Finally, we have the DJI Mic 2. The two major improvements that I noticed in the new edition are the 32-bit workflow and the option to record lav mic in your transmitter. The noise cancellation is said to be powered by AI, but after looking at multiple reviews, the noise cancellation seems very similar to the latest large M1 Max

DJI Mic 2 Press Release
Jan 17, 2024 – DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and innovative camera technology, today announced the launch of the new DJI Mic 2, setting a new benchmark in audio recording solutions. With DJI Mic 2, creators can expect an exceptional experience, marked by high-quality recording functions, user-friendly designs, and remarkable stability.
“DJI Mic 2 represents a leap forward in audio recording technology. We’ve combined high-quality recording functions, user-friendly designs, and noteworthy stability to empower content creators with the tools they need to capture extraordinary audio, no matter where their creativity takes them,” said Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI.
Pro Audio Recording Functions in Pocket-Size
At the heart of DJI Mic 2 lies the promise of capturing brilliance in different sounds. It’s equipped with omnidirectional recording capabilities, thoughtfully optimized for vocal clarity, ensuring that the audio content of users shines in various scenarios. Whether content creators are producing engaging vlogs, conducting insightful interviews, or recording in diverse environments, DJI Mic 2 guarantees that their audio is of high quality.
DJI Mic 2 also features intelligent noise-canceling technology[1], a game-changer for content creators working in bustling urban areas or crowded rooms. This innovative feature effectively reduces environmental noise, delivering clear vocals and uninterrupted audio recordings. Regarding windy or fast-moving scenarios, DJI Mic 2 has included windscreen to lower wind noise, ensuring clean sound capture in windy outdoor scenarios.
As an added layer of protection for the user’s audio, DJI Mic 2 offers the Safety Track feature. It allows content creators to record a second track at -6dB alongside the primary audio track, safeguarding against unexpected audio level spikes. Even in the midst of audibly complicated environments such as rock concerts, DJI Mic 2 delivers balanced results with remarkable ease.
User-Friendly Design for a Seamless and Intuitive Experience
DJI Mic 2 is not just developed with technical advancement, but also designed with users in mind. Its sleek and smart aesthetic is elevated by a premium metal charging case that not only has a minimalistic appearance but also offers a newly added locking latch, which provides a secure and reliable solution to prevent accidental drops for peace of mind during use.
To suit the style and preferences of different users, DJI Mic 2 is available in two transmitter colors: Shadow Black and Pearl White[2]. Shadow Black adds a discreet, high-tech appearance to the Mic 2 setup, while Pearl White offers an elegant alternative for those seeking a light-tone colorway.
When it comes to getting started, DJI Mic 2 simplifies the process. The system is ready to use anytime, anywhere. Users can just open the charging case, and DJI Mic 2 will then spring to life, automatically pairing the receiver and transmitters while charging them. Additionally, DJI Mic 2 can be seamlessly connected to DJI Osmo Action 4, DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and smartphone devices[3] via Bluetooth, while also offering hassle-free compatibility with various recording devices through USB-C, Lightning Adapters, as well as 3.5mm TRS analog output.
DJI Mic 2 also puts control at the fingertips of the user with its effortless touchscreen operation. A 1.1-inch OLED touchscreen paired with a precision dial provides quick access to critical information. Content creators will be able to adjust volume, gain, brightness, and more with ease, achieving the optimal audio setup smoothly.
With magnetic attachment for quick concealment, the transmitters feature a user-friendly clip-on design that simplifies the process of attaching them to clothing. DJI Mic 2 even offers dual-channel recording, allowing content creators to capture audio from two sources simultaneously, simplifying multi-source recording and enhancing efficiency during post-production.
To further expand the creative horizons of the user, DJI offers practical accessories[4] such as the DJI Lavalier Mic and DJI Mic 2 Charging Case.
Stability and Reliability in Every Recording
Stability is a hallmark of DJI Mic 2, ensuring that the audio recordings of the user are consistently outstanding. DJI Mic 2 is equipped with 8GB of internal storage per transmitter, offering up to 14 hours of uncompressed 48kHz 24-bit audio recording[5]. This ensures that content creators can record for extended periods without worrying about storage constraints.
DJI Mic 2 stands out significantly due to its cutting-edge 32-bit float internal recording[6] capability. This feature not only delivers high-quality recording but also adapts seamlessly to complex sound environments, capturing nuances of sounds, from quiet whispers to booming decibel levels. This level of flexibility provides greater reliability in erratic noise scenarios and offers more options for post-production fine-tuning.

