NEW CAMERA

We have the first set of official images of the DJI Pocket 4 camera, shared by Igor, one of the most trusted sources for DJI news and information. He has published a three-part photo set on his social media account, and we are covering all the images in this article. Specifically, the Pocket 4 camera doesn’t seem much different from the Pocket 3. Typically, if we look at some of the new controls, like the dedicated zoom button, we have it just below the screen, so we notice fewer changes there. Technically, the camera module remains the same as that of the Pocket 3. 

DJI Pocket 4 Core Specification

DJI Osmo Pocket 4: Key Design Changes vs Pocket 3

• Larger, brighter rotatable touchscreen
• Refined body with better textured grip
• Repositioned controls for easier one-handed use
• Still ultra-compact and pocketable

6 Things Most People Still Don’t Know About the DJI Osmo Pocket 4

These fresh details from Igor’s leaks and the official retail packaging are the real surprises:

1. 35% lighter than the Pocket 3. The new Pocket 4 weighs just ~116 g (compared to 179 g on the Pocket 3). It feels noticeably more pocketable — perfect for all-day travel and vlogging.
2. No microSD slot — 107 GB built-in storage + 800 MB/s transfer. All footage records straight to super-fast internal memory. No delay, lag or overheating. Offloading 4K files is now lightning quick.
3. The magnetic removable Fill Light in the Creator Combo is one of the most interesting add-ons, allowing you to fill space with light when required. It is a brand-new clip-on LED floodlight that magnetically attaches. Excellent for low-light vlogs, night selfies, or indoor content — one of the most useful new accessories DJI has added.
4. Dedicated physical zoom button + programmable “C” button. New hardware zoom rocker and custom shortcut button mean faster, more intuitive one-handed control while walking or filming on the move.
5. OsmoAudio 4-channel recording + ActiveTrack 7.0 Upgraded 4-channel audio (big step up from the Pocket 3) and the latest ActiveTrack 7.0 for smoother subject tracking. Combined with the improved sensor, low-light performance, and following should feel significantly better.
6. Igor’s honest reaction + Pocket 4 Pro tease. Even Igor called it “just an evolution”… but he immediately followed up saying the Combo set looks more interesting and openly hopes the Pocket 4 Pro will be much more exciting. Perfect FOMO fuel.

Official Announcement Date – April 16, 2026

This is 110% confirm that since DJI has itself posted on the Twitter account, the promotional Valley put down before any announcement, and obviously, the April 16 date is not far away

Will the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Be Worth Upgrading?

For Osmo Pocket 3 owners:

• The changes look incremental (screen, ergonomics, minor internals).
• If you already own the Pocket 3, you may want to wait for the Pro version.

For new buyers or vloggers:

• This remains one of the best pocket-sized 4K gimbal cameras on the market.
• Expect the same excellent stabilization, 4K/120fps video, and active tracking that made the previous model a favorite.

DJI Avata 3 or DJI Neo 3? Mysterious Dual-Guard Prototype Leaked

So just after two days of the DJI Avata 360 launch, now we have the Creator Combo images of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera, the image show above covers all the Creator Combo accessories in it, which will be available to you with the Pocket 4 camera, and even just before that we have massive images of the DJI Pocket 4 camera available in Drone Tech Store, All these leaked images confirms that retailers are now stocked up with the Pocket 4 camera, preparing for its global launch.

Based on the same set of leaks and comments from the retailer itself, we learned that the Pocket 4 camera is ready to ship and will be delivered on April 20. If everything goes on schedule, the camera will be available worldwide from April 20. The teaser or official announcement date is not yet confirmed by DJI, so we are waiting for final confirmation.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Key Specifications (Confirmed)

The new Pocket 4 brings massive upgrades over the Pocket 3:

• Sensor: 1-inch CMOS with 50MP stills
• Video: Up to 6K/60fps — ultra-sharp footage
• Stabilization: New 4-axis magnetic stabilization (biggest leap yet)
• Screen: Bright 2-inch rotatable touchscreen
• AI Tracking: Next-gen AI Tracking 7.0
• Low-light performance: Significantly improved thanks to the larger sensor

So this is a really big surprise: even before the official announcement, retail stores are confidently placing their stock online. We have also witnessed the dummy unit shipment packages leak, as well as the demo units of the DJI Pocket 4 camera with LED flashlight, which leaked approximately a month ago in retail outlets across mainland China.

