By admin, on February 22nd, 2026
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.

Sony 16MP Partially Stacked Sensor in FX3 II and A7S IV – Latest Sony Rumors February 2026
By admin, on January 15th, 2026
Ricoh announces a new dedicated monochrome GR IV camera. Street photography is actually a play of shadows and the highlights, and if you are capturing them in pure black and white mode, candid portraits and urban landscapes become more and more interesting. The thing is that colour cameras do create monochromes, but they always fall short in capturing the multiple monochrome tones present in the environment, and that’s why dedicated black-and-white kicks in, to capture the perfect compositions.
We do have monochrome editions (Leica Q mono), but they cost a lot and remain reserved for premium street shooters. The GR IV Monochrome makes black-and-white photography reachable for budget professionals—those who don’t want to spend a fortune, but love to have a dedicated black-and-white sensor to capture all the possible black-and-white tones that are never possible with a colour sensor.
Why Monochrome Still Rules the Roost in a Color-Saturated World
In the smartphone space, we have multiple filters, and they obviously never ask before implementing them. The HDR look, the vivid colour look, studio light, more and all that stuff make everything so fancy and polished, but going back to black-and-white photography feels like a rebellious act. Black-and-white photography is all about stripping out all the distractions present in front and just focusing on the texture, the contrast, and the raw emotional punch that you get from the image.
The Ricoh GR IV Monochrome flips the entire script of black-and-white photography with its customised 26MP BSI CMOS sensor, where every pixel of the sensor is dedicated to capturing light. Ultimately, due to the absence of a colour filter layer inside it, it captures sharp details and excellent noise performance, ranging from an ISO range available from 160 to 409,600, so that is really quite insane that we have seen in any APS-C format camera, but the GR IV Monochrome edition can push to the maximum extent. Base ISO is a tad higher (about 2/3 stop), but who cares when the results are this clean? Ricoh’s calling it a game-changer for creative photographers who live for contrast and drama, and I couldn’t agree more. If you’ve ever desaturated a color shot and felt it lacked oomph, this is why: a mono sensor sees the world differently from the get-go.
 The First GR Dedicated to Black-and-White At the end, the most important thing is the carrying capability for street photography. That is highly essential to fit in pocket size and remain easy to handle with single-handed operation.
To make it a perfect companion and flawless support for your street photography journey. The Ricoh GR IV camera features a magnesium alloy body and rugged design, not like a bulky DSLR—a compact camera with DSLR-style photographing capabilities, or even better than that, with a dedicated black-and-white sensor. Overall, Ricoh redefined the GR for this time, and the controls and this time, its highly polished and effectively designed for capturing quick snaps without losing them. Obviously, it is not rainproof, and the only factor that makes it vulnerable is the retractable zoom lens, although it was necessary to put a retractable lens inside the camera to make it ultra-compact and pocketable for a long day shoot.
Specs That Pack a Punch: What Makes the GR IV Monochrome a Beast
Don’t let the compact size fool you – under the hood, this camera is a powerhouse tailored for monochrome mastery. Here’s a quick rundown of the standout specs:
- Sensor: 26MP BSI CMOS, no CFA for ultimate sharpness and noise control.
- Lens: Fixed 28mm equivalent F2.8 – wide enough for immersive street scenes, sharp as a tack.
- Autofocus: On-sensor phase detection with clever interpolation to keep things snappy.
- Shutter Speeds: In-lens shutter up to 1/4000 sec with flash sync; electronic shutter hits 1/16,000 sec for bright-light shooting without ND filters.
- ISO Range: 160-409,600 – hello, nighttime alleyways without grainy regrets.
- Storage: 53GB internal memory plus UHS-I Micro SD slot – no more “card full” excuses mid-shoot.
- Battery: 250 shots per charge – pack an extra, but it’s efficient for its class.
Is the Premium Price Justified? Spoiler: For Purists, Yes
Add $2199, the camera doesn’t seem to be cheap or a kind of budget camera. When compared to its colour sibling, the GR IV, the Monoi costs approximately 50% more than the colour edition. For someone who loves to shoot black-and-white images and is waiting for the Leica Q3 price to come down, this is the best option.
