Finally, we have a confirmed set of specifications for the Nikon Z70 camera. The camera uses a 41-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, which is non-stacked. Earlier, we were expecting a stacked sensor inside the upcoming DX flagship camera, but for now, we have to settle for BSI CMOS.
Take a look at the full set of core specifications of the upcoming Nikon Z70 camera.
Nikon Z70 Key Specifications
| Feature |
Specification |

| Controls |
Dedicated top-plate REC button |
| Expected Price |
Around or under $2,000 (US) |
| Announcement Window |

What’s Solidly Confirmed
- Body identity and design: Nikon Rumors has confirmed that the official N2416 FCC drawings belong to the Z70. The distinctive top-plate button is a dedicated REC button — a clear sign of the stronger video focus that followed Nikon’s RED acquisition.
- Digital Teleconverter: Nikon Singapore promotional material for the new NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S explicitly mentions the Z70 and its Digital Teleconverter. The caption states that pairing the lens with the Z70’s Digital Teleconverter delivers an equivalent of 1,260mm at f/4. This is the strongest official-side confirmation of both the camera name and the feature to date.
- Earlier signal: The Z70 name briefly appeared on Apple’s official ProRes / ProRes RAW authorised products list in August 2026 (alongside the Z6 III, Z8, Z9, and ZR) before being removed.
What This Means for Photographers
The Nikon Z70 has been presented as the spiritual successor to the ultra-popular D500 DSLR camera. However, if Nikon had introduced a stacked CMOS sensor inside the camera, it would have been a complete game-changer. But they have to keep some ingredients for their future models.
The camera is equipped with a 41-megapixel sensor and can capture 8K video at up to 60 frames per second. It is quite a bit of an indigestible thing that it doesn’t arrive with a fan. Without it, there would be a lot of heat generation that usually happens in high-resolution recording in slow semiconductors (non-stacked). Other than that, the jello effect, or better to say, the rolling shutter effect, may affect the overall 8K video quality while shooting faster-moving objects or subjects.
But let us cut all the worries for now and just hope for the best. As we have seen, the semi/partially stacked CMOS sensor technology inside the Nikon Z6 III and Nikon ZR is able to handle higher resolutions very beautifully. We hope that Nikon will use the same tech inside the upcoming Z70.
The combination of a 41MP sensor + 8K/60p + RED technology + a dedicated REC button suggests Nikon is treating this as a true hybrid flagship rather than a simple Z50 II upgrade. The Digital Teleconverter further strengthens its appeal for long-reach work with the new 120-300mm TC lens.
US pricing is expected to land in the same range as the Z6 III (around or under $2,000 body only). Availability timing remains tied to the announcement window; Nikon has not published an official shipping date yet.
Bottom Line
The Nikon Z70 specification picture is now the most complete and credible of any unannounced Nikon body in 2026. With body drawings confirmed, the Digital Teleconverter referenced in Nikon’s own promotional material, and a consistent spec list from trusted sources, an official announcement in the coming weeks looks increasingly likely.
We’ll update this page the moment Nikon makes it official. In the meantime, this is the clearest look yet at what the Z70 will deliver.

