These 9 new cameras could still land in 2025, according to rumors – here's what to expect from Sony, GoPro and more 2025 is shaping up to be a blockbuster year for camera fans, with the rumor mill churning out whispers of bold upgrades, surprise revivals and entirely new designs. From pro-grade flagships to pocketable powerhouses, manufacturers seem ready to flex every bit of innovation they’ve been holding back. Nikon, Canon, Sony, DJI, Insta360 – no corner of the market looks safe from a shake‑up. We’re talking faster bursts, smarter autofocus, bigger sensors and design overhauls that could redefine entire product lines. Some of these leaks feel almost too good to be true, but if even half of them land as expected, 2025’s second half could be one of the most exciting stretches in recent memory for stills shooters, content creators and serious filmmakers alike. Here’s a look at nine rumored cameras that might just steal the spotlight before the year is out – and why you shoul...

The DJI Osmo Nano is the latest DJI drone to leak ahead of its official release

The DJI Osmo Nano is the latest DJI drone to leak ahead of its official release Images of the DJI Osmo Nano have leaked The device is a compact action camera It could be launched in the coming weeks It's not easy to keep up with all the DJI product launches and rumors of launches at the moment, and the latest device to leak online is the DJI Osmo Nano: a super-compact action camera that seems to be a successor of sorts to the DJI Action 2 . Well-known tipster Igor Bogdanov (via Notebookcheck ) has posted pictures supposedly showing off the DJI Osmo Nano, and it certainly looks small. It also looks quite different to anything we've seen before in this category. However, we don't get much beyond the images, so there's no word yet on specs, camera quality, price, or anything else. Based on the designs shown here, it seems the gadget may have a detachable display, like the DJI Action 2. Based on previous leaks , it seems the DJI Osmo Nano is scheduled to launch a...

TechRadar has a new #1 robot vacuum recommendation – here's how the Roborock Qrevo Curv snagged the top spot

TechRadar has a new #1 robot vacuum recommendation – here's how the Roborock Qrevo Curv snagged the top spot Big news from TechRadar's best robot vacuum ranking: there's a new top bot in town – the Roborock Qrevo Curv. We absolutely loved this model when we tested it for our Roborock Qrevo Curv review, but at that point it was just a little too pricey to go in the #1 spot. Now, prices have tumbled, value for money has risen, and I've decided it's time to shift it into pole position. It's not even that old – it came out in October 2024. It's just that Roborock is releasing new bots at such a rate that anything that's not a 2025 launch is ripe for discount. At list price, the Curv costs $1,599.99 / £1,299.99, but recently I've seen it drop as low as $899.99 / £850. It's still not cheap (and I'll include some great alternatives below for those on a tighter budget) but if you can afford it it's well worth the investment. This is a serio...

I review drones for a living – and I rarely encounter something as game-changing as this upcoming water sports drone

I review drones for a living – and I rarely encounter something as game-changing as this upcoming water sports drone HoverAir Aqua is the world’s first waterproof self-flying camera Records video at 4K 100fps from a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor Weighs less than 249g I think the camera drone market is about to undergo a sea change (pun very much intended), thanks to the upcoming HoverAir Aqua from Zero Zero Robotics. Teased on the company’s website, this small, life jacket-orange quadcopter is the first truly surprising flyer I’ve seen in ages. As a product reviewer, I’ve tested dozens of drones over the past decade or so, and while they’ve got better and better in terms of flying ability, battery life and camera performance, it’s not often that a new announcement introduces me to something completely unforeseen. The Aqua does that, by being the first water-native drone for the masses. Most drones need to be flown very carefully around bodies of water, as the reflective surface can f...

DJI's first 360 drone could land sooner than expected to take on Insta360's Antigravity debut –here's what to expect

DJI's first 360 drone could land sooner than expected to take on Insta360's Antigravity debut –here's what to expect Reports claim DJI’s first 360 drone will weigh under 250g It's allegedly based on similar 8K camera tech to the Osmo 360 The launch is tipped before the end of 2025 DJI is widely expected to release one new ultra-lightweight drone this year, with the hotly-anticipated DJI Mini 5 Pro seemingly gearing up for a 2025 launch. But if recent online rumblings are to be believed, though, the company might actually be announcing two models by the end of the year – with one being an entirely new type of drone based around a 360 camera. We’ve already had official confirmation that Antigravity is prepping its own lightweight 360 drone powered by Insta360 camera technology – although just via a teaser, with specifics remaining unknown for now. And, if a report at Notebookcheck is accurate, it’ll have a competitor right off the bat. The report details rumor...

