I missed that crazy rumor: DJI and Huawei partnership withe the possibility of launching a new mirrorless camera system

A reader pointed me out to this crazy rumor posted on Weibo: According to this DJI and Huawei will work together to eventually launch an entirely new mirrorless camera system:

The news mentioned that DJI has strong technical strength in the field of drones and will apply its unique advanced anti-shake technology and intelligent flight shooting mode to system cameras. Huawei has rich experience and technology in the field of mobile photography, which can bring better image quality and more convenient operation experience.

Now, I really have no clue if this a solid rumor or more like BS. What I do truly believe is that chinese manufacturers have the skills and tech to create a new mirrorless system that can compete with the Japanese companies. And honestly, this would be good for competition!

Wild rumors about a possible Canon R1X

There are now the first wild rumors (meaning they are unconfirmed and not from reliable sources) that Canon will announce the new R1X in 2025. I think this is more like wishful thinking after the great disappointment of the R1. Canon clearly stated that the R1 was the ultimate flagship. However, I bet Canon will learn its lesson and perhaps announce a high-resolution flagship in 2-3 years. But before that we will get a new Sony A1II and a new Nikon Z9II that will raise the bar further.
