DJI Launches the Osmo 360 II: Flagship 360-Degree Camera With a New 1-Inch HDR Sensor and User-Replaceable Lens
DJI has introduced the Osmo 360 II, a professional 360-degree camera with an industry-first 1-inch square HDR sensor. The design is intended to improve sensor utilization by 25 percent while preserving a full panoramic field of view. It records 8K video at 60fps, offers 14.5 stops of dynamic range, and supports 10-bit color and D-Log M across video formats. AI SuperNight 2.0 and 2.4 μm pixels target cleaner low-light footage. A user-replaceable lens system adds field-serviceability, while DJI Studio exports can move directly into DaVinci Resolve through a dedicated plugin. Battery life reaches 100 minutes of 8K/30 recording, with 80 percent charging in 22 minutes. For professional 360 work, the practical gains are durability, grading flexibility, and a faster edit path.
This compact camera with 40mm lens mirroring human vision and no distracting viewfinder could be the ultimate street camera
Ricoh is preparing a new GR IVx for the GR compact-camera line, built around a 40mm lens intended to reflect a natural, human-vision perspective. The model is presented as a street-photography alternative to relying exclusively on a smartphone, with a compact body and no distracting viewfinder. That combination points toward a deliberately direct shooting experience: the photographer can work with a familiar focal length while keeping the camera unobtrusive in public spaces. The available information identifies the GR IVx as forthcoming rather than detailing its sensor, aperture, price, or release date, so those specifications remain unconfirmed. For street photographers, the concrete appeal is the pairing of a pocketable format and a versatile normal-ish lens, encouraging attention to timing, distance, and framing instead of equipment complexity.
