Updated list of upcoming DJI drones, cameras, and other products set to arrive in the next few months. And here is the catch, in the article below, we have not only discussed the names of the products, but we also have rumored specifications, and specifically, some new features, enhanced camera sensors in Pocket 4 pro, 5G transmission in DJI pro drones, and AI-driven capabilities coming inside future drones as explained in the article below. The DJI roadmap for 2026 we are discussing is fuelled by FCC filings, retailer leaks, and insider rumours.
This in-depth guide explores what we expect DJI to announce soon, covering DJI’s upcoming products for 2026. We have summarised all the past articles we have published here at TheNewCamera.com, SO, lets start exploring the details without losing any time
1. DJI Osmo Pocket 4: Imminent Release for Vloggers and Content Creators
The DJI Pocket 4 is no longer just rumors – it’s here in the real world!. We have real-life footage of the DJI Pocket 4 camera, and this is what the leaker says. The leaker is an official DJI store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and according to them, a customer holding the DJI Pocket 4 camera visited their store. They had it with them and created a video, which they posted on their official Instagram handle.
This 33-second Instagram Reel, uploaded on February 15, 2026, by the official DJI-authorized retailer DronesKaki, captures the first hands-on DJI Pocket 4 footage outside of China leaks. It’s perfect for vloggers eyeing the DJI Pocket 4 release date, DJI Osmo Pocket 4 specs, and DJI Pocket 4 Malaysia availability. We’ve embedded the video, broken down the highlights, compared it to the Pocket 3, and included the latest leaked specs.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Standard Model Specs, Features, and Leaks

2. DJI Avata 360: 360-Degree FPV Drone Set for March Debut
We are on the verge of the DJI Avata 360 announcement, the 360 drone. We have covered almost all the possible updates and a reliable set of information related to the upcoming drone, but now it’s about to arrive within a few weeks. The drone pricing we leaked back in January still seems valid, and many websites are still re-sharing it. Now, let’s jump into the content to explore all the latest possible details of the upcoming 360 drone.
Camera System: 8K/60fps HDR panorama video, tiltable module allowing single-lens FPV mode for forward-facing views similar to the Avata 2.
Propellers and Design: 4-blade propellers (up from 3 on the Avata 2),
cinewhoop-style frame with full spherical guards for safe indoor flying, and a grey body with DJI branding.
Obstacle Avoidance: 4-6 front sensors (no rear sensors confirmed), enhancing safety during dynamic flights.
Transmission and Compatibility: O4 system for stable, long-range signal; fully compatible with DJI Goggles N3, Motion Controllers, and the DJI RC 2 (introduced with the Air 3S and Mini 4 Pro)—no upgrade to OcuSync O5.
Battery and Flight Time: Upgraded battery life for extended sessions, though exact times remain unconfirmed.
Additional Modes: Smart features like obstacle sensing, follow-me tracking, and automated paths, making it accessible for beginners and pros alike.
A breakthrough in DJI Avata 360 rumours comes from a leaked 16-second instructional video discovered in the DJI Goggles beta software. This low-resolution clip (32×32 pixels) demonstrates the battery insertion and activation process for the Avata 360, signalling that the drone is in the hands of early testers and reviewers. The video also includes the first official box image and a side-by-side comparison with the DJI Avata 2, revealing the Avata 360 as slightly larger than its 377-gram predecessor.

3. DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro: For Pro Vloggers and Content Creators
The DJI Pocket 4 Pro camera is well on its way to the United States of America, as the FCC ID for this new camera has been spotted clearly, signalling a new model code other than the registered model code of the DJI Pocket 4 that we have already published on our website. From the freshly leaked FCC documents, we can confirm the model is listed as “Osmo Pocket 4P” with the specific model number PP-041. The FCC ID is 2ANDR-PP041, granted under the applicant SZ DJI Osmo Technology Co., Ltd., with the declaration signed by Niki Fang, Certification Supervisor, on 2025-12-15
The Pocket 4 Pro camera looks very similar to the Air3S drone camera system. Yes, the Pro 4 Pro does have a dual camera system in it. Although we have one blurry front pic of the pocket 4 pro that we have shared above.