The GoPro MAX2 camera price has dropped to $299 at major US retailers, and that’s the lowest price we have seen since its announcement. The MAX2 has never touched the $299 price mark since the day of its announcement. This is one of the biggest early Black Friday deals I have seen on an 8K 360 camera. The price has been confirmed by B&H Store, USA. Details of the camera and deal are mentioned below.
Current US Pricing (Checked November 5, 2026)
- B&H Photo: $299.00 (listed as Holiday Savings, $200 off $499). In stock and sold by an authorised dealer.
- Amazon: Pricing is more variable. Third-party new offers have reached $299, while sold-by-Amazon listings have recently been higher (around $399). Confirm the exact seller, stock, and final cart price before ordering.
The $299 level is the lowest known price of the GoPro MAX2 camera since its announcement. And it does represent a very deep discount off its price tag. For now, it’s available at B&H Store, while some Amazon sellers are also offering it at the very same price point. This is the best time if you are interested in buying the GoPro MAX2 camera. Let’s take a look at the core specs of the camera before we wrap up.
Key Specs
- True 8K 360 video (up to 30 fps) plus single-lens 4K/60
- 29 MP 360 stills
- HyperSmooth stabilization with Horizon Lock
- Replaceable glass lenses
- 6-microphone 360 audio
- Invisible pole mounting support
- 1960 mAh Enduro battery
- Touchscreen and straightforward Quik app reframe workflow
The GoPRO MAX2 8K 360 camera is designed so you can capture everything around you and choose the framing later. The replaceable lenses and dual-mode (360 + single-lens) design make it more practical for action use than many pure 360 cameras.
Cheapest 8K 360 Camera in the US: Comparison of MAX 2 Price After Early Black Friday Deal
Here’s a short, scannable comparison of where the GoPro MAX2 currently stands on price against the other main 8K 360 cameras (US street pricing, November 2026):
| Camera |
Typical Current US Price |
List / Launch Price |
Key Notes |
Price Position vs MAX2 |
| GoPro MAX2 |
$299 (B&H) |
$499.99 |
Best confirmed early deal |
Baseline |
| DJI Osmo 360 |
~420–475 |
~$550 |
Larger sensor (1/1.1″), strong low light |
~120–175 more |
| Insta360 X5 |
465–550 |
$549.99 |
Excellent low-light, software, battery |
~165–250 more |
Quick takeaway
As you can see very clearly, at $299, the MAX2 is currently the clear price leader among current-generation 8K 360 cameras. The DJI Osmo 360 and Insta360 X5 both offer advantages in low-light performance and sensor size, but they sit noticeably higher in price right now. For pure value on an 8K 360 body, the MAX2 deal is the strongest option at the moment.
Who This Deal Makes Sense For
- Excellent budget option, Creators who want 8K 360 footage and the ability to reframe afterward without buying a separate action camera
- Buyers looking for a capable 360 option under $300 before the main holiday rush
- Anyone who has been waiting for the MAX2 to drop closer to the price of older or competing models
If you live in the USA and trust the GoPro brand, then before the massive deals arrive, the MAX2 is an excellent option. Shops like Amazon.com and B&H also offer a 7- to 30-day return period. If you are not satisfied with the product, you can return your camera.
Max 2 at Amazon and B&H Store
Bottom Line for US Buyers
At $299 (especially from B&H with reliable stock and authorized-dealer status), the GoPro MAX2 is one of the better early Black Friday action and 360 camera values available right now. The discount is real and live. Always double-check the final cart total, seller, return policy, and shipping before checkout, as prices and stock can change quickly.
This is early-season pricing. If you are not in a rush, it is reasonable to watch for any deeper cuts closer to Black Friday, but the current $200 reduction already makes the MAX2 worth considering.

We finally have confirmation that the Nikon Z70 supports a 2× Digital Teleconverter. It was a huge surprise that an APS-C format camera could support a 2× digital teleconverter, making it an excellent package for professional photographers.
This was spotted in official promotional material for the newly announced NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens (released on October 29, 2026). In a Nikon Singapore newsletter, the company wrote:
“Pair with the Z70’s Digital Teleconverter and reach stretches to an equivalent of 1260mm at f/4.”
That’s strong confirmation, without a doubt, that the Nikon Z70 is fully compatible with Nikon’s 2× Digital Teleconverter.
What the Promo Text Actually Reveals
The new 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is the world’s first constant-f/2.8 telephoto zoom with a built-in 1.4× teleconverter. When combined with the Z70’s 2× Digital Teleconverter, the effective reach jumps to 1,260mm at f/4.
This confirms two things:
- The Nikon Z70 exists and is real
- It has a dedicated 2x Digital Teleconverter feature
Timeline and Previous Leaks
Nikon has scheduled the Z70 for a November 2026 announcement. Despite this new confirmation, we are still waiting for final teaser images or videos from Nikon before calling its arrival 100% locked.
If we look at the earlier confirmation, it started in August 2026, when the Z70 briefly appeared on Apple’s official ProRes / ProRes RAW authorised products list (next to the Z6 III, Z8, Z9, and ZR) before being removed. That pointed to serious internal video capabilities.
Nikon Z70 Rumoured Specs (Still Unconfirmed)
Yes, the rumoured specs are still floating around the web. The Z70 as a high-end professional DX body – essentially the mirrorless spiritual successor to the D500 and a “mini-Z9/Z8” in the APS-C line:
- APS-C / DX format body
- High-resolution 45MP stacked (or fully stacked) sensor (high pixel density for reach)
- EXPEED 7 processor
- Fast continuous shooting and strong subject detection AF
- Strong video: ProRes / ProRes RAW support, high frame-rate 4K (and possibly 8K modes)
- Professional build, weather sealing, and ergonomics above the Z50 II / Z30
Pixel count and exact video specifications are still unconfirmed. The presence of a 2× Digital Teleconverter makes a high-resolution sensor more likely, as a 2× crop requires sufficient pixels to remain usable.
We’ll update this page as soon as more confirmed details emerge.