If black and white is your jam, the investment pays off in shots that sing. Noise is controlled, details remain crisp, and that red filter adds versatility without extra gear. For hobbyists, maybe stick with the colour version and edit in post-production
Wrapping It Up: Time to Go Mono or Go Home
In the end, the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome isn’t just a camera – it’s a mindset shift.
Things that we were limited to previously were available only with a very premium price tag. Now it’s available at a reasonable price. Ricoh finally did it, and we are really proud that Ricoh always tries to break unusual barriers in the photography industry, specifically with the popularity of their GR series. They are experimenting with different variants, and that’s a very welcome step.
Nikon, Canon, and Sony are the three giant camera makers of the world, and they should at least have a single camera series dedicated to black-and-white photography in their lineup.
For now, Ricoh has democratized monochrome excellence, and in 2026, that’s something worth celebrating. Grab your gear, hit the streets, and let the shadows tell your story. What are you waiting for?

The DJI Pocket 4 rumors are heating up, as a fresh leak has been dropped. The new image gives us, for the first time, a front view of the upcoming DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera. The innovative dual camera setup present inside the Pocket 4 is clearly visible, and the design of the camera looks very similar to the DJI Air 3 drone camera.
The information has been shared by reliable leaker @Quadro_News on X (formerly Twitter). The image of the Osmo Pocket 4 camera has been captured from a real-world testing scenario. Possibly, the entire setup and the person testing the camera completely match the previous setup that was leaked earlier, but at that time, only the rear view was available.
 In the blurry but revealing photo, a person (face pixelated for privacy) holds the device horizontally, showcasing two prominent camera housings on top. The primary lens sits alongside a secondary module, likely incorporating a wide-angle and telephoto (3x optical zoom) combo based on earlier rumors. For the super ultra-wide shots, and for 2× and 3× telephoto, we now have a Dual dedicated sensor with improved low-light performance and enhanced zooming capability.
So it’s not normal that such a major design shift has been made from the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to the Pocket 4. This design shift has been primarily done to improve the low-light performance of the camera, as well as to upgrade the zooming performance of the Pocket series camera.
But the big question is: will the DJI ban affect the Osmo Pocket 4 release in the United States of America? Well, we have already answered this. The Osmo Pocket 4 camera cleared its FCC registration back in November 2025, and since this was done before the December 23 ban, the Pocket 4 is eligible to be sold in the United States of America.
What Does the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Dual Camera Leak Reveal?
From the image and surrounding rumors:
- Dual Camera Configuration: One lens appears standard (wide-angle for everyday shooting), while the other could offer 2x optical zoom (around 40mm equivalent), reducing the need for digital cropping. This setup mirrors advancements in drone cameras like the DJI Air 3S
- Design Upgrades: The body looks slimmer and more ergonomic than the Pocket 3, with a bulkier gimbal head for stability. Carbon-fiber-like textures on the camera shafts add a premium feel.
- Additional Details: A horizontal bar (possibly a microphone or accessory mount) and a small display or control panel are visible below the cameras. The overall form factor remains pocketable, true to the series’ name.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Release Date and Price: Latest Updates
Initially, the DJI Pocket 4 was rumored to arrive on December 18, but yes, the announcement was postponed, and the exact reason stated was a lack of accessories that were supposed to arrive alongside the Osmo Pocket 4 announcement. The next expected announcement window was January, but now it looks like DJI is not in the mood to announce the Pocket 4 even in January. It is now expected to arrive sometime in mid-March, as per the fresh reports we are receiving.
Pricing is speculated to be around $599-$ 699 for the Pocket 4 model—competitive with the Pocket 3’s launch price.

- Compared to past leaks on our site, like the unofficial teaser video showing the dual-cam in action, Yes, that was one of the first unofficial teaser videos shared by a reliable source, but at the very same time, in that video too, no front camera view was visible.

