Finally, the first image of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera leaked, and we have it too. In this article, we are going to discuss about the rumoured price of the camera, specifications and expected arrival timeline. The handheld gimbal camera is very much popular among content creators, and specifically in the video camera category, it has been grabbing almost 50% of the entire market share, specifically in Japan.
The Pocket 3 was announced back in 2023, and at the time of announcement, it raised the bar with a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 4K 120 FPS video recording, support of D-Log M and 10-bit options for having higher latitude in shadows and highlight areas. Well, this was our Pocket 3 or smoke way ahead of its time.
The first leaked image of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera
In the first image of the Osmo Pocket 4 camera, we have a very clear view of the branding Pocket 4, obviously, it is being held by someone with a kind of green background. The good thing is that the form factor of the camera looks very similar and compact compared to the previous generation Pocket 3.
The same image is being surfaced and circulating in Chinese social media forums. From the image, the device looks like an early prototype stage when the image was captured, so the unofficial teaser confirms its development, but will it arrive in 2025, or will the announcement be shifted to 2026? We are going to discuss over that after the specification part.
Rumored Specifications
Core specifications, which are already floating over the internet across many websites, say the upcoming DJI Pocket 4 camera will have the same 12-megapixel sensor and 4K video recording up to 240 frames per second. The specifications also say the upcoming Pocket 4 will have a slightly larger display screen of 2.5 inches and will weigh approximately 190 grams.
Will Pocket 4 also get an 8K sensor in the near future?
The upcoming DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera will likely have an 8K-capable 1-inch sensor inside it. Why 8K sensor inside the Pocket 4? Is it possible? DJI is already using dual 1-inch sensors paired with dual lenses in the recently announced Osmo 360 camera ($549), which is able to record 8K 30 FPS of dual stream video simultaneously, as well as dual 4K 120 FPS video. The Osmo 360 is not only recording these dual streams 8K or 4K 120fps, it is also processing inside it, merging it to create a perfect 360 video for the users, while maintaining overheating very effectively.
DJI Osmo Pocket 360 camera has already demonstrated the ability to integrate higher resolution 1-inch sensors in small compact devices. And DJI is known for progressive upgrades, for example, the sensor size from 1/1.7 inch was shifted and increased to 1 inch in Pocket 3, so that was a big improvement in the sensor size of the camera, resulting in excellent low-light videos. Now the next logical step is towards higher resolutions like 6K or 8K for the Pocket 4, specifically targeting professional content creators, solo storytellers. Giving an excellent option/alternative compared to the new generation iPhone 17 cameras.

Thenewcamera.com exclusive report: Dream Technology, a brand that is already making home appliances now entered into the action camera market, and their first camera is the LEAPTIC. The LEAPTIC looks very similar to the DJI Osmo Nano, which is about to be released soon. The design of the camera looks very much innovative, and you can see the modular camera with an external display attached and the camera itself has an OLED display on the rear side, so overall it looks like a versatile POV-based action camera made for content creators.
LEAPTIC Action Camera price and availability
As of August 2025, at the time I am writing this article, the exact price has not been disclosed by the camera maker. Announcement of the camera is expected in September – October 2025, with a price tag of approximately $249 – $349 for the base model. The bundles, including different accessories like a magnetic mount or additional storage space, will cost you slightly more as per the package you select.
LEAPTIC Action Specification
Let’s discuss the set of specifications we have about this upcoming camera:
- Camera: 12MP CMOS sensor, capable of recording 4K video at 60fps and 1080p at 120fps for smooth slow-motion footage.
- Field of View (FOV): Ultra-wide 155° FOV
- Design: Magnetic split dual-screen system, with a detachable camera module and a secondary touchscreen module for vlogging.
- Weight and Size: Ultra-lightweight at approximately 35g (camera module only)
- Waterproofing: IP68 rating, waterproof up to 10 meters without a case, similar to the DJI Action 2.
- Stabilization: Advanced electronic image stabilization with proprietary technology, potentially branded as Dream Technology’s.
- Storage: Options for 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB internal storage, with no external microSD slot (similar to Insta360 Go series).
- Battery: Approximately 1 hour of recording with the dual-screen module attached; extended battery modules may be available.
- Connectivity: Built-in Wi-Fi for app integration and live streaming, compatible with a dedicated DreamTech app.
- Additional Features: Adjustable filters, timelapse, 8x slow-motion, and AI-enhanced editing capabilities.
The LEAPTIC’s specs position it as a direct competitor to the Insta360 Go 3S and DJI Osmo Nano, with a focus on portability and ease of use.
For editing or transferring the videos to your iOS Apple smartphone or iPads, or if you want to transfer it to Android devices, the company has developed a DreamTech app. The app also offers AI-powered editing tools that include quick video cuts, transitions, and effects, and even some added AI animation features which include a text flow motion. All these initial tools are highly helpful for social media content creators.
Recent News and Market Impact
So the Dream Technology’s latest entry into the action camera market is of course creating a lot of buzz. The DreamTech app specifically focuses on affordability and innovation. They have sold many of their innovative robotic designs during CES 2025, but that’s another thing. As a camera maker this is their first action camera, and we do hope and expect they will introduce more camera ranges soon.
Dream Technology LEAPTIC Action camera is really an exciting edition and looks very much similar to the upcoming DJI Osmo Nano camera. Its magnetic split dual-screen design also looks very similar to the DJI Osmo Nano, so it will be really interesting to compare them side by side and see which one does the best job. Apart from all this, I am really very much excited and happy to see so much competition in the new-age action cameras.
Stay tuned on thenewcamera.com for updates on LEAPTIC launch and hands-on reviews.