By admin, on November 3rd, 2026  Finally, we have one more image of the Insta360 Ace Pro 3 in white, and this completes the colour variations available at the time of announcement for Ace Pro 3 users. We have already shared the camera’s core specifications. The Ace Pro 3 is about to arrive with a large 1” sensor inside it and a bigger battery to upscale the overall performance of the camera to the next level when compared to the Ace Pro 2.
Let’s initially analyse the design of the Ace Pro 3 camera, and what’s new we have there.
The side face of the Ace Pro 3 is now also available to us, and the images clearly show the thickness of the body, the placement of the buttons, and the port where we can obviously plug and play. We can also see how the flip screen actually sits over the body. So, everything is now very clearly visible, and all these product shots clearly indicate that the announcement is about to happen very soon, possibly in the second week of November 2026.
This clearly indicates the announcement is about to happen very soon, possibly in the second week of November 2026
1. New Leaked Image Shows Black and White Color Options
The latest Quadro_News photo places the Black and White Ace Pro 3 next to each other. Both versions feature:
- Larger rounded octagonal lens housing with the signature red ring
- Clear “LEICA” branding and “SUPER-ELPRO-A 14 ASPH.” marking
- Full-color front display showing a live camera preview
- “Ace Pro 3” badge and Insta360 logo
- Similar overall body layout to the Ace Pro 2 (including the flip-out touchscreen area)
Some text on the lens and screen looks slightly uneven, which is common with early renders or concept-style leaks, but the source and design direction match previous authentic Ace Pro leaks from the same account.
The Ace Pro 2 already offered Midnight Black and Arctic White, so dual color options on the Ace Pro 3 are expected.
3. Insta360 Ace Pro 3 Specifications
Industry leaks and supply-chain reports that have circulated since August continue to point to significant imaging upgrades:
- Sensor: 1-inch-class 50MP CMOS (up from the Ace Pro 2’s 1/1.3-inch sensor), co-engineered and color-tuned with Leica
- Video: 8K30 (with some reports suggesting higher frame rates in certain modes), 10-bit 4K120, and 1080p240. HDR and a log profile are also expected
- Stabilization: FlowState 2.0 with improved AI-assisted 360° horizon lock
- Other features: Continued Leica color profiles, possible dual-camera “Ultra” variant, waterproofing up to 16 m without a case, and roughly 185 g weight
- Battery life: Up to around 200 minutes of continuous 4K recording has been mentioned in leaks, aided by the larger cell confirmed in the FCC documents
These details remain rumors. The FCC filing and the new images do not yet prove the sensor size or video modes.
4. Expected US Price and Availability
Ace Pro 2 launched at $399.99 in the US. Current estimates for the Ace Pro 3 put it in the 549–599 range, which would position it as a premium step up while remaining competitive with high-end GoPro and DJI options. No official US pricing or pre-order information has been released.
Based on Insta360’s previous Ace series timing (Ace Pro in November 2023 and Ace Pro 2 in October 2024) and the September 29 FCC grant, most observers expect an official announcement in November 2026, with US retail availability at major retailers such as B&H, Best Buy, and Amazon shortly afterward. The company has not confirmed a date.
TNC Take
The Ace Pro 3 is real, we have chatter from unconfirmed sources that Insta360 initially planned to announce the Ace Pro 3 on November 11, 2026. However, this information is from unconfirmed sources, so we are not putting much emphasis on it.
As soon as we get any confirmation about the arrival date from interested sources or reliable insiders, we will update this article and publish a new update on our website.
The new Black and White side-by-side confirms color options and shows the redesigned octagonal lens housing plus color front screen with live preview. The larger battery is already confirmed. Whether the rumored 1-inch sensor and expanded 8K capabilities materialize will only be known once Insta360 makes the official announcement, which currently looks likely before the end of November.
We will update this page with confirmed specs, US pricing, and availability as soon as they become public.