This recent set of leaks clearly shows that the Pocket 4 Standard Edition is now distributed globally to almost all retailers, not only in mainland China. And very soon — as we have received a date via retailers — sales will start on April 20, as the Dronetech store confirmed during the conversation that they can deliver the standard Pocket 4 unit. So that clearly means the announcement is going to happen on or before April 20, 2026. This is not the first time we are witnessing this massive amount of leaks before the official announcement — even the DJI Avata 360, which was announced in March, followed the same pattern.

These specs make the Pocket 4 the new king of pocket vlogging cameras in 2026, directly competing with the upcoming Insta360 Luna.

What’s Inside the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Creator Combo?

The Creator Combo is clearly aimed at serious content creators. From the leaked stock photos, we can see:

• Multiple official DJI Osmo Pocket 4 retail boxes
• Black premium carrying pouch with the DJI logo
• Full accessory kit in clear plastic packaging
• Extra battery handle/grip with built-in mic
• Charging cables, mounts, and protective covers
• Quick-start guide and warranty documentation

Retailers are already displaying the full combo — a strong sign that global rollout (including USA and Europe) is imminent, most likely mid-to-late April 2026.

Pre-sale campaigns are already live in several markets, and prices are expected to match previous Pocket series patterns.

Why This Matters for Creators in 2026

So this is a really big surprise that even before the official announcement, the retail stores are confidently placing their stocks on the go at the very same time. We have also witnessed the dummy unit shipment packages leak, as well as the demo units of the DJI Pocket 4 camera with LED flashlight, which also leaked approximately a month ago in mainland China. So technically, if you consider this, it massively shows that the Pocket 4 Standard Edition is now distributed globally to almost all the retailers out there, not only in mainland China, and very soon, approximately as we have received a date via retailers, that on April 20 they can deliver the standard Pocket 4 unit. So that clearly means the announcement is going to happen on or before April 20, 2026, and this is not the first time that we are witnessing this massive amount of leaks before the official announcement, even with the DJI Avata 360, which was announced in March.

We’ll update this page the moment official global pre-order links go live on Amazon, B&H, and DJI’s store. Drop your questions in the comments — should we do a full hands-on comparison with the Pocket 3 once we get a review unit?

DJI Pocket 4 Coming April 20, 2026 – Massive Leak Before Official Announcement

DJI Pocket 4 Dummy Unit Leak: New Warehouse Photos Show Massive Shipment

We are sharing a quick report about upcoming Panasonic cameras. Those that we are expecting may arrive in 2026 if Panasonic follows its scheduled update timeline. We all know that in 2025, Panasonic was very accurate with its lineup of cameras, and we expect that even in 2026, we will have some surprising announcements.

The Association of Independent Photographers has published their detailed prediction of what they would likely see in the upcoming months from Panasonic in 2026, so let’s explore them one by one.

1. LUMIX S9 II – The Compact Full-Frame Everyone Wants

The Panasonic S1 Mark II camera is expected to arrive in 2026. Still, again, we are not expecting much here, so maybe apart from a little improvement in quality, controls, and display, not much will be done. Still, overall, the specifications of the camera are expected to remain the same since it’s already one of the best offerings from Panasonic in this price segment, especially after they removed the overheating issues via a firmware update.

Now, the camera is able to record more than 30 minutes of 4K without any overheating issues, and despite its compact body, it has become more usable and more effective at this specific price point as a full-frame camera.

Let’s look at the set of updates that we are expecting from the upcoming camera and the price.

The S9 proved that a truly pocketable full-frame camera could be a hit. For the Mark II, the wish list is short but important:

• Add a hot shoe (the current S9 only has a cold shoe)
• Improved build quality and weather sealing
• Keep the same lightweight, stylish body

If Panasonic prices it around $1,400–$1,500 (roughly the 10,000 yuan / 210,000 yen target mentioned), the S9 II could easily become the new “standard” full-frame camera for hybrid shooters who want flagship performance without the bulk. Many users are also hoping for an optional or built-in EVF, which would make it even more versatile for street and travel photography.

2. LUMIX S5 III – The Next Flagship Full-Frame Hybrid

Panasonic S5 Mark II is one of the most popular cameras. The Panasonic S5 Mark II is widely used by wedding cinematographers, so they can easily create videos for their clients in 16:9 format or 1:1 format while using the camera in open gate recording mode.

