GoPro will unveil a new generation of cameras at the 2026 NAB Show this month (April 18–22). Here is the first leaked picture of one of the upcoming models – you can clearly see the larger lens, indicating a bigger sensor:


Here is what to expect from the new GoPro camera:

  • GP3 Processor (core upgrade): GoPro’s first new chip in 5 years – a custom 5nm SoC with >2× the pixel processing power of the old GP2, plus a dedicated AI Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for real-time scene recognition, subject detection, and smarter image processing.
  • Larger sensors: Expected across the lineup (teasers show cinematic macro, natural bokeh, and shallow depth-of-field shots that go far beyond typical action-cam footage).
  • Massive low-light & image quality jump: improved low-light performance, better dynamic range, reduced noise, and more cinematic rendering.
  • Higher resolution & frame rates: Strong speculation of 8K video (or at least much higher than Hero 13), plus improved high-frame-rate options (e.g., 4K at 240 fps) thanks to the extra processing headroom.
  • Better battery life & thermals: Significantly longer runtimes and “bulletproof” reliability in high-heat conditions – no more early overheating shutdowns.
  • AI & pro features: Enhanced stabilization, smarter auto-settings, improved audio, and overall professional-level image quality in a compact, rugged body.
  • Multiple new cameras expected

Here are some speculations on what Panasonic could announce for the 25th anniversary of LUMIX in 2026:

  • LUMIX S1H II: a long-overdue true successor to the S1H with 6K/8K internal recording, ProRes RAW, advanced cooling, pro connectivity (IP control, etc.), and cinema-grade tools in a compact mirrorless body. This would directly address community requests and position LUMIX strongly in the pro video market.
  • LUMIX S9 II: A compact full-frame camera with hot shoe/EVF improvements.
  • LUMIX S5 III or S5R: a new flagship model equipped with a new generation of AI AF system.
  • LUMIX LX100 III: a successor to the popular premium compact. Expected updates to sensor/processor, EVF, touchscreen, and modern video features. Ties directly to LUMIX’s compact-camera origins and the current “compact renaissance.”
  • Micro Four Thirds revival (e.g., GM5 successor or GX9 III): Panasonic has not announced a MFT camera since 2024 (Panasonic LUMIX GH7 and Panasonic LUMIX G97).
  • Special anniversary edition camera: a limited-edition camera with special badging – Panasonic has done similar things for past milestones.

Fujifilm registered a new F260001 camera in Asia that will use X-Processor 6. Fujiaddict reports that this will most likely be the Fujifilm X-T6:

“This camera will likely be the Fujifilm X-T6, but there is also a small chance that it could be the Fujifilm X-Pro4 or Fujifilm X-H3.