DJI Pocket 4 PRO Arrival Time
DJI Pocket 4 Pro is registered/granted FCC certification on December 22, 2025. The standard 180-day short-term confidentiality period (which often applies to exhibits like internal photos, block diagrams, schematics, and user manuals) would end on June 20, 2026 (a Saturday).
So, we have the DJI Pocket 4 Standard Coming in March 2026, and the DJI Pocket 4 Pro announcement is expected sometime in May or June 2026.
4. DJI Lito X1 (and Lito 1): Compact Drones for Beginners and Pros
Initially, it started with FCC ID leaks, which confirmed the arrival of the Lito Series in the United States of America. DJI Lito 1 and the DJI Lito X1 are the two drones that are already registered in FCC ID and are expected around the second and third quarter of 2026.
“DJI Lito X1 leaks” are heating up, with this sub-250g series positioned as successors to the Mini lineup. FCC approvals in late 2025 confirm global plans.
Rumored Specs & Features:
Design: Foldable, lightweight (<250g for no registration); 360° obstacle avoidance with fisheye optics and infrared sensors.
Transmission: O5/SDR+5G for 20km+ range and BVLOS flights; Wi-Fi 6/BLE support.
Flight Time: Standard battery ~30 min; Plus ~50 min.
Well, it may be DJI’s strategy; they could have leaked it intentionally to create pre-announcement buzz about which product is actually coming under the branding of Lito.
5. DJI OSMO 360 II: Registered at FCC ID
The DJI Osmo 360 II (also known as the next-generation DJI Osmo 360 or Osmo 360 2) is the upcoming successor to DJI’s first dedicated 360-degree action camera. We have spotted its listing at FCCID. Registration was completed on December 9, 2025.
The certification filing confirms DJI is actively preparing a refreshed 360 action camera with modern wireless capabilities, addressing demands for faster workflows in vlogging, action sports, VR, and immersive content. The “Pass” result and non-covered status clear the path for global availability, including the US market.
The sensor is expected to remain the same, with advancement in imageprocessor and overall functionality, the camera is expected to arrive in the first half of 2026.
6. DJI Mic Mini 2S Transmitter: FCC Filings Revealed
So finally, we have a new DJI Mic Mini 2S transmitter, which the TheNewCamera.com team recently spotted. The FCC ID for the Mic Mini 2 registration was also published on December 3rd, 2025, but today, on January 31, 2026, we have spotted another listing for the DJI Mic Mini 2S transmitter. The big thing is that even the DJI Mic Mini 2 hasn’t been announced yet, and we now also have the DJI Mic Mini 2S. So let’s explore the specs and other details we have for the upcoming Mic Mini 2S transmitter via the FCC ID, the possible pricing, and the potential arrival time.
Public FCC records, dated around December 23, 2025, explicitly name the device as the “DJI Mic Mini 2S Transmitter” under model DMMT03. Filed by SZ DJI Osmo Technology Co., Ltd., Obviously, this is a clear attempt to make a possible way to announce the DJI Mic Mini 2S in the United States of America in 2026, and this will be one of the continuous efforts of DJI to keep their products available and updated in the United States marketplace. That’s why they completed the registration just before the December 23, 2025, ban. More details here
What to Watch in March 2026
Rumors suggest a wave of announcements will start from March 2026, starting with the Pocket 4 standard edition and Avata 360. Btw, Preorders for Avata 360 are already popping up, and Pocket 4 stock sightings hint at a reveal any day. Stay updated as official announcements could drop soon.

This is really very exciting news coming out. We have a listing of the new NIKKOR 28–75mm lens, which has been spotted at the B&H store. Now, this is unique since it’s in pre-order status, which indicates two things: either the lens is on its way, a new version of the existing 28–75mm f/2.8 lens, which is absolutely one of the most popular lenses among Nikon users, or this listing that we have spotted is just a kind of sign before an official announcement is about to happen soon. Let’s have a look at the details.
