Leaked spec sheet shows Fuji X-H2S to have X-Trans sensor – official announcement expected today

by Leave a Comment

The long-awaited Fuji X-H2 is apparently on the way, but unlike the original, there are seemingly going to be two separate X-H2 models. The regular X-H2 and an X-H2S. The X-H2 is rumoured to be a high-resolution model with a ~40mp sensor capable of shooting 8K video, but there hasn’t really been any evidence to back up those rumours. The X-H2S, on the other hand, has had its entire spec sheet leaked.

The leak comes just before Fuji is expected to officially announce a new camera at X Summit. It’s now expected that this camera will indeed be the X-H2S. The specs sheet, though, tells us most of what we need to know. It has a 26-megapixel X-Trans sensor, features dual UHS-II SD and Cfexpress Type B card slots, and shoots up to 6.2K resolution video at 30fps, as well as 4K at up to 120fps.

DJI leak shows the DJI Avata CineWhoop style drone for shooting FPV cinema

by 2 Comments

Well, it looks like the DJI Mini 3 Pro isn’t the only small drone that DJI’s been working on lately. According to leaks from both OsitaLV and DealsDrone, DJI’s also been working on a small-ish (~500g) FPV drone in the CineWhoop style. CineWhoop is a relatively new style of drone designed for shooting high-quality video footage while flying FPV.

FPV has become popular for not only showcasing the abilities of drone pilots but it’s even become a thing in Hollywood now with a lot of movies seemingly jumping on the tech. I even spotted some FPV shots while watching Ambulance the other day (some of them are in the trailer). So, it makes sense that DJI is looking to exploit this market.

Leaked photos, video and specs reveal new Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x macro lens for full-frame mirrorless

by Leave a Comment

Well, it looks like Venus Optics is getting ready to announce at least one more lens. Not surprisingly, it’s a macro lens. Photos and specs have leaked for an upcoming Laowa FFii 90mm f/2.8 CA-Dreamer 2x Macro lens, that will be available in mounts for Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z and Leica L.

The lens is expected to be officially announced on May 23rd and while are no sample photos to show what the view through the lens looks like, enough specs have leaked to cover the basics. There are also some leaked photos and Sony Alpha Rumors even posted an unboxing video to YouTube by Camera Beta.

Complete DJI Mini 3 Pro specs leak confirms 48-megapixel sensor and 4K HDR video

There’s supposed to be a teaser announced later today and the official announcement is expected on May 10th, but the complete specs for DJI’s upcoming Mini 3 Pro drone have leaked, confirming that it has a 48-megapixel 1/1.3″ CMOS sensor capable of shooting 4K HDR video. It has a top speed of 34 minutes (on the standard battery) with level five wind resistance.

It has a top flight speed of 16 metres per second (~35.8mph) and a maximum flying height of 4,000 metres (~13,100 feet) and a maximum flight distance of 18km. Of course, that maximum height and distance are still governed by your local regulations. The leak, not surprisingly, comes via Jasper Ellens (otherwise known as 27 Leaks) who’s leaked much of the Mini 3 Pro information so far.

Dutch retailer leaks DJI Mini 3 Pro details – 4K60p, 3-way obstacle avoidance and up to 47 min flight time

by Leave a Comment

DJI hasn’t officially said a thing about the DJI Mini 3 Pro yet, but Dutch retailer TopRC seems to have jumped the gun a little early, sending a listing live and possibly confirming the rumoured announcement date. If not the specific date, a screw-up like this usually does indicate that an official announcement is imminent. So, it’s going to be soon. But in the listing, they put the complete specs and even listed a price.

The listing, as spotted by DroneDJ, has since been redacted, although it still pops up in search results. Clicking it in the search results just takes you to the page showing all DJI products that they stock although Google still has the page cached. Regardless, we have the complete description of the drone now and its capabilities – and it appears it does have rear collision avoidance, after all.

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.

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.

The complete specs for OM Digital’s new camera have leaked ahead of next week’s announcement

by 2 Comments

Despite the distinct lack of Nokishita in the rumour mill these days, it seems leaks are still coming through just fine. This time, it’s the new OM System camera (which many seem to be calling the “OM-1”) specs that have leaked in their entirety almost a week ahead of the official announcement on February 15th. And thanks to 43Rumors the complete PDF of the camera’s specs have been hosted online.

Assuming the leak is accurate, then as rumoured, it does indeed feature a 20-megapixel sensor with a 5,184 x 3888 pixel resolution as well as High Res modes offering 80MP (10,368 x 7,776), 50MP (8,160 x 6,120) and 25MP (5,760 x 4,320) options. It doesn’t seem to offer the 4K DCI 120fps 12-Bit RAW video that was rumoured, but it will allow 120fps stills shooting for up to 92 frames.

Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 and 28-75mm f/2.8 images and specs leak ahead of October announcement

by Leave a Comment

Last month, Tamron announced the development of a new 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD zoom lens for Sony E-Mount. They claimed it to be the “world’s first mirrorless zoom lens with a maximum wide-open aperture of f/2”. Of course, it’s not and came with caveats, which seems to be the way with Sony stuff. Along with this lens, Tamron also announced the development of a 28-75mm f/2.8 zoom.

Both lenses are expected to be announced on October 28th, according to Nokishita. But that’s not all they said. They also posted all of the images and complete specs brochures for both lenses.

GoPro is soon to announce the HERO 10, its next flagship camera. As it usually happens, some details have already leaked, telling us more about it before the official launch. The recently leaked photos show us that the HERO 10 will have the same design as its predecessor, the HERO 9. But there will reportedly be some improvements, too.