Now that we are entering 2026, this is a golden era of Drone cameras available for around $700, specifically within the USA. The DJI ban is effective as of December 23, 2025, but just before that, DJI not only updated its entry-level drone, with the Neo 2, but also added the Avata 360 to the FCC registration to make it eligible for future sales within the USA.
If you are considering avoiding DJI drones, keep in mind that, under $700, almost all Drones with Excellent Built-in Cameras, generally seen on Amazon.com and B&H Photo, are not manufactured in the USA. Most of the sub-$1000 brands you see are linked with Chinese boards and circuits. And some of them are completely manufactured in China. As of December 23, many models are not directly affected, but as per the ban, only USA-made drones are allowed for new FCC registrations after December 23
Budget market realities: Most sub-$700 drones on Amazon and B&H (e.g., Potensic Atom 2 at $300, Ruko F11 at $369) utilize Chinese components/assembly, even if rebranded. Non-US options like French Parrot Anafi or Israeli/UK models (e.g., Ryze Tello, but it’s a DJI-partnered) rarely hit under $700 without Chinese ties. Ag-focused non-Chinese (e.g., US-based Anzu Raptor) start at $2k+.
What is actually written in the FCC Covered List?
Uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and UAS critical components produced in a foreign country†† and all communications and video surveillance equipment and services listed in Section 1709(a) (1) of the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (Pub. L. 118-159)
That clearly means any drone, even the assembled ones, produced in a foreign country, the FCC registration is prohibited from Dec 23, but all the drones registered before Dec 23 at FCC are still eligible for sale across the USA.
Made-in-USA drones like Skydio and others—which have eye-opening prices, like we have to at least pay $950 for Skydio 2+ drone – Yes, that’s the entry segment drone, but since it’s manufactured in the USA, it does have a Sky-High Price.

Are These Drones Legal to Buy After the December 23, 2025, Ban?
Yes, it is 100% legal to buy DJI drones in the United States of America. Even after the ban became effective from December 23, 2025, and after that DJI is not able to register new products with the FCC, the products that are already registered with the FCC are fully eligible to be sold in the United States of America.
There is no retroactive ban involved. So you can buy them, and you can fly them without any doubt or problem.
And if you have any confusion about this, then we have created a list of DJI-approved drones, and at the end, you will get very clear clarification on why these specific DJI drones are eligible, which is clearly explained in that article.
Final Thoughts: Secure Your Aerial Edge in 2026
So before we finish the article, there is a recommendation line. If you are a beginner content creator and you have to operate your drone solo, then the best drone is the DJI Neo 2. It can be easily controlled using hand gestures, and the Follow Me mode of the Neo 2 will capture each and every moment while you are working in a scenario. So, for a solo content creator, the DJI Neo 2 drone is the best choice.
If you are a beginner cinematographer, then it’s best to get the DJI Mini 4K drone, since you get approximately 31 minutes of flight time on the standard battery. It is highly important to have a drone that can stay in the air for a longer duration.
Apart from these recommendations, there are three other drones that you can buy based on your specific requirements. These include the DJI Mini 4 Pro, which can cover up to 20 km aerial transmission range, making it the best in terms of coverage. In the next position, we have the DJI Flip, an ultra-portable and foldable drone designed for travel content creators. Finally, there is the DJI Mini 3 Pro, which is slightly cheaper than the Mini 4 Pro, offering a professional handling experience within a controlled budget.

The Insta360 is not only working on 1 or 2 drones; they are working on multiple drones and flight machines with 360 capturing capability, and in this article, we are going to discuss some of them that we have sorted out.
The Antigravity A1 drone was successfully announced on December 4, 2025, and it has created a lot of buzz in the media. Specifically, this beast of an under-250-g drone has officially become the world’s first drone to capture 360 videos in 8K. The AI-powered drone is just not a drone. It’s a panoramic powerhouse, specifically designed for content creators, filmmakers, and those who love to capture everything in the greatest detail possible.
If you’re googling Insta360 drones 2026 or best upcoming 360° drones, you’ve landed in the right spot.