So now, we have fresh details related to the Canon R7 Mark II camera, and these all details emerged recently online, which really inspired excitement inside me, According to the Canon rumour mill, images of the camera are circulating, but due to the non-disclosure agreements, the sources didn’t give their consent or better to say granted permission to share the images publicly. So now, based on the available set of discretion, we are joining the pieces altogether to make a clear, vivid picture of the Canon R7 Mark II camera, specifically, here are going to talk about the design part and its features.
The key features of the design part include
- Expanded body size: The Canon R7 Mark II camera is a bit more bulky and heavier than the original Canon R7 camera
- Enhanced electronic viewfinder EVF: the area bump is more visible
- Relocated joystick: that’s a welcome step, and we would love to see a better version of the Canon R7 control interface this time
- Articulating screen: the source said that desperate up and down for low-angle and high-angle shots, but it skipped the side flip mechanism, so that’s disappointing if the camera doesn’t carry a selfie screen, which is now present in almost all bodies, including flagship.
- No LCD top panel display: no issues here, even if they swipe out the screen, but those who have a habit of using this screen may feel a little bit disappointed with this decision
So these are the initial set of design-based information we have related to the upcoming Canon R7 Mark II camera having a bumpy viewfinder excites me for a reason, earlier we do have some tips the R7 Mark II camera will exhibit the same iris AF tracking mechanism that we have already seen in the Canon R3 and the Canon R5 Mark II, so, the bumpy viewfinder design, putting a lot of weight to those iris AF tracking rumors.
Canon R7 Mark II camera arrival time
The expected time frame of the Canon R7 Mark II camera is 4 to 6 months from now, so what does it actually mean? Even if we catch up to the base value, which is the 4 months, and we are almost in September, the announcement will happen sometime in January 2026. The Canon R7 Mark II camera is coming in the first or second quarter of 2026, so the camera is initially delayed from its earlier expected time frame of late 2025 announcement.
Rumored Specification Table of Canon R7 Mark II Camera
The EOS R7 Mark II is rumored to feature significant upgrades, positioning it as a premium APS-C camera. Here are the key specifications based on recent leaks:
| Feature |
Details |
| Sensor |
33MP to 40MP APS-C stacked CMOS sensor, offering faster readout and reduced rolling shutter. |
| Processor |
DIGIC X with DIGIC Accelerator for enhanced autofocus and processing speed. |
| Stabilization |
Up to 8.5 stops of in-body image stabilization (IBIS) for low-light and video. |
| Viewfinder |
2.36M-dot OLED EVF, Eye AF tracking similar to R5 II |
| Shutter |
40 FPS electronic shutter, possibly no mechanical shutter. |
| Video |
4K 120FPS with Canon Log 3, potential up to 6k 120FPS / 8K 60 FPS recording. |
| Form Factor |
Larger body with EOS R5 Mark II-like ergonomics, improved grip, and AF joystick. |
| Memory Slots |
Likely dual slots: CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD. |
| Additional Features |
Pre-continuous shooting, in-camera upscaling. |
The Canon R7 Mark II camera could dominate the APS-C market. The Canon R7 was announced back in May 2022, and it’s been a long gap; a lot of technology and development has been done by Canon itself, which can be seen in Canon’s recent announcements like the Canon R50V or the Canon R5 II. The continuous delay in the announcement may disappoint some loyal users. But, we are in high hopes and love to bring you the latest updates related to the upcoming Canon R7 Mark II camera. The good news is that Canon is already gearing up for the announcement of the Canon R6 Mark III camera.
Stay tuned, stay informed.

Recommendation
The Canon PowerShot V1 is the best option, featuring the largest sensor, but it’s slightly heavier and has a limited 3x optical zoom, which is why we placed it last. But if you talk image quality-wise, its large 1.4-inch sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus system delivers exceptional low-light performance, perfect image quality, and super fast AF speed & subject tracking. The camera also features 4K 60FPS recording without any recording time limit and a vlogging-friendly display screen.
Now, the next recommendation is for a pocket and budget-friendly powerhouse: the Canon SX740 HS, featuring a 40x optical zoom. The next is the Panasonic ZS99 with 30x optical zoom and RAW image support. Apart from these two pocket zoom cameras, we also have the Sony ZV-1 II, which features a large 1-inch sensor with enhanced video capability. Finally, the Nikon S9900, the bigger brother of the Nikon Coolpix S6900, but with a better zoom lens.
