Here is an updated list of upcoming/rumored DJI product announcements:

DJI Avata 360 drone: expected to feature dual 1-inch sensors for 360° capture, supporting up to 8K 60fps HDR video in 360 mode, with options for 4K 60fps in single-lens mode.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4: 1-inch CMOS sensor, 4K/120fps video recording in 10-bit D-Log M, a 3-axis gimbal, full-pixel fast focus, a 2-inch rotatable OLED touchscreen, enhanced battery life up to around 200 minutes, and new dedicated zoom and customizable buttons. A Pro variant is expected later in May or June 2026, potentially featuring dual 1/1.1-inch sensors (wide-angle and 2-4x telephoto), Hasselblad color science, optical zoom, variable aperture (f/1.7-f/2.8), improved low-light performance, and possibly 8K shooting capabilities


DJI Osmo 360 II: FCC registration for the DJI Osmo 360 II was completed on December 9, 2025, with ID 2ANDR-OQ0022512, confirming it’s not on the prohibited equipment list and eligible for sale in the US. The new model features a 2,150 mAh battery at 3.86V (8.3 Wh), representing about a 10% capacity increase over the original Osmo 360’s 1,950 mAh (7.5 Wh) for longer runtime. Wireless capabilities include Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with dual-band dual-antenna MIMO (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands) and Bluetooth supporting multiple modulations (GFSK, π/4-DQPSK, 8DPSK).




DJI Lito X1 and Liro 1 drones: The DJI Lito X1 and Lito 1 have received FCC approval in the US in late 2025, allowing them to be sold despite the DJI ban that started on December 23, 2025. The Lito 1 is rumored to replace or target the same entry-level market as the DJI Mini 4K, aimed at beginners, while the Lito X1 may succeed the Mini 5 Pro or serve as a more advanced, creator-focused option in the sub-250g category (both models are expected to be foldable, lightweight drones weighing under 250 grams). Some of the rumored specs are: Wi-Fi 6 support, multi-band connectivity, SDR radios, and an RF exposure class of 200 mm. The Lito X1 may feature internal storage of around 22GB or 42GB with microSD expansion, plus advanced sensing like O5 and 5G for potentially unlimited range.

DJI Osmo Action 7: Expected in late 2026, with rumored pricing for the standard combo starting around $349–$429, with higher-end bundles or a potential Pro model reaching up to $579. Potential upgrade to 8K video recording, possibly at 60fps. A larger senor is a possibility.

The new Antigravity A1 drone with 8K 360 video is already on sale

DJI drone ban now in effect in the US: here is the list of DJI drones that can still be legally purchased in the US

Yongnuo recently unveiled a mysterious new lens, reportedly equipped with its newly developed VCM motor (pictured above). The new lens will be an ultra-wide-angle (I’m guessing 18mm). An E-mount version will be available first, with the Z-mount version following later. In the images shown, the new lens appears roughly the same size as their 50mm lens and is said to have a 58mm filter thread.

Here is a demo of the AF capabilities of the new VCM motor:

Canon released its FY2025 financial results – here is the section for the Imaging Business:

As for the size of the interchangeable-lens camera market, driven by an increase in new users, especially young people, and by new product launches from various manufacturers, the market reached 6.7 million units in 2025, 300,000 more than the previous year. And in 2026, we expect a further increase of 100,000 units for a total of 6.8 million units.

In the fourth quarter, we posted strong sales of the EOS R6 Mark III, a new full-frame mirrorless camera that we launched in November. We also increased sales of entry-level models during the year-end selling season. Driven by strong demand, sales of compact cameras doubled from the previous year due to increased supply through the further expansion of production. As a result, the overall camera business posted double digit sales growth in the fourth quarter to record an 8% increase for the full year.

In 2026 as well, the number of new camera users, especially younger people, is expected to continue increasing. To capture this demand, we will maintain the growth of our entry level models, such as the EOS R50 and EOS R100, as well as the EOS R50V, which is designed with a strong focus on shooting video. For full frame models, we will increase unit sales, with a focus on the new EOS R6 Mark III. As for lenses, supported by strong camera sales, we will promote sales expansion based on our expanded lineup. For compact cameras, we plan to further increase production in response to the strong demand that continues to generate backorders. This will allow us to significantly increase sales, and for the overall camera business, achieve our target to increase full-year net sales by 8%, which is similar to what we achieved in 2025.