The Insta360 Ace Pro 3 first real image is leaked today by an highly authentic source. I already published a lot of details related to the upcoming camera, starting from the FCC registration to the battery details, and now we also have the spec details of the camera. Alongside all these sets of information, we now have the first real images of the camera. Not only that, but trusted leaker Igor Bogdanov has also shared some more images of the Ace Pro 3 camera, which are obviously not clearly visible, displayed at a private event somewhere in China. In this article, we are covering the original leaked images shared by what is said to be an authentic source.
The first clear look at the Insta360 Ace Pro 3 has surfaced. Trusted leaker Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News) shared an image of the camera’s appearance on October 31, 2026, giving the clearest view yet of the next flagship action camera’s design ahead of an expected November announcement.
1. Leaked Image Shows Familiar Ace Pro Form Factor with Larger Lens Housing
The image reveals a body that stays close to the Ace Pro 2 layout: a rugged black chassis with a flip-out touchscreen, front-facing status screen, and the signature red accent ring around the lens. The lens module itself appears more prominent, with an octagonal housing and clear “Leica” branding. The body carries an “Ace Pro 3” badge and the on-screen UI shows a remaining recording time of roughly 2h59m alongside a full battery indicator.
Some of the lens text on the image looks uneven (common with early product renders or concept-style leaks), but the overall design and source are consistent with previous authentic Ace Pro leaks from the same account. Combined with earlier lab-style photos of the camera on test fixtures that Igor shared days earlier, this gives a solid picture of the physical design.
2. What the FCC Filing Already Confirmed
An FCC grant for model CINSABUA (FCC ID 2AWWH-CINSABUA) was issued to Insta360 parent company Arashi Vision on September 29, 2026. The filing confirms dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) plus Bluetooth, along with a larger battery rated at 2250 mAh (3.87V / 8.71 Wh). That is a meaningful step up from the Ace Pro 2’s 1800 mAh battery and should translate into longer recording times in the field.
Photos, the user manual, and other details remain under short-term confidentiality until March 2027, so the public record does not yet include sensor, lens, or video-mode information.
3. Insta360 Ace PRO 3 Specifications (Still Unconfirmed)
Industry leaks and supply-chain reports that have circulated since August continue to point to significant imaging upgrades:
- Sensor: 1-inch-class 50MP CMOS (up from the Ace Pro 2’s 1/1.3-inch sensor), co-engineered and color-tuned with Leica.
- Video: 8K30 (with some reports suggesting higher frame rates in certain modes), 10-bit 4K120, and 1080p240. HDR and a log profile are also expected.
- Stabilization: FlowState 2.0 with improved AI-assisted 360° horizon lock.
- Other features: Continued Leica color profiles, possible dual-camera “Ultra” variant, waterproofing up to 16 m without a case, and roughly 185 g weight.
- Battery life: Up to around 200 minutes of continuous 4K recording has been mentioned in leaks, aided by the larger cell confirmed in the FCC documents.
These details remain rumors. The FCC filing and the new image do not yet prove the sensor size or video modes.
4. Expected US Price and Availability
Ace Pro 2 launched at $399.99 in the US. Current estimates for the Ace Pro 3 put it in the 549–599 range, which would position it as a premium step up while remaining competitive with high-end GoPro and DJI options. No official US pricing or pre-order information has been released.
Based on Insta360’s previous Ace series timing (Ace Pro in November 2023 and Ace Pro 2 in October 2024) and the September 29 FCC grant, most observers expect an official announcement in November 2026, with US retail availability at major retailers such as B&H, Best Buy, and Amazon shortly afterward. The company has not confirmed a date.
TNC Take
The Ace Pro 3 is real – the FCC filing and this new appearance image leave little doubt. The design stays recognizably in the Ace Pro family while the larger lens housing and confirmed battery upgrade suggest meaningful improvements. Whether the rumored 1-inch sensor and expanded 8K capabilities materialize will only be known once Insta360 makes the official announcement, which currently looks likely before the end of November.
We will update this page with confirmed specs, US pricing, and availability as soon as they become public.

