 10-bit D-Log M, enabling professional grading in the recorded file. As you know, the DJI Osmo 360 uses a larger 1-inch sensor, and that leads to cleaner low-light 360 footage. Even the shadows have details, and the bright areas (highlights) also exhibit a greater amount of detail due to the better dynamic range of the sensor.
- Insta360 X5 — quick and vibrant – The Insta360 X5 records 8K videos at 30 fps, further enhanced by PureVideo AI noise reduction. When we use this specific software, which is available in the Insta360 5th generation camera, it cleans up noise in the entire video. It performs exceptionally well in low-light environments, especially when using single-lens mode. The second thing we have is Adaptive Tone Mode, which balances the colour instantly. Since Insta360 has been making 360 cameras for years and this is their 5th generation camera, in-camera software noise reduction is very refined — Insta360 X5 performs really very well.

Verdict — As you know, the DJI Osmo 360 camera features a larger sensor as well as higher frame rates while recording 4K videos. And you also get broader dynamic range, giving you more opportunity to work with shadows and highlights while color grading. On the other side we have the Insta360 X5 — it excels for quick, vibrant footage with AI enhancements. So if you want fast footage that looks really good out of the camera, then Insta360 X5 should be your priority.
360 video performance
- DJI Osmo 360 — professional-grade immersion – The DJI Osmo 360 camera has the advantage of recording 8K videos at 50 frames per second, paired with HorizonSteady and RockSteady 3.0 image stabilization. With the help of these advanced EIS systems, the DJI Osmo 360 is able to deliver ultra-smooth footage.
The only issue someone may face is external stitching in the workflow.
- Insta360 X5 — seamless creativity – The Insta360 X5’s 8K video recording mode is limited to 30 frames per second, although it also delivers smooth footage while recording 360 video. The other advantages we get are AI reframing modes, time-lapse, and 8K TimeShift. All these are vibrant modes developed over time depending on user demand. The most important thing is the in-camera stitching of multiple files, which simplifies the editing process — something that is missing in the DJI Osmo 360. They may bring it with an update or maybe in the next version. Some people find it useful to edit manually, but for those who love fast-paced editing, the Insta360 is the call.

Editing and workflow
- DJI Osmo 360 — DJI Studio and Mimo provide excellent subject tracking and locking onto moving or running subjects. 3D object tracking works flawlessly in DJI Studio or the Mimo app. But while editing the DJI Osmo 360 files, the limited reframing options and odd file naming in DJI Studio sometimes hinder the workflow. Although we do have an option to use the Adobe Premiere plugin – that’s a plus point.
- Insta360 X5 — Insta360 Studio’s underwater colour tuning is exceptional, turning everything into vivid, true-to-life colours. Other than this, ND filter correction and AI Frame automatically frame your shots accurately. Since the Insta360 X5 is the 5th generation of the Insta360 series, in this time they have developed their app very well, so a user can easily process files without any hassle.
Verdict — The Insta360 X5 editing suite is much more mature and user-friendly. The DJI Osmo 360 excels in tracking and low-light performance, and it also has the basic editing tools a camera should have, but over time it will evolve — not as simple as Insta360 Studio right now.