Antigravity A1 Announcement Breakdown: DJI Neo Compatitor in the announcement pipeline
In the announcement pipeline, we have a DJI Neo series competitor, which is already being tested, and the prototype has been spotted multiple times
 compact black drone with Insta360 branding on top, as well as foldable arms and ringed propeller guards, which were spotted while testing in the wild. As usual, drone makers like DJI or Insta360 do a lot of wild testing before announcing their final product. The drone design suggests a very lightweight build, looking very similar to the DJI Neo. It is very much obvious that it will be a lightweight drone, which falls somewhere in the ultra-lightweight category, similar to DJI’s Neo 150-gram drone series. One thing that is really interesting is that, unlike its bigger brother, which is able to capture 8K 360 video, in this leaked image, we are not able to detect the camera position. So the second model’s camera integration remains speculative — it’s very sleek and portable. More about this drone here But the real magic? Patents that solve drone woes head-on
From the patent, we were able to find that. But the good thing is that Insta360 is right now only focusing on 360 drones, not normal ones, so DJI is quite a bit safe right now in its territory and doesn’t have any direct competition.
Patent Flying Saucer Concept-Based Mini 360 Drone
So we have a completely new design here. It’s not the regular drone you are thinking about; it looks like a flying saucer with a central wing assembly mount that positions the fuselage and props outside the panoramic lens field of view.
So that’s quite a nice idea. If you want to capture a 360 view of your room or indoor space, and you don’t want a hefty setup. – One of the most unique designs I have ever seen for a drone. The patent document claims 30% more flight time than the regular drones with this unique design.
Text from patent – up to 30% more flight time per patent claim. Paired with asymmetric arm groups (Patent CN202510xxx 1a top dome lens, 2a bottom gear, 3a arms), the A1’s first lens clears the upper arms for skyward views, while the second evades lower props for ground-level glory. Result? Reduced occlusion by 40%, minimal protrusion for crash-proofing, and footage that’s ready for Insta360 360° drone editing straight out of the air.
Gesture Magic Coming to Insta360 Drones: Wave, Snap, Fly
The Antigravity A1 drone doesn’t support hand gestures/movements; no hand-free support or the palm launch is available as of now. The Antigravity A1 drone uses a grip controller for its free motion mode, so you can point the controller or change the direction in the flight.
So specifically, the hand gesture support and controls are being developed for the upcoming compact drones, one that we have already discussed. Some new ultra-compact drones are coming; Insta360 is actively working on multiple prototypes of small, handy drones for indoor use.
Hands-free piloting is specifically coming with compact drones just gotten smarter. Drawing from Insta360’s Human-Computer Interaction embodiment (2025 filing), the upcoming compact drones from the Antigravity series will detect and respond to gestures across multiple users in real-time video frames. It scans N detection boxes, cherry-picks M targets for hand Localisation, and cross-references historical frames for rock-solid recognition – slashing compute time by 30% while boosting accuracy.
Patent icons spell it out: OK hand (takeoff), peace sign (record), thumbs up/down (hover/land), pointing fingers (directional pan), fist bump (emergency stop), and four-finger spread (zoom). In group shoots, it filters distractions for seamless HMI, making the A1 ideal for collaborative upcoming Insta360 drone adventures. No remotes needed – just gesture from afar, and watch it obey.
Fold & Fly: Rotatable Arms for Pocket-Sized Portability
Ultralight-weight drones are coming; they’re highly portable, easily fit in your pocket, the ultralight body carries a cylindrical-style design and housing, and a lens mounted over it captures the 360 view. These drones seem to be the most pocketable / ultra-compact 360 drone ever built.
Bulk be gone. The Panorama UAV Utility Model patent showcases the A1’s genius: a rotatable arm assembly (130: boom base, 131/132: folding joints) that pivots from flight-ready horizontal to storage-vertical, snug against the central body (120: cylindrical housing, 111: lens mount). A fixing component (410) locks it tight, with prop guards (310) folding in for a 60% size slash.
Schematics reveal top/bottom cameras (220) nestled safely, protected from travel dings or crushes. This compact design—echoing the bottom-view skid mounts (labels 1/2) for stable landings—means backpack-ready hauls without sacrificing lift. Users rave about the “pro-level UX,” preventing arm snaps and easing transport for on-the-go creators eyeing Insta360 foldable drones 2026.