The Leak: What We Know So Far
First of all, we have a good price difference between the new and the older model, where the older model is selling for $200 less. At the same time, the overall pricing of the 28–75mm f/2.8 series lens is far more reasonable than native lenses. The older model is selling at $996, which is approximately $200 less than the recently released model, which is available at $1,196, a noticeable bump from the original 2021 model’s street price of around $997
Marked as a “New Release” and available for preorder, the page highlights several key features that align closely with advanced optical designs, but at the same time, we were not able to spot any significant difference between the two, the new and the previous model. The core specs of both look almost the same.
Z-Mount Lens/FX Format: Designed for Nikon’s full-frame mirrorless cameras, ensuring compatibility with the Z6, Z7, Z8, Z9, and beyond.
Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22: Constant f/2.8 aperture for excellent low-light performance and creamy bokeh.
Super ED and ED Elements: Improved chromatic aberration control for sharper images edge-to-edge.
Three Aspherical Elements: Enhanced correction for distortions and spherical aberrations, promising better overall image quality.
Compact and Lightweight Design: At just 4.8 inches long and weighing 1.2 pounds, it’s ideal for everyday carry.
We are again waiting for further updates on this. Maybe B&H will update the page later
Ties to Tamron: A G2 Refresh?
If we look at the history, the tamron first started releasing their second-generation (G2) version in 2021 for Sony E-mount, featuring a faster VXD linear motor for autofocus, better close-focusing capabilities (minimum focus distance of 0.18m at 28mm), and refined optics for superior sharpness and contrast.
Fast-forward to 2024, when Tamron launched a native Z-mount G2 variant directly. Loaded with their G2 formula? The inclusion of Super ED elements and aspherical optics mirrors Tamron’s upgrades; there are very few details available about the new Nikon Lens, although it’s coming under the G2 tag.
So, we are not expecting a major upgrade in the lens configuration for now
What’s Next?
Nikon Rumours and other sites are buzzing with this leak, but until Nikon confirms, treat it as speculation. B&H has a history of accidental listings (remember the Z6 III tease?), so this could be pulled soon. If you’re tempted, hit that preorder button—but keep an eye on stock alerts.
Stay tuned to TheNewCamera.com for updates as we dig deeper into this potential release. What do you think? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

A drone at $149 may sound like a typo, but this is the reality. The tech giant DJI, despite the ban and all the issues they are facing, is still providing the best possible solutions under budget and making them accessible. Their ultra-popular entry-level series, DJI Neo, which has an established 4K video recording capability, has suddenly dropped its price to $149. So it is obviously worth paying attention to this, specifically if you’re hunting for one of the cheapest and best drones available in the United States of America. The DJI Neo is the best option right now.
This is not a refurbished deal, nor an open-box product or anything similar to that. It is a brand-new drone, and it has also been awarded by TIME as one of the best inventions in tech. And now, finally, it’s available at the lowest price possible. Even if you apply the Visa card offer on Amazon, the entire price drops further, and roughly you have to pay $99 only for the drone itself.
Why the DJI Neo Stands Out as the Cheapest DJI Drone on the Market
Honestly, if you want to fly the DJI Neo, then you don’t need a Remote ID module, specifically for casual flying or when using the “Capture Me” mode. The drone will follow and capture you wherever you go. You don’t actually require a remote controller for that. Other than that, the weight of the drone is only 135g, so the drone doesn’t require any FAA registration. It’s under the 250g category. Other than that, let’s have a look at the set of impressive features of the DJI Neo.
AI-Powered Subject Tracking: Automatically follows subjects for smooth, professional-quality footage.
Palm Takeoff and Landing: Launch and land effortlessly from your hand for ultimate convenience.
Smart Return-to-Home: Ensures the drone returns safely to your starting point.
Full Propeller Guards: Provides added safety for indoor and outdoor use, perfect for novices.
Up to 18 Minutes of Flight Time Per Battery: Ample time for capturing quick moments without frequent recharges.