According to the latest rumors coming from the rumor mill, Sony FX 50 and Sony a6700 are maybe in the announcement pipeline. Take a look at the specifications of the rumored cameras below.
A6700 R coming in 2024
We do not have much information about the Sony a6700R camera. In the Sony A7 series, the ‘R’ is denoted for resolution and we already have a 6700 camera with a 26-megapixel resolution. So, there is a possibility that Sony may introduce the Sony A6700R and Sony A6700s line of cameras, similar to their full-frame series lineup. It is really interesting to see what happens next.
Sony FX50 Rumored specification
New FX50 you mentioned, has the highest dynamic range of almost all Sony full frame sensors. it is 35mm.
Has : Autofocus, IBIS, electronic variable ND.
Same style of body like Canon C70 but slimmer and lighter.
Around 3000$ launch price.
Not FX 30 sensor.
Higher dynamic range at least 15.
Very cheap rival to Arri Alexa and C70.
The next rumor is about Sony FX50 and the rumored core specs look very promising. There is high probability the camera will have an APS-C / Super 35mm sensor may be the same as A6700.. or something brand new sensor optimized for recoding video. These specs look very promising. At the same time, we do know that last year, the Sony ZV-E10 camera contributed to 50% of the overall sales of Sony Alpha series cameras. So, Sony is now more serious about developing their video lineup of cameras and in 2024 we may see multiple related announcements. So yes, there is a high probability that we may see FX50 or something similar to that in 2024.

Canon’s three concept models showcased at CES 2024 show Canon’s dedication to the cinema and content creation industry. The first model starting from the left, 001, features an APS-C VR lens, and the second model, 002, incorporates an APS-C 3D lens and third is 360° / 180° 3D VR Camera
Above you can see Canon R7 is using Canon’s latest prototype lenses to be announced in the near future
– Concept Model 001: APS-C 4D Dual Lens VR Lens (affordable version of RF 5.2mm ?)
– Concept Model 002: APS-C 3D Stereoscopic Lens
The first lens from the left looks very similar to the Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8 Lens without RED RING, The 5.2mm it is an existing VR lens in the RF mount series. But the lens shown above looks like made for an APS-C Mount camera and does not come under L branding, so for sure it will be more affordable compared to the RF 5.2mm F2.
After looking at the images, I feel that Canon is putting more effort into developing APS-C-based lenses. For the first time, I saw an APS-C-based dedicated 3D Cinema Lens. Canon will surely not stop here. In the near future, we will have some dedicated cinema bodies similar to the C70 or Canon R7, which have Super 35mm / APS-C sensors.
– Concept Model 003: 360° / 180° 3D VR Camera
Canon hasn’t said much officially about these lenses, but we expect at least one to be commercialized. The specs for these lenses are unknown as they are kept away from the reach of visitors’ hand and Canon rep was not sharing much details about the future products.

We are comparing the Sony FX30 versus the Panasonic S5 IIx. In this comparison, we will mainly focus on the videography aspects of both cameras. Let’s start.
First of all, the major difference we see between both cameras is the sensor size. Both the Panasonic S5 IIx and the Sony FX30 use BSI CMOS sensors, which is why we are expecting better low-light performance as well as dynamic range from the Panasonic S5 IIx camera.
Moreover, if we compare the ISO range for photography, the ISO range of the Panasonic S5 IIx camera goes up from 100 to 51,200 (Extended: 50 to 204,800). In contrast, the Sony FX30 goes up to 100 to 32,000 (Extended: 50 to 102,400). As you can see, the Panasonic S5 IIx can provide a better range.
Let’s also compare the Dual Native ISO range of both cameras available for video purposes. The Dual Native ISO range of the Sony FX30 camera is from 800 – 2500, whereas the Panasonic S5 IIx camera range is from 640 – 4000. Having a broader range means the sensor will give you more latitude in your file, and even at ISO 4000, the noise level of the Panasonic S5 IIx camera will be minimal.

GYRO-BASED IMAGE STABILIZATION in SONY FX30
Gyro-based image stabilization is limited to the Sony FX30 only. When you switch off the sensor-based image stabilization mode of the Sony FX30, the gyro mode gets activated automatically. You don’t have to do anything, you just have to switch off the image stabilization mode.
We don’t have such a mode in the Panasonic S5 IIx camera. The image stabilization is limited to sensor-shift IBS only although you get IBIS up to 6.5 Stops.
Such a lethal combination requires gyro stabilization for sure. You have to get a camera that has fast autofocus performance even at higher frame rates. For example, if you’re recording dance videos or capturing something really cool in a cinematic way while holding the camera, then for sure both are required – autofocus at higher frame rates and gyro-based image stabilization.