After teasing “We’re back”, today Rollei officially announced the previously reported AF 24mm f/1.8 and 35mm f/1.8 lenses for Sony E and Nikon Z mount.

The new lenses are currently in stock at Foto Erhardt – they are based on the 7Artisans AF f/1.8 lenses.

Rollei already has the AF 85mm f/1.8 lens to complete the trio (see this post):


Additional information on the new lenses:

Rollei AF 24mm f/1.8 lens

  • 24 mm wide angle: Captures more in the picture – without distortion
  • f/1.8 aperture with 11 blades: Sharp at wide aperture, dreamy bokeh
  • VAF Series: Highest resolution for modern full-frame cameras
  • HFT-X Coating: Clear contrasts – even in backlight and at night
  • STM autofocus: Fast, quiet, with face and eye tracking

Rollei AF 35mm f/1.8 lens

  • 35 mm focal length: Natural, balanced – perfect for reportage & street photography
  • f/1.8 aperture with 11 blades: Sharp at wide aperture, soft bokeh
  • VAF Series: Highest resolution for modern full-frame cameras
  • HFT-X Coating: High contrast in backlighting, sun & night
  • STM autofocus: Fast, quiet, with face and eye tracking


Press release:

Designed to meet the highest demands: Rollei AF 24 mm F/1.8 and 35 mm F/1.8

Norderstedt, January 28, 2026.  Rollei is expanding its VAF series and launching two new lenses: the Rollei AF 24 mm F/1.8 for wide-angle photography and the Rollei AF 35 mm F/1.8 as a versatile reportage lens. Both lenses are available now for Sony FE and Nikon Z mounts.

The launch of Rollei’s first lens, the AF 85mm F/1.8, was met with a positive response from professional photographers and enthusiasts alike. The combination of high image quality, precise autofocus, and robust construction at a fair price proved convincing across the board. With the new focal lengths, Rollei is now strategically expanding the VAF series to include two popular focal lengths, thus covering the spectrum from landscape and reportage to portraiture.

24mm wide angle: Ideal for landscape, architecture & astrophotography

The Rollei AF 24mm F/1.8 is the perfect choice for wide-angle photographers who value brightness and image quality. The 11-blade F/1.8 aperture produces a creamy, perfectly round bokeh – even wide open, the image remains sharp and high-contrast. The high-quality optics consist of 14 elements in 11 groups, including 4 ED, 2 HR, and 2 AS lenses, which minimize aberrations and ensure exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness.

The HFT-X coating effectively reduces ghosting and flare, while the fast and quiet STM autofocus with face and eye tracking is optimized for both photos and videos. Despite its robust construction, the all-metal body weighs only about 480 grams. The Sony FE version also features a linear aperture ring for smooth, silent aperture control in video.

With a minimum focusing distance of 0.32 meters, the 24mm lens is also suitable for detailed close-ups. The 62mm filter thread makes it compatible with all common ND and effect filters. Thanks to the USB-C firmware port, updates can be installed in just 30 seconds.

35 millimeters: Versatile for documentation, everyday life & portraiture

The Rollei AF 35mm F/1.8 is the classic reportage focal length, enabling particularly authentic images thanks to its proximity to the natural field of view. Whether street photography, documentary work, or portraits with creative subject isolation – the F/1.8 aperture with 11 blades delivers round, creamy bokeh and excellent sharpness at wide apertures.

The lens consists of 11 elements in 8 groups, including 7 ED, 2 HR, and 2 AS lenses for minimal chromatic aberrations and high resolution across the entire image field. The STM autofocus is fast, precise, and virtually silent – ​​ideal for video and discreet photography.

The robust, all-metal body weighs only about 490 grams, while the HFT-X coating ensures high-contrast, color-accurate images. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.40 meters, even details and close-ups can be captured impressively. The Sony FE version also features a linear aperture ring for video-friendly aperture control.

The AF/MF switch, the freely assignable FN button, and the 62mm filter thread offer intuitive operation. Firmware updates are quick and easy via the USB-C port.

Precision down to the last detail: VAF series with new logo

Customer feedback on the Rollei 85mm F/1.8 revealed a desire for a more understated logo design. Rollei took this feedback seriously and is therefore pleased to present a revised logo alongside the two new focal length lenses: contemporary, understated, and with a clear, modern design language. The new logo emphasizes the professional aspirations of the VAF series without distracting from the essential element – ​​the lens.