This isn’t just a toy drone masquerading as something more—it’s authentic DJI engineering in an ultra-light, ultra-portable design, ideal for those seeking a cheap 4K drone with premium capabilities.
Controller-Free Flying: The Secret to This Sub-$150 DJI Drone
The most interesting part is that this budget-friendly drone is completely “controller-free,” and that’s a feature, not a flaw. The DJI Neo offers versatile control options that simplify drone operation:
Launch and Land from Your Palm: Take off from your palm in seconds with hands-on ease.
Gesture Control: Use simple hand waves to snap photos or start video recording.
Voice Commands: Control the drone with basic spoken instructions for a hands-free experience.
DJI Fly App Integration: Use your smartphone as a virtual controller for precise flight management.
DJI Neo Black Friday 2025 Price vs February 2026 Price
In this table, we are comparing the price of the DJI Neo drone during Black Friday and its Price now (Feb 2026). The comparison done to show you this is the best time to invest in a drone if ur willing to buy the entry-level drone
The Entire series has been made this way to eliminate the need for a Balki controller since it is made for solo content creators. Obviously, when they are creating content, they are not able to handle the drone in the same way a professional drone operator would with a controller, so the entire new series is dedicated to the easiest possible gesture control, as well as for some mode selection. You can use the Fly More app of DJI on your smartphone, so technically, there is no need for a bulky controller and moving your drone from here to there
By eliminating the need for a bulky remote, DJI has made drones more accessible without sacrificing key features.
DJI Neo (1 Battery, Controller-Free): $149. Ideal for beginners or casual users looking for abudget solution. The cheapest DJI drone in the lineup for now. Includes one battery, app-based control, and palm launch for minimal setup and maximum mobility.
DJI Neo Three-Battery Combo (Controller-Free): $219 (down from $289). The best value for longer sessions—three batteries extend your flight time significantly. Skip the controller for just $70 more than the base, banishing low-battery worries.
DJI Neo Fly More Combo (RC-N3 + Batteries + Hub): $259 (was $349). Adds a dedicated remote controller, extra batteries, and a charging hub for enhanced control and reliability. Save nearly $90—perfect for those transitioning from entry-level to more advanced drone flying.
DJI Neo Motion Fly More Combo (FPV Gear + 3 Batteries + Hub): $399 (down from $529.) Elevates the experience with FPV immersion, including DJI RC Motion 3, DJI Goggles N3, three batteries, and a hub. The largest discount at $130 off, this bundle is for cinematic creators wanting the most engaging way to pilot a budget 4K drone.
Behind the Price Drop: Why DJI’s 4K Drone Is Now So Affordable
DJI has made the Neo series more and more affordable to reach as many consumers as possible, and they are doin this without lowering the quality of the drone equipment. Even the while recording 4K video, the NEO EIS is highly effective, and looks like it was made by a professional. Other than that, if you have a slightly bigger budget, then the DJI Neo 2 is an excellent option for solo creators. It does have a front screen that displays, with the basic controls and functionality of the drone, which helps you while you are controlling it with your gestures. At the same time, it has also been equipped with a LiDAR sensor for more secure and worry-free flight, you get a little more battery life with quieter operation. So literally, if you can spend $100 more, then you can have the DJI Neo 2. But, as a budget option, the DJI Neo drone is the best one. And please do not invest your money in other cheap drones claiming to capture perfect 4K videos and all that stuff.

According to reliable sources, a Sony 16 megapixel sensor prototype has been spotted being tested in the wild. Now, just after that, speculation started that the 16 MP partially stacked sensor is expected to be used in Sony Cinema camera lineup, like the upcoming rumoured FX3 Mark II camera. At the very same time, it can also be integrated into future models of the Sony A7S IV. That is the Sony A7S Mark IV camera, which is also rumoured to arrive sometime in 2026. Already, it has been delayed a lot, but people are still waiting for its update.
With the 16 MP rumour, we are going to explore what other updates we have related to the prototype, which has been reported by the reliable sources of the rumour mill, as well as the other set of information we have related to these upcoming Sony Cinema cameras.
