Product photos and prices leak for complete DJI Mini 3 Pro package options

by 6 Comments

So, it looks like there will be three different DJI Mini 3 Pro packages when DJI makes the official announcement, which now seems to be rumoured for May 10th – it was previously rumoured to come yesterday. And after seeing one DJI Mini 3 Pro package leaked by a Dutch retailer, more images have been leaked showing that there will be three different packages available along with their European prices.

The new images come via Jasper Ellens, who’s been one of the major sources of DJI Mini 3 Pro leaks and show off the drone in great detail along with exactly what’s included in each of the three package options. You’ll be able to buy the drone alone – presumably, for just smartphone control – or with the RC-N1 Smart controller or using the full DJI RC Remote Controller with a built-in display.

High resolution DJI Mini 3 photos leak ahead of rumoured April 28th announcement

by 2 Comments

We’re only 10 days away from the rumoured launch date of the DJI Mini 3 and more new images of the <250g drone appear to have popped up online. And as well as the usual assortment of small, low-res social media shots courtesy of Jasper Ellens, it looks like DealsDrone managed to get their hands on some larger shots that show off the DJI Mini 3 in quite some detail.

Despite looking generally a bit beefier than its Mini 2 predecessor, the markings on the drone battery do specify that the drone still weighs 249g. It features a number of obstacle avoidance sensors (although not as many as some of us would like), we can see the microSD card and USB slots as well as the 24mm equivalent f/1.7 lens.

Leaked videos confirm DJI Mini 3 Pro will get obstacle avoidance and a bigger battery

New leaked videos suggest that DJI’s finally stepping up to the plate to bring more advanced features like obstacle avoidance to its <250g product line, the DJI Mini. It’s not much of a surprise considering that Autel recently released their Evo Nano/Nano+ (review here), which are currently the only <250g drones on the market to feature it. The DJI Mini 3 is also expected to come with improved camera performance and video stabilisation and longer flight time.

The videos and photos show what purports to be a “DJI Mini 3 Pro”, which means that we might actually see two different versions of the DJI Mini 3 drone, and were posted to Twitter by DealsDrone. They confirm the weight of the drone, show the obstacle avoidance sensors, the larger battery and improved 3-axis gimbal & camera with a wide f/1.7 aperture.

Specs and photos leak before official announcement of TTArtisan’s first autofocus lens – 32mm f/2.8

by Leave a Comment

TTArtisan is reported to be announcing a new lens today. What makes it special – at least to TTArtisan and their fans – is the fact that it’s the company’s first autofocus lens. Designed for mirrorless cameras, the new lens has a 32mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.8. Which mount versions will be released at launch, however, appears to be in dispute.

Asobinet reports that the full-frame TTArtisan AF 32mm F2.8 Z is coming to Nikon Z mount, showing it in a promo photo attached to a Nikon Z fc. But other leaked images are showing it attached to a Fujifilm X-S10, a Sony A7 III and a Canon EOS M50. It looks like some mounts might not be announced today, though.

Price and first photos of upcoming Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G lens leak ahead of official annoumcement

by 2 Comments

Sony is expected to announce the new Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G lens on Tuesday, March 22nd but as often seems to happen, information has leaked ahead of the official announcement. There isn’t a lot of information but there is a price – a UK price – as well as several images of the upcoming lens.

There’s the product image above, but there are also a couple of photos showing the lens in use on what appears to possibly be a Sony A7S III mirrorless camera with a Sony ECM-B1M microphone perched on top and a Sony FX6 cinema camera. This suggests that the new lens will be geared as much towards video shooters as it will photographers.

This is the first leaked photo of the upcoming Hasselblad X2D

by 3 Comments

The Hasselblad X1D-50c was initially in June 2016 to a great fanfare. Three years later, in June 2019, we saw the launch of the Hasselblad X1D II 50C, and while it did bring a few slight improvements, like a higher resolution LCD and EVF, 0.4 frames per second faster continuous shooting, a faster processor and a refreshed menu system, it was largely an incremental upgrade.

Now, instead of a Mark III, it looks like we’re going to be getting a full major upgrade with the Hasselblad X2D. And the first photo of the upcoming has now leaked via Weibo, thanks to Camera Obsessed.

Complete leaked specs and video of the Panasonic GH6 show 7.5 stops IBIS, 300fps and ProRes video

by 3 Comments

Well, it seems a lot of info about the Panasonic GH6 was leaked overnight – and that Digicame-Info appears to be the new Nokishita. We went from a handful of new specs to the (almost) entire specs sheet being posted online and yesterday’s photos leak has turned into a full video from an Asian YouTuber who jumped the gun a little early, complete with English translation commentary.

From watching the video and reading the specs sheet, it looks like there’s good news and bad. For a start, it’s heavy, weighing in at 823g with battery and SD card and there’s no phase-detection AF. But, it offers ProRes recording internally and the 25-megapixel sensor is capable of seeing up to 300 frames per second.

First images of upcoming Panasonic GH6 leak ahead of next week’s announcement

by Leave a Comment

Scheduled to be officially announced next week on the 21st, images of the upcoming Panasonic GH6 have leaked a little early. Two images have gotten out so far courtesy of Asobinet which show the front of the camera as well as what appears to possibly be cooling vents. Whether or not it’s active cooled or not is obviously unknown, but it seems Panasonic is taking potential overheating issues seriously.

While there haven’t really been any specs announced (or leaked) yet for the GH6, the information given during the GH6 development announcement did suggest that it’s going to be a significant upgrade over the GH5 (and GH5 Mark II), offering 5.7K video at up to 60 frames per second as well as 4K at 120fps. So, keeping it cool will definitely be a priority.

Leaked photos and video show the first “OM System” branded gear is the M.Zuiko 20mm f/1.4 Pro

The change of brand from Olympus to OM System was announced just over a week ago. We were told that new items would start to pop up with the new branding and that existing items would transition over from Olympus branding to OM System branding as old stocks dwindled and new ones were being made. So, we’d still see the Olympus name for a little while.

Now, though, leaked photos and a leaked video show the first new piece of kit with the OM System branding. And it’ll be the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 20mm F1.4 Pro lens for Micro Four Thirds – a lens added to the Olympus roadmap last September.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II lens images have leaked ahead of announcement

by Leave a Comment

This one’s been a long time coming and long rumoured, but it look like Sony might finally be getting ready to announce a 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS successor. Nokishita has posted a couple of photos and diagrams of a 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II to Twitter, suggesting that we might be getting pretty close to an official announcement.

The images aren’t terribly high resolution but show an array of switches for OSS on/off and mode, AF vs MF, focus range, aperture click on/off and various other features. We also see three control rings for zoom, focus and aperture. No specs have managed to find their way out yet, although I guess we may find out as soon as tomorrow.