Nikon Accidentally Confirms the Z70 in Official NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 Promo MaterialsFinally, we got confirmation from Nikon about the Z70 camera that we were waiting for. Nikon has accidentally confirmed the existence of the Nikon Z70 in its lineup of cameras. This was specifically spotted in promotional material where Nikon was busy advertising its recently announced NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens, which, as I’ve said, was recently announced on October 29, 2026. This was a specially designed and released Nikon Singapore newsletter, and the images include the very specific line.
“Pair with the Z70’s Digital Teleconverter and reach stretches to an equivalent of 1260mm at f/4.”
This is the clearest official acknowledgment yet that the Z70 exists.
What the Promo Text Actually Reveals
The new 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is the world’s first constant-f/2.8 telephoto zoom with a built-in 1.4× teleconverter. A switch turns it into a 168-420mm f/4 lens without changing glass.
- On a DX body the 1.5× crop turns the 420mm end into a 630mm equivalent.
- Reaching the stated 1260mm equivalent at f/4 therefore requires an additional 2× digital teleconverter on the camera side.
The promo specifically ties that Digital Teleconverter feature to the Z70, not to existing DX bodies. This is useful for sports and wildlife shooters who want extreme reach without the light loss of an external 2× teleconverter (which would drop the effective aperture to f/8).
Timeline and Previous Leaks
The Nikon Z70 has been scheduled for a November 2026 announcement, which suggests that the announcement is very close. Despite all the developments we have witnessed today and the strongest set of rumours we have received in the past, we are still waiting for final confirmation from Nikon in the form of teaser videos or teaser images of the Nikon Z70 before making a 100% claim about its arrival.
Earlier confirmation came in August 2026 when the Z70 briefly appeared on Apple’s official ProRes / ProRes RAW authorized products list (next to the Z6 III, Z8, Z9, and ZR) before being removed. That pointed to serious internal video capabilities.
Rumored Specs (Still Unconfirmed)
Consistent rumor themes describe the Z70 as a high-end professional DX body — essentially the mirrorless spiritual successor to the D500 and a “mini-Z9/Z8” in the APS-C line:
- APS-C / DX format Body
- Roughly 45MP stacked (or fully stacked) sensor (high pixel density for reach)
- EXPEED 7 processor
- Fast continuous shooting and strong subject detection AF
- Strong video: ProRes / ProRes RAW support, high frame-rate 4K (and possibly 8K modes)
- Professional build, weather sealing, and ergonomics above the Z50 II / Z30
Pixel-count and exact video specs still vary across sources and should be treated as unconfirmed until Nikon announces.
Bottom Line
The Z70 is no longer just a rumor. An official Nikon promotional piece has named it and highlighted a specific feature (Digital Teleconverter) that lets the new 120-300mm reach 1260mm equivalent at f/4. An announcement is still expected in November 2026, though further delay remains possible. Full specifications, pricing, and exact release timing are still unknown.
We’ll update as soon as Nikon makes the official announcement.

Let’s discuss the upcoming Sony cameras. Here we are going to discuss the cameras that are in the announcement pipeline, as well as the cameras that are scheduled to arrive in late 2026 and 2027, starting with legitimate FCC filings.
Before we discuss what’s coming next from Sony, specifically the cameras in the FCC announcement pipeline, let’s look at the cameras expected to arrive in 2027. All the names mentioned below have been picked up by our research team, and these models have very strong chances of making their appearance next year. So, let’s look at the list, then we will discuss the models expected to arrive next.
Sony Upcoming Cameras 2027

Cycle pattern only |
2023 models — still early for a full refresh. |
| ZV-E1 II |

Older speculation |
Not a strong current signal. |
The first three cameras have the highest probability of arriving soon. The number one camera on the list is the Sony A7S IV, which is expected to use the same sensor that we have seen in the Sony FX2 camera.
After that, we have the Sony A6900. According to sources, the announcement of the pro APS-C flagship camera will take place in the first quarter of 2027. Earlier, it was delayed due to the absence of a perfect competitor in the market. As we all know, the Nikon Z70 is about to arrive, and Canon is also planning the EOS R7 Mark II camera announcement. After that, Sony will enter the market with strong competitors that it can build against.
The initial set of rumours suggests that the camera will carry a 26MP APS-C sensor. The resolution will remain the same, but the sensor technology will be updated with the next-generation BIONZ XR image processor and an integrated AI chip.
After all the above cameras, the Sony FX30 II announcement is overdue, and it is also expected to arrive in 2027 with the same sensor that we will see in the Sony A6900. It is expected to come without a mechanical shutter and with limited photography capabilities, so it does not cannibalise the sales of the A6900 and creates a unique space for videographers and cinematographers in the market.

Sony A7S IV – In the Announcement Pipeline
Regulatory filings like WW261362 usually lead to an announcement in a few months, not weeks. This points to a late 2026 or early 2027 window. Some reports mentioned a possible November target that could slip due to supply constraints (including memory pressure noted around the FX5).
Sony registered a new camera under the code WW261362 with China’s SRRC on September 23, 2026. This is the clearest recent regulatory signal of an unannounced mid-to-high-end body. Nothing is confirmed yet — no model name, sensor, or launch date.

Stacked APS-C sensor rumors exist, but usually later window |
Weaker fit for Japan-registered mid/high-end filing |
Rumored a7S IV direction (unconfirmed): ~ New stacked sensor, high-res EVF, BIONZ XR2-class processing, updated AF and IBIS, stills support with mechanical shutter, standard Alpha menus (not full Cinema Line interface).
Final Take by TNC
WW261362 is real evidence of a new mid-to-high-end Sony camera in the pipeline. Product cycle timing and the Sony Japan applicant make the a7S IV the strongest current rumor candidate, with an FX successor still possible. No specs, price, or exact date are confirmed.
For U.S. buyers who need a full-frame low-light hybrid or cinema body right now, the a7S III and FX3 remain available and capable. Waiting only makes sense if you specifically need next-generation readout, open-gate options, or improved cooling that current firmware cannot deliver. We will update when new filings or official details appear.