What We Know About the New Sony 16MP Partially Stacked Sensor
Even before we begin discussing the camera, let’s discuss the sensor. The sensor is not new. It has been reported earlier,16MP partially stacked sensor is a homegrown sensor from Sony, fully stacked. Have a look at the core specifications of the sensor
Here’s a breakdown of the rumored key specifications:
Resolution: 16 megapixels (full-frame)
Sensor Type: Partially stacked CMOS
Video Capabilities: Near 5K recording with oversampling to 4K for superior image quality
Readout Speed: 240fps—double that of the Sony A7V’s 120fps
Autofocus: 120fps compatible two-point PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) system using all pixels
Stabilization: Active image stabilization with minimal crop impact
HDR Technology: DCG-HDR (Dual Conversion Gain HDR) for enhanced dynamic range in both stills and video
Pixel Pitch: 7.2μm for exceptional low-light performance
Obviously, it has some recording limitations due to the limited 5K capability, not even stretching up to 6K. So I do have some serious doubts about whether that is going to be used inside the Sony FX3 Mark II or the Sony A7S IV
Sony’s Strategy and Limitations
We have the Sony FX2 camera, which does use a 33-megapixel CMOS sensor, but its recording capability remains stuck to 4K 60p, and we are not able to access 4K 120p in FX2. Now, with the help of the 16MP stacked CMOS sensor, Sony can push 4K recording up to 240 frames per second, despite the resolution limitation. So it would be quite interesting to see whether the Sony FX3 Mark II will use the new 16MP stacked CMOS sensor, which can push the 4K capturing speed up to 240fps, or if they are going to unlock the 7K 30fps recording capability of the 33-megapixel partially stacked sensor
As of the announcement on December 16, 2021. Sony Develops World’s First 1 Stacked CMOS Image Sensor Technology with 2-Layer Transistor Pixel
Sony does have an upper hand in sensor tech, but over the past 3 to 4 years, what we have seen is that they are pushing sort of limited updates in their camera. Like in the Sony A7V, we do not have any option to access open gate or 6K / 7K recording as we have in Nikon Z6 III or ZR or even Canon R6 III. Even in a pro Cinema camera like FX2, open gate recording is completely locked, and we do not even have an option to record 4L at 120p.
Release Timeline and What It Means for Creators
We discussed the release timing of the Sony FX3 Mark II camera as well as the Sony A7S Mark IV camera. Just before that, I must tell you that there is also one more camera which is rumoured to arrive—the Sony A7R VI. We covered the rumour in detail in our previous post, and you can look at that article to get more details.
Between the Sony FX3 Mark II and the Sony A7R VI, either of these cameras can arrive in the first half of 2026, likely in the second quarter of 2026. We may have the announcement of the next Sony cinema-style camera, and it can be anything for now, since there are multiple rumors related to the arrival of the Sony A7R VI as well as the Sony FX3 Mark II. So we are not putting any confirmation mark over any camera body name. As for the Sony A7S Mark IV, it is expected to arrive sometime in late 2026 or in the first half of 2027. This is the initial set of information we have related to the upcoming Sony cameras.
Pricing? Expect FX3 II around $3,500-$4,000, A7S IV maybe $3,000 if Sony undercuts to compete.
For creators, this could be a game-changer: Affordable 4K 240fps, HDR video that pops, and stabilization that lets you run-and-gun without gimbals. But if Sony locks open gate behind paywalls, it’ll frustrate. We’ll watch the leaks—stay tuned for updates. If this sensor delivers, Sony might reclaim video crown from Nikon and Canon.

Canon is working on a wireless microphone; we now have the images of the microphone as well as the core details. Originally, the Mic and the transmitter were registered back in 2024; the code name of the wireless Mic is WM-E1-R. It is a compact Bluetooth device tailored for Canon EOS RF cameras. Typically, it has been developed for the expansion of Canon’s wireless microphone system for content creators, giving an excellent alternative option to the existing third-party wireless mic options available in the market. So let’s explore the set of features that are known, as well as the pricing that you may have to pay, and obviously,y the images.
