Dronedj spotted some new images and specs of the new Mavic 2. The listing in the catalog provides us with some details about the new foldable drone. It says:

“The Mavic 2 is a small yet powerful drone with 1080p video transmission and up to 8km (5 miles) transmission distance and a max speed of 20m/s (45mph). It will turn the sky into your creative canvas. Its compact size and 31-minute max flight time makes this one of DJI’s most sophisticated flying cameras ever. Omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS and Active Track 2.0 give you the confidence to take to the sky and capture your moment. Dolly Zoom (zoom version only). DJI Mavic 2 Pro & DJI Mavic 2 Zoom.”

The new DJI Mavic 2 will apparently come in two versions:

• The DJI Mavic 2 Pro with 1-inch CMOS sensor Hasselblad camera
• The DJI Mavic 2 Zoom with 2x optical zoom (24mm – 48mm)

The new DJI Mavic 2 will have:

• A top speed of 45mph vs. 40 mph for the original Mavic Pro
• 31-minute flight time vs. 27 minutes for the original Mavic Pro
• 1080p OcuSync video transmission for up to 5 miles
• Omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS
• Active Track 2.0
• Dolly Zoom (zoom version only)

Nikon confirmed the August 23 announcement date and launched that countdown page. There is also a new teaser image showing the classic red mark on the HUGE grip:

Canonwatch reports:

We got another suggestion Canon will announce their first full frame mirrorless camera before the end of 2018. Currently, our best sources suggest an announcement in the second week of September 2018.

Let’s see if Canon can take away the spotlight from the new Nikon FF…

Here is the first small image of the new Canon’s “PowerShot SX 740 HS”. Rumored specs:

Within the new FF mirrorless website code you can find a line disclosing a livestream event for August 23. I guess that’s when Nikon will officially announce the new camera!

Nikon made a mistake and did upload this image of their new Nikon Full Frame Z mirrorless camera on their website (they now removed it). That mount ring is really big and the camera grip seems to be very deep too. I expect this to be quite a bit bigger than the Sony A7 series. The lens might be the new 24-70mm f/4.0 zoom.