Yes, the Panasonic S5 IIx allows you to record your videos directly to an SSD drive. Although Blackmagic Pocket Cinema videos are not available to be recorded directly to SSD, for the rest of the formats like V-Log and Apple ProRes, you can record your videos directly to an SSD drive. |
LIVE LUT DISPLAY IN BOTH CAMERA
Both the Panasonic S5 IIx and the Sony FX30 allow you to upload Look-Up Tables (LUTs) to the camera. The Panasonic S5 IIx is limited to 10 LUTs, but the Sony FX30 can upload up to 16 or even more. The most important part is that both cameras are able to display the live LUT function. This means you can visualize the type of LUT that is being implemented in the footage while recording the video. This is a really helpful feature in both cameras
Easy EI Mode for Beginners in SONY FX30
An ‘Easy EI’ mode does the same thing but automatically switches between the lower and upper gain state if you reduce exposure too far from what the base state can handle.
Focus Breathing compensation in Sony FX30
The Sony FX30 camera also allows for breathing compensation. If you use any third-party lenses with the camera, you won’t have any focus breathing issues. It’s worth mentioning that you also won’t notice any focus-hunting issues. As we have already mentioned, it’s more or less a foolproof camera in terms of autofocus performance.
Internal Fan Both Camera
Both cameras feature a built-in fan, so you won’t have any issues in the long run. Whether you’re recording 4K at 120 frames per second with your Sony FX30, or you’re recording 4K at 60 FPS with your Panasonic S5 IIx camera, the built-in fan will always keep your camera cool, even in adverse weather conditions
Writing Videos Directly to SSD Drives from Panasonic S5 IIX
The best thing about the Panasonic S5 IIx camera is that you can record your videos directly to an SSD drive. Although Blackmagic Pocket Cinema videos are not available to be recorded directly to SSD, for that you will need Black Magic video assistance. But, for the rest of the formats like V-Log and Apple ProRes, you can record your videos directly to an SSD drive.
Shooting Anamorphic with Panasonic S5 IIX and Sony FX30
One thing that professionals may like about the Panasonic as well as Sony camera is that you are able to shoot 3.3k anamorphic videos.
Anamorphic lenses come in different compression ratios, such as 1.33x, 1.5x, and 2x. The higher the compression ratio, the more “squeezed” the image will be
At the time of the announcement, Sony FX30 was missing the anamorphic mode, In addition to true 24p, FX3 Version 3.00 and FX30 Version 2.00 will offer anamorphic lens de-squeeze options of 1.3x and 2.0x, while FX3 Version 3.00 now features focus breathing compensation. So if you love to shoot with anamorphic lenses you can pic either of them.

Canon Finally discontinued its LP-E8 battery, the batteries were compatible with some old Canon APS-C DSLR models, If you already have one of these DSLRs then it’s a good time to purchase a backup battery.
Canon LP-E8 Battery Compatible Models
- 550D
- 600D
- 650D
- Rebel T2i
- Rebel T3i
- Rebel T4i
- Rebel T5i
The Canon 650D / T5i was Canon’s first APS-C DSLR camera with a Hybrid CMOS AF Sensor (Nor DPAF), After that Canon used Hybrid DSLR sensors in 700D as well as in 750D too, and after that, they introduced the Canon 70D, the world’s first camera with DPAF sensor. And after Canon 70D Canon introduced DPAF to Canon 750D. So, overall the Hybrid AF sensor period of Canon was very short at that time, but since the Canon 650D / T5i was the first camera with a Hybrid CMOS AF sensor it was very popular at that time.

Canon Super 35MM Stacked CMOS Sensor Details leaked today, take a look at the details. Take a look at what the source said
Canon is introducing a full-frame stacked 6.4μm DCG-HDR DPAF with an FWC of 75000e- (ISO125~160), RN of 1.3e-, and a frame rate of 60fps. The dynamic range of the dual 14bit mode is 95dB, which is higher than that of the EOS C500M2 and EOS C300M3, and the tolerance ratio is average. The electronic rolling shutter CIS performs well.
Now the big question is which body they will select to introduce the new sensor.
According to the pixel area (6.4μm) defined by the source and Canon full-frame sensor size, the sensor resolution calculated to be 24.1 Megapixel, It look like the Canon R3‘s redesigned sensor is now being used in Canon’s upcoming cinema cameras
