It offers an array of new features without seemingly breaking new ground, but overall it's a polished upgrade, and becomes the most obvious DJI Mini 4K rival.

With the Atom 2, Potensic has also introduced its first after-sale...

Nikon launches two cheaper RED cinema cameras plus its own cine lens – and it's a sucker punch to Canon Nikon announces Z-mount versions of the RED V-Raptor and RED Komodo The Nikkor Z 28-135mm F/4 PZ cine lens was launched simultaneously Since Nikon's RED takeover, we've seen permanent price drops for select RED cameras Nikon's RED takeover is in full effect, following the launch of two RED cinema cameras with Nikon's Z-mount; the RED V-Raptor and RED Komodo. The Z-mount versions were launched alongside Nikon's own new cinema lens too, the Nikkor Z 28-135mm F/4 PZ. Nikon instantly became a major player in cinema cameras when it acquired RED Digital Cameras in March 2024 , and it's taken less than a year for us to see the fruit of the takeover, with Z-mount versions of two super popular RED cine cameras in the filmmaking industry. It's a sucker punch to Canon – the RED Komodo 6K was previously only available with Canon's RF-mount, but its ...

Humans not needed: AI-powered autonomous drones fused with RFID technology set to revolutionize warehousing operations for better or worse? Verity drones can scan 1,000 RFID tags per second with an accuracy rate of 99.9% RFID-enabled drones enhance visibility and real-time item tracking beyond traditional gate systems Technology handles low-priority tasks, ensuring human roles remain safe for now, but the future is uncertain Verity, On, and Maersk recently collaborated to revamp warehouse operations through a combination of AI-powered drones and RFID technology. Developed by Verity in Zurich, Switzerland, the autonomous drones navigate warehouse aisles independently while scanning RFID tags with precision. The pilot project aims to enhance inventory tracking by integrating these two advanced systems, enabling greater visibility, control, and real-time item tracking beyond traditional RFID gate systems, thereby removing the need for human intervention. The power of RFID-en...

SUPERb: Chinese researchers just designed and built a flying robot that looks like a precursor to Matrix's laser-focused Sentinels LiDAR helps SUPER to detect and avoid even the thinnest obstacles The drone can track moving targets in dense forests SUPER's real-time spatial mapping allows it to operate effectively even in low-light conditions A team of researchers at the University of Hong Kong has designed and tested an advanced aerial robot capable of navigating complex environments at high speeds of up to 20 meters per second while maintaining precise control. Named SUPER, the quadcopter drone uses cutting-edge LiDAR technology to detect and avoid obstacles, even thin wires that have posed challenges for traditional drones. In research published on Science Robotics (via Techxplore ), the team noted while SUPER has potential applications in search and rescue, its ability to operate autonomously in unknown environments suggests it could also be used for law enforc...

Canon’s rumored PowerShot V1 point-and-shoot could hit the sensor sweet spot – and be first of two new PowerShots for 2025 Rumors suggest that a Canon PowerShot V1 is en route, with a 24MP sensor that's "close to Micro Four Thirds" in size It could be joined later this year by a PowerShot SX70 HS bridge camera successor Those two additions would make for a hugely varied PowerShot V-series lineup There's a lot of hype right now about the rumored Canon PowerShot V1. The new point-and-shoot camera is supposedly set to land as early as March, and would signal a renewed commitment from Canon to making compact cameras – which could be a smart move, given that compacts are enjoying something of a comeback . We don't have too much product info to go off right now, but the suggested sensor size is only going to get compact camera fans more excited. According to Canon Rumors , the PowerShot V1 will feature a 24MP sensor that's "close to Micro Four Thirds...

Canon compact cameras tipped for a big return with rumored Powershot V1 – and I think that's Canon's most exciting play for 2025 Canon rumored to reenter the compact camera game with new Powershot V1 Announcement of new camera tipped for March / April Recent viral model Powershot G7 X Mark III could be discontinued  Point-and-shoot digital cameras making a comeback wasn't on my 2024 bingo card – after all, smartphones pretty much killed off that market many years ago. However, several models went viral last year, none more so than 2019's Canon Powershot G7 X Mark III , so it seems there's life in the pocket snapper yet. I'm all for it, but as I previously wrote about point-and-shoots for 2025 , no leading brands are actually making new models, and so those looking to buy are left to choose from models several years old, increasingly secondhand. That's fine in a way – the quality of popular and well-reviewed cameras from years back still holds out...

OM System teases imminent launch of its next mirrorless camera, and it looks like the retro beauty that fans have been asking for Official teaser for an OM System mirrorless camera gives us glimpses of a new retro design It includes a color profile dial on its front Launch date is set for February 6 We knew an OM System camera was on its way soon following an official letter in January for the year ahead from the brand's Representative Director and CEO, Shigemi Sugimoto. Now a teaser on OM System's Youtube channel (see below) has revealed the exact launch date, together with glimpses of what looks like a retro beauty. Renderings give us the form factor we can expect – it's similar to existing models like the OM System OM-5 , with a raised bump that's clearly a viewfinder, but seemingly without a hand grip. It's potentially doubling down on a retro design, like we get with the Olympus Pen F . The clearest tease of what is to come is at the start of the v...