So technically, the S5 Mark II camera gives them the freedom to record the way they want, and later in the editing room, they can produce the type and style of videos the client requires.

Although in the next update, the Panasonic S5 Mark III, if it arrives in 2026, we are not expecting much change in size, and the sensor of the camera is expected to remain the same, as we have seen in the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera. We will likely see some investment in the autofocus performance of the camera, specifically improvements in the AI detection algorithm and overall image processing algorithm, and maybe we may also see an upgrade in the image processing engine with this update.

Yes, we are expecting the arrival of the Panasonic S5 Mark III in the year 2026.

• New Image Processing Engine
• Improved AI AF Aglos of next genration
• Major sensor and AF upgrades
• Even better video specs
• Refined ergonomics and IBIS

It’s the logical successor that hybrid creators and serious enthusiasts have been waiting for.The current S5 II has become a runaway value king, with used bodies now regularly dipping below $1,000 in the U.S. market.

3. LUMIX S1H II – The Pro Video Workhorse

The original S1H launched in 2019 and is due for an update, and it is still a favorite among independent filmmakers for its cinema-grade video tools. Rumors about an S1H II have been circulating for some time, and the window feels right for a 2026 refresh.

For those who are new, the Panasonic S1H series is designed specifically as a “bridge” camera that brings professional cinema camera capabilities (comparable to the VariCam and EVA1) into a handheld mirrorless camera body.

Based on recent interviews and conversations, it looks like Panasonic is working on the successor to this camera, and this could be the best year to announce the successor of the S1H camera.

In a recent interview with Petapixel, Panasonic’s Toshiyuki Tsumura, Executive Vice President and Director of Imaging Solutions, said:

Panasonic Lumix’s goal with a future S1H is to combine professional broadcast-level capabilities with the S Series’ smaller camera size.

“We feel that in order to be called an S1H, we would have to include prosumer and professional video capability in the camera within the small camera footprint. However, this would probably require a lot of cables and specific functionality for professionals. It’s not necessarily just video capture capability, but also connectivity, IP control, and system integration capacity. We need to include that functionality in a small size, so we’re striving to develop this kind of system,” Tsumura.

Panasonic S1 H Mark II Rumoured core specification

• 6K/8K internal recording
• ProRes RAW
• Advanced cooling and connectivity

Pricing will be the big question in today’s market, but demand from indie studios and high-end creators remains strong.

4. LUMIX LX100 III – Capitalizing on the Compact Camera Revival

Well, this is the most-awaited compact camera from the LX series. Last year, we had a kind of display screen update in the LX100 Mark II camera. Now we are waiting that at least this year, after a very long time, the LX100 II was announced back in August 2018, and since then, people have been waiting for an update or a refreshed compact camera in hand, but are still waiting for it.

The LX100 II was very capable when it was announced, using a 17-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor with an effective resolution output of 12.8 megapixels and a DFD (Depth From Defocus) autofocus system.

In 2026, we are expecting the LX100 Mark III camera with an updated sensor and a hybrid autofocus system.

. An LX100 III feels almost inevitable in 2026, likely featuring:

• Updated sensor and processor
• Improved EVF and touchscreen
• Modern video capabilities

It could be one of the most exciting “fun” cameras of the year.

5. New Micro Four Thirds Bodies – Especially a GX9 Successor & GH8

The MFT system is far from dead, and fans are hungry for fresh models beyond the high-end GH and G9 series. Top requests include:

• GX9 successor (known as GX7 Mark III in some markets) – a stylish, compact rangefinder-style body focused on design and portability
• GH8 – the long-awaited next chapter for serious video creators who love the GH line’s features but want the latest tech

After several years of mostly premium releases, a strong mid-range or enthusiast MFT model would be very welcome.

6. Lenses: The Third-Party Wave Continues

On the glass side, Panasonic’s own lens roadmap has slowed, so many photographers are realistically looking toward Sigma, Viltrox, and Sirui for affordable, high-performance L-mount and MFT options in 2026.

Bottom line: 2026 looks like a very promising year for LUMIX fans. Between the S9 II’s potential hot-shoe/EVF upgrades, the S5 III flagship, a possible S1H II for video pros, the return of the LX100, and long-awaited MFT refreshes, Panasonic has plenty of room to excite both hybrid shooters and dedicated filmmakers.

We’ll keep a close eye on official announcements as the year progresses. Which rumored LUMIX 2026 camera are you most excited about? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
