DJI officially registered the new Mavic Air 2 drone on the FCC’s database. DronDJ writes:

The Mavic Air 2 will slot in between the Mavic Mini and the well known Mavic 2 series, making it a great combination of small size and power, hopefully including some of the features present on the Mavic 2 series such as 360-degree obstacle avoidance, OcuSync 2.0, and the downward-facing LED light.

The new drone will also include the new ADS-B sensor which would allow the drone to pick up and let other aircraft in the area know its there. Where a message will then be shown in the app letting you know an aircraft is nearby. The Mavic Air 2 is likely to be over the 250-gram limit as DJI already has it covered with the Mavic Mini, so be prepared to register the drone.

There are some wild rumors about a possible EOS-R7 APS-C camera coming in 2021. Without having any knowledge yet if this is really going to happen I have near zero doubts that this will eventually happen. The reason is quite simple. In this shrinking market it makes absolute ZERO sense for Canon to continue the EOS-M system.

I am pretty sure we will get an APS-C camera within 2 years and that current EOS-M users might be offered a big trade-in program to switch over.

Two new rumors today:

1. Fujirumors says there is a new XF 70-300mm X Mount Lens on the Fuji roadmap
2. And Nokishita says the Canon EOS C300 Mark III to be announced on April 20

Now that’s unusual to see. A couple of weeks ago Sony announced that it will have a product launch on April 20. Weird enough today Canon announced it will have a product launch event on April 20 too.

Now before you get too excited know that this is stuff that was supposed to be unveiled at the NAB show: Which means expect new camcorder and Cine lenses. I hope Sony will at leats tease us something about the future A7sIII…but my hopes may be misplaced :(

There are reports that a new high megapixel Canon speculated to be either an 80 megapixel or 150 megapixel (very unlikely) is currently being tested. I think there’s a strong possibility we will see something like this. Between the R5 and R6 cameras that are coming, it makes sense that Canon would offer a camera for high resolution shooting.

CanonWatch reports this list of EOS-M lenses that might be announced within the next two years:

• EF-M 15mm f/2 STM
• EF-M 52mm f/2 STM
• EF-M 62mm f/4 Macro IS STM
• EF-M 18-45mm f/2.8-4 IS STM
• EF-M 100-300mm f/5.6-8 IS STM

I still think Canon should kill the EOS-M line and make EOS-R APS-C cameras instead.

In a response to one of our readers OPC Optics (owner of Meyer Optics) confirmed the new Biotar 58mm and 75mm lenses will be released later this year.
