Now, finally, we have a fresh hands-on image of the highly anticipated DJI Action 6 camera, alongside comparing it side by side. The images show the DJI Action 5 Pro. It is very clear that the person is holding a kind of prototype of the Action 6, but that will give you a very clear idea of the size and the shape of the new DJI Action 6 camera compared to the old one.

DJI Osmo Action 6 Teaser Revealed: November 18 Launch, and Specifications
DJI Avata 360 Confirmed: Trusted Leaker Igor Bogdanov Drops the Bombshell – Here’s What It Means for FPV Enthusiasts
Looks like the upgrades are going to make the Action 6 a beast for divers. With my Action 4 running 4k 60fps and some cheap lights things are still a bit on the dim side unless it’s really sunny out. A high quality set of lights will run over 1k alone so having a camera that has better low light capabilities will make a huge difference. The included white balance sensor and low light capability is why I chose the Action 4 to begin with so looks like an Action 6 is on my wish list.
