The Sony FX3 Is About to Face Serious Competition with two major announcements coming up:
- Canon C50 – 32MP Full-Frame Cine Camera on September 9
- Nikon Zr – 24MP Full-Frame Cine Camera on September 10
But what I didn’t expect… is DJI entering the battlefield! Until now, I honestly believed the rumors about a DJI full-frame mirrorless camera were nothing more than wild speculation. But today, two new hints surfaced — and they’re hard to ignore:
1. The Leaked Teaser
A well-known DJI influencer briefly shared a teaser for an upcoming DJI event on September 15. One of my readers managed to grab a quick (and rough) screenshot before it disappeared. There’s not much to see, but the teaser’s vibe clearly hints at interchangeable lenses — and you can even spot the silhouette of what looks like a boxy FX3-style cine camera.
2. The YouTube Tester Clue
A German YouTuber recently posted a hands-on video with a new cine camera — but here’s the twist: He says it’s not from Canon, and the camera body is blurred out. What isn’t hidden, though, is the Viltrox PL-to-L mount adapter he’s using — which all but confirms this is an unreleased, super compact L-mount cine camera. Sure, this could still be a new Panasonic…But what if it’s DJI?
So while I’m still a bit skeptical… I have to admit, I’m starting to take this a lot more seriously. If true, this could be great news for the entire camera industry — because DJI entering the game would absolutely shake things up and push the traditional Japanese giants to step up their innovation.
Here are the rumored DJI mirrorless camera specs:
- Full Frame L-mount cine camera
- Cine focused
- Integrated viewfinder just like this Sony model (but less pronounced)
- Hasselblad X2DII Color science and ICON menu
- Announcement on September 15, 8am EST time
