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.

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.

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.

The first DJI Mavic 3 review has leaked on YouTube – announcement expected November 4th

If it’s not retailers jumping the gun or the manufacturers themselves, it’s YouTubers and this time it’s the DJI Mavic 3 again. There’s been a lot of hype over the DJI Ronin 4D and the new DJI Action 2, but DJI Mavic 3 chatter has been pretty mild until lately. Sure, there was rumour of an announcement two years ago, and there’s been a couple of leaks, including the complete specs, but other than that, it’s not been spoken about anywhere near as much as past DJI drone releases.

Well, now the first review has popped up a little early on YouTube (since removed), spotted by serial DJI leaker OsitaLV. Naturally, the video didn’t last online very long but a number of people, including Kanzhaji managed to grab some screenshots and even clips that have been reshared via social media. It also appears that DJI has now scheduled an announcement for November 4th at 10pm Eastern.

Nikon India accidentally leaks Nikon Z9 promo video – confirms 8K at 60fps and raw stills at 20fps

by 5 Comments

The Nikon Z9 is expected to be announced this week and we all suspected that there would probably be at least a couple of leaks leading up to the official announcement. What probably none of us expected is that it would be Nikon themselves who leaked it. But that appears to be exactly what’s happened.

Nikon India accidentally posted the Z9 promo video a little early. It’s since been removed, although it’s been downloaded and reposted in a bunch of locations and it confirms some of the specs for the upcoming camera.

Alleged DJI “Mavic Air 2S” promo leaks on Twitter

While OsitaLV seems to have a habit of posting reliable information to Twitter about upcoming DJI projects, they also post just as many “leaks” that turn out to be nothing. And while I’m freely willing to admit that I may be wrong, I kinda feel like this one might be the latter.

A video was posted to OsitaLV’s account on Twitter which appears as though it’s a leaked promo video for an upcoming DJI Mavic Air 2S drone, with a 1″ 20-megapixel sensor – a significant size upgrade from the 1/2″ sensor in the Mavic Air 2 – as well as AirSense. But while the promo is quite convincing at first, there’s clues that suggest to me that it’s fake.

DJI’s upcoming FPV drone leaked with a complete unboxing video and flight footage

DJI’s hotly-anticipated FPV drone has been leaked (again). And we’re not just talking about a photo or two this time, but an entire unboxing video, courtesy of SpiderMonkey FPV who mirrored the original video after it was taken down. The packaging in the video is the full FPV combo kit which includes the drone itself, controller and the new DJI V2 goggles.

Obviously, the drone still hasn’t been released yet and the “NOT FOR SALE” and “DISPLAY DEMO” stickers indicate that this is a pre-production or display model in preparation for the expected official launch next month. The unboxing, though, shows everything so far. SpiderMonkey FPV also posted a separate video containing some FPV drone footage recorded by the goggles.

B&H’s entire Sony A7S III review video has leaked online hours ahead of official announcement

Well, we knew a B&H video for the Sony A7S III would be coming as soon as the announcement was official, but it looks like it’s leaked out a little early. It’s been uploaded to the YouTube channel House of Intent, although they don’t say how they acquired the video and I wouldn’t like to make a guess, although it is only 720p resolution, so it’s unlikely they had access to the original source.

But it is the complete 16-minute review, going over just about every feature the Sony A7S III will have to offer. Obviously, there’s a big focus on video in the review, as it’s a video-centric camera, and while it doesn’t offer 8K RAW, it has no recording limits and a new passive cooling system means it’s far less likely to overheat.

Leaked photos show what Pixel 4’s “astrophotography mode” is capable of

by 5 Comments

Just like the previous models, the upcoming Google Pixel 4 smartphone will be aimed at photographers. In a recently leaked promo video, we saw that it will feature a dedicated “astrophotography mode.” But now, there are some sample photos that show us what exactly Pixel 4 is capable of when shooting in the dark. And I have to admit, it looks promising.