What We Know About the Canon WM-E1-R Wireless Microphone
We now have the leaked image of the wireless mics. The leaked images show a sleek, black, oval-shaped device with the Canon logo and “WM-E1-R” labeling, alongside a square-shaped companion unit that is actually an advanced receiver. These align with FCC IDs AZD250 and AZD251, corresponding to models DS586233 (master unit) and DS586234 (slave unit). Filed by Canon Inc. in Japan, the certifications were granted on June 10, 2024. As we have mentioned earlier, the Receiver is fully compatible with the Canon Multifunctional hotshoe of RF system cameras.
Key highlights from the FCC documentation include:
Device Type: Wireless Lavalier Microphone, suitable for audio-visual equipment, broadcast, and consumer use.
Technology: Bluetooth with GFSK modulation for reliable, low-power wireless communication.
Antenna: Integrated PCB pattern antenna for compact design.
Power Source: Battery-powered, with transmission ceasing during USB charging to comply with regulations.
SAR Compliance: Tested for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) with values of 0.13 W/kg (AZD250) and 0.37 W/kg (AZD251), well below the 1.6 W/kg limit.
Testing Standards: Passed FCC Part 15 Subpart C for emissions, bandwidth, output power, and more.
Labelling: Due to the small size, the FCC ID is in the user manual and packaging, not on the device itself.
The overall design of the transmitter looks very similar to the Rode Wireless Mic design. And typically, the receiver, the WM-E1-R, is designed for the Canon Multi-Function Shoe of Canon EOS R cameras, but at the very same time, it also has a 3.5mm jack input port. In case you want to plug and play in a traditional way with other cameras, too, it remains compatible.
Features and Potential Use Cases for Canon Wireless Microphones
Based on the filings and leaked photos, the Canon WM-E1-R promises professional-grade audio in a portable form factor. Here’s what stands out:
Wireless Freedom: Bluetooth LE ensures low latency and stable connections up to a reasonable range, perfect for filmmakers, podcasters, and YouTubers who need mobility.
Compact Design: The microphone’s small size makes it discreet for lavalier use, clipping onto clothing without bulk.
Compatibility: Tailored for Canon’s ecosystem, it could pair seamlessly with cameras like the EOS R5, R6, or R10, enhancing video audio quality over built-in mics.
Battery Life and Charging: USB connectivity for charging, with smart power management to avoid interference.
Industry Applications: Listed for consumer, broadcast, and commercial use, it’s versatile for everything from home videos to professional shoots.
For videographers as well as professional content creators, those who are typically looking for a native Canon integration, reducing setup time and improving reliability. For sure, the WM E1 R will work the best.
Why Hasn’t Canon Announced the WM-E1-R Yet?
Despite the FCC approval in mid-2024 and now in Q1 of 2026, it’s really interesting to see why Canon has remained silent on the WM-E1-R and delayed its announcement. Certifications like 3C (China) and FCC often precede launches by months, so an announcement could come in 2026. Canon’s current microphone lineup on their official site includes wired options like the DM-E1D and DM-E100, leaving a gap for wireless solutions.
The wireless mic of Canon will help to expand the ECO system of the Canon Mirrorless camera. With strong and reputable competitors like DJI, Hollyland and Rode already dominating the wireless mic market, Canon might be positioning the WM-E1-R as a premium, ecosystem-specific alternative. Although nowadays a lot of budget option has become available
Pricing and Availability Speculations
Take a look what we expect the priccing of the upcoming wireless mic should be
DM-E100 retails around $160.
The WM-E1-R could land between $200-$300,
depending on whether it’s sold as a kit with receiver and transmitter. Availability might align with Canon’s next camera announcements, potentially bundled with models like the EOS R series.

The leaked Canon WM-E1-R wireless microphone excites with its Bluetooth tech, compact build, and FCC-backed compliance. Though not yet announced, it fills a need for high-quality, wireless audio in Canon’s ecosystem. For photographers and videographers, this could elevate content creation without third-party hassles.