Deployable Power: Emergency Pro Mapping That Turns Drones into Heroes
When fun meets function, the A1 shines. The Emergency Mapping Equipment Utility Model outfits the underbelly with an installation box, through-hole access, and dual electric telescopic rods for instant payload drops—like rapid-scan sensors for rescue ops or real estate surveys.
Integrated with 8K lenses, it fuses 360° visuals into 3D maps, all while the lightweight frame (100: fuselage outline) keeps things agile. Insta360’s patents position the A1 as a multitool: playful for reels, pro for payloads in the near-future Insta360 drone ecosystem.
So, these are the patents we have from inta360,.Stay tuned for more updates coming

Stick around as we dive deep into the leaked specs, expected pricing, release timeline, and why this upcoming Canon full-frame retro camera is poised to dominate search rankings – and your camera bag.
The Design Story: Paying Homage to the Canon AE-1 with Modern Twists
Canon retro camera humour is not New. It is wobbling up from past year and as per the initial report, the camera is expected to arrive on AE-1’s 50th anniversary, Canon executives At CP+ 2025, Manabu Kato, a key Canon figure, shared: “I’m really glad to hear that you’re an AE-1 enthusiast because I also like that camera. … So if we were to do that with the design of the AE-1, would it really achieve the kind of ergonomics and usability that we need in a Canon camera? That’s the big question.” Yes, he clearly hinted at the Canon AE1 retro camera arrival, but will it really happen? At least we are expecting sometime in April 2026
The Canon AE-1 was originally released in April 1976, so its 50th anniversary falls exactly on April 2026.
With high hopes and fingers crossed, and Canon isn’t the first camera maker to try RETRO design for the first time, Nikon has its own retro line of cameras, like the ZF/ZFC and Fuji, already highly popular with their retro style Mirrorless and compact cameras,
Canon Retro Camera Specification: 32.5MP Sensor and Pro-Level Performance
It’s time to discuss the core specification of the Canon retro camera. Alongside the 32.5 MP sensor from the Canon R6 Mark three as well as the Digix X image processor, Take an look at the rumoured core specs below
- Sensor: 32.5MP full-frame BSI CMOS (shared with EOS R6 Mark III).
- Processor: Entry-level DIGIC X – efficient for RAW processing and Advanced AI-AF
- Autofocus: Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with eye-detect and animal tracking – reliable for street, portrait, and travel shooting.
- Burst Shooting: Up to 12fps mechanical shutter, ideal for capturing fleeting moments.
- ISO Range: Native 100-51,200, expandable to 50-204,800, sensor optimised for low-light performance
- Video Capabilities: Minimalist approach – 4K/30p at best, with no 8K or advanced codecs. This is a stills-first machine, leaving video beasts to the R5/R6 lineup.
So, here you will get an idea of the basic core specification of the upcoming camera. The camera will have a compact approach like X100 VI / Leica Q3 body, with a longer battery life of 500+ Shots per charge. No, more overloaded set of features.
Pricing and Release Date: When Can You Get Your Hands on the Canon Retro Camera 2026?
Making it affordable in the price range of Nikon Zf, around $1999, so if anyone wants a photographic-centric camera with a 32.5MP sensor, they should have access at $1999, as well as for hybrids, we do have Canon R6 III at $2799, so this is what we have the information for now.
As we have already discussed, Timeline-wise, mark your calendars for April 2026. With the AE-1’s 50th birthday hitting in April, expect an announcement around then, followed by a summer launch.
Let’s discuss the lenses now, since no retro camera is complete without its own set of exclusive customised lenses. Initially, during the announcement, we are expecting
- RF 45mm f/1.2 STM: A fast prime for creamy bokeh and low-light portraits, with a vintage brass finish.
Yes, there are some murmurs of a customised RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM also, as we get more confirmations, we will be adding more information on our website. Stay tuned to TheNewCamera.com for live updates