DJI Mini 5 Pro leaks reveal potential specs and design, but one big question remains

DJI Mini 5 Pro leaks reveal potential specs and design, but one big question remains A leaked render of the DJI Mini 5 Pro seems to reveal the drone's design A separate image of the box may have also revealed its specs The leaks hint at a 1-inch sensor and LiDAR-powered autofocus The DJI Mini 5 Pro seems unlikely to hit its previously-rumored August 7 launch date, but fans of tiny drones have at least been given some solace in the form of two big leaks – and they hint at a little flying camera that could be worth waiting a little longer for. Firstly, a render of the rumored successor to one of the world's best drones was shared on the Discord channel for Drone-Hacks , giving us what could be our first look at the drone. If the image is correct, the Mini 5 Pro will look very similar to its Mini 4 Pro predecessor, aside from a larger camera module and the inclusion of two forward-facing LiDAR sensors for improved obstacle avoidance. That LiDAR-powered feature has previ...

ICYMI: the week's 7 biggest tech stories from DJI and Insta360 trading blows to OpenAI getting scared by its own AI This week DJI and Insta360 had a Freaky Friday situation as they announced a 360 camera and a drone respectively, tech the other is usually known for. We also heard that OpenAI is scared of its next AI, and the UK faced the Online Saftey Act. You can catch up on these stories and more in this week's catch up of the seven biggest tech news stories. 7. We Found My Skechers (Image credit: Skechers) This week, Skechers debuted the new Find My Skechers. They look like your run-of-the-mill sneakers on the outside, but hidden in each heel is a cutout that’s perfect for an Apple AirTag. This Bluetooth tracker can then be used to help you keep track of your child if you’re out in an unfamiliar place, or help you locate any lost shoes, whether they were misplaced while out and about or while getting ready in the mad rush to get to school. Though when we poll...

DJI Osmo 360 officially lands – here are 5 ways it beats the Insta360 X5 and 2 ways it doesn't

DJI Osmo 360 officially lands – here are 5 ways it beats the Insta360 X5 and 2 ways it doesn't After years owning the 360 camera space with some of the best 360 cameras, most recently the X5 , Insta360 finally has some proper competition with the arrival of the DJI Osmo 360. They could soon be joined by the GoPro Max 2 too (if GoPro does indeed bring its long-awaited 360 camera to market). DJI has a slightly different take on the format to Insta360, delivering what it says are several industry firsts, most notably twin 1-inch sensors. The immediate question, therefore, is which model is best? Can the Osmo 360 dethrone our current favorite, the X5? You can learn more about DJI's first 360 camera in our in-depth Osmo 360 review . We also have a hands-on versus feature on the way, for which we're pitting the Osmo 360 against the Insta360 X5 in several scenarios to see which model comes out on top. For now, let's look at how the Osmo 360 and X5 compare based on the s...

I test drones for a living – here's why Insta360's Antigravity debut is the most exciting one for years

I test drones for a living – here's why Insta360's Antigravity debut is the most exciting one for years Antigravity's Insta360-powered first drone is focussed on simplicity 360 drone with 'immersive flight' is set for August launch It will shoot 8K video and weigh under 250g There’s a new player entering the drone game, and I couldn’t be more excited. This week’s announcement (or should that be “pre-announcement”?) from Antigravity teasing its forthcoming 360 drone means that market leader DJI is about to get a major rival. The Antigravity drone, developed by Insta360 and some unspecified third parties, isn’t a straight-up competitor to DJI’s range; it’s instead taking things in a different direction. By offering 8K 360-degree capture of everything around it – like a flying version of the superb Insta360 X5 camera – this is the first ever drone to offer immersive all-around capture out of the box. Details are scant at the moment, but Antigravity’s pres...

Has DJI just met its match? Insta360 unveils project Antigravity – the world’s first 360 drone

Has DJI just met its match? Insta360 unveils project Antigravity – the world’s first 360 drone Antigravity is incubated by Insta360 A world-first 360 drone with 'immersive flight' is set for August launch It'll shoot 8K video and weigh less than 250g Insta360 and DJI are entering each other's worlds this week, with Insta360 today unveiling Antigravity – a 360-degree drone project years in the making – and DJI set to launch its first 360 camera on July 31 . Pass me the popcorn. Antigravity's philosophy is simple: 360 immersive flight with the world's first 360 drone. And the project has a leg up given that it is incubated by Insta360 – the world's leading 360 camera maker. Details are thin on the ground; we know the upcoming drone will introduce 'several world-firsts in drone design', that it is set for an August launch; that it'll shoot 8K video; and that it will weigh less than 250g, which makes it accessible to beginner and expert pil...