We are on the verge of the DJI Avata 360 announcement, the 360 drone. We have covered almost all the possible updates and a reliable set of information related to the upcoming drone, but now it’s about to arrive within a few weeks. The drone pricing we leaked back in January still seems valid, and many websites are still re-sharing it. Now, let’s jump into the content to explore all the latest possible details of the upcoming 360 drone.
Breaking DJI Avata 360 Leaks: Instructional Video from Beta Software
The leak is sourced to an Italian drone pro, Quadricottero, who is one of the early beta testers of the DJI Avata 360. One thing to be noted, there are a lot of people on Twitter who claim they are testing the DJI Avata 360 drone. Still, without any authentic information, we are not sharing or publishing any of their information. Most importantly, this Italian drone enthusiast Quadricottero’s information has also been republished and shared on the DroneXL website, which is obviously one of the most reputable websites for news and information related to drones. Now let’s talk about the point.
A breakthrough in DJI Avata 360 rumours comes from a leaked 16-second instructional video discovered in the DJI Goggles beta software. This low-resolution clip (32×32 pixels) demonstrates the battery insertion and activation process for the Avata 360, signalling that the drone is in the hands of early testers and reviewers. The video also includes the first official box image and a side-by-side comparison with the DJI Avata 2, revealing the Avata 360 as slightly larger than its 377-gram predecessor.
This leak, sourced from Italian drone enthusiast Quadricotteron and early beta testers, dismisses earlier fake or AI-generated content, focusing on verified real footage. For drone enthusiasts tracking DJI Avata 360 video leaks, this is a clear indicator of an imminent launch, with YouTubers already preparing reviews.

Reports are buzzing that the Canon EOS R3 Mark II camera has popped up in testing at the Milan Winter Olympics. It’s not positioning itself as just a high-res version of the EOS R1—instead, it’s more of an experimental beast, packing the industry’s first dual native resolution back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor as its big innovation.
These updates are coming from the Chinese social media handle Camera Beta. Now, according to this handle, they have seen or witnessed the presence of the Canon R3 Mark II camera during the Olympics, and in the page, they have also shared the core specifications of the camera.
Understanding the Dual Resolution Feature
One thing is really very confusing that the upcoming camera can capture 24MP images as well as 54MP images handheld, so he is confused about this feature and he has been concerned that it has a dual native resolution capability of the sensor, but why I personally think that Canon is doing their expertise in handheld higher resolution capturing capability, and with that they can push resolution up to 2X, means from 24MP they can jump to 54MP without putting your camera on a tripod or anything which is stable, you can do it handheld.
Analysis of Canon’s Handheld High-Resolution Technology: So instead of naming it as dual gain resolution or whatever the term they have pointed for it, it is better to say Canon has enhanced the handheld higher resolution shooting capability which can be doubled for the sensor resolution with the help of a new image processor. But this is the sort of analysis we are able to do with the available set of information what the source is claiming about the R3 Mark II camera.
Key Innovations in Sensor Technology: This new camera lets you switch between two native resolutions: 54 million pixels or 24 million pixels. That means you can crank out high-speed continuous shooting at 40 frames per second in the higher res mode, or bump it up to a blistering 90 frames per second in the lower one. It uses an upgraded Bayer array that smartly merges adjacent pixels when you’re in 24MP mode, giving about an 80% sensitivity boost over the original EOS R3. Throw in triple native ISO tech, and you’ve got killer high-ISO performance that stands out.
Advanced Autofocus System On the autofocus front, it’s got a four-pixel CMOS AF system with four photodiodes per pixel. That setup delivers dual cross-type autofocus across every single one of those 54 million pixels, handling phase detection in horizontal, vertical, and even diagonal directions for super-precise tracking.
Video Capabilities for Professionals: For video shooters, it’s a dream: in-camera recording of 9K at 60p or 6K at 120p in RAW format, all while keeping full-pixel autofocus locked in.
So for now, take a look at what they have said, and we have also organised the entire core specification of the camera, according to the information shared by Camera Beta itself.
