In fact, rumors suggest DJI is accelerating its plans.
Wed expect its successor to build on that platform in several key ways.
According to leaks, the Mavic 4 Pro will have a bulbous triple-camera unit that’s redeveloped from the Mavic 3 Pro’s angular unit.
Based on leaked images, the Mavic 4 Pro will feature a larger, more bulbous gimbal-mounted module.
That said, we do expect the Mavic 4 Pro to be a hefty flyer.
When well officially see the Mavic 4 Pro remains to be seen.
According to leaks, the Mavic 4 Pro will have a bulbous triple-camera unit that’s redeveloped from the Mavic 3 Pro’s angular unit.
The Mavic 3 Pro was launched in April 2023, so theres precedent for a spring launch.
Spotted by@Quadro_NewsandNotebookcheck, regulatory papers refer to a DJI Osmo Action 6.
That suggests we could get both standard and Pro versions of the new camera.
According to leaks, the Mavic 4 Pro will have a bulbous triple-camera unit that’s redeveloped from the Mavic 3 Pro’s angular unit.
Whether this will be addressed for the Action 6, only time will tell.
Details are slim, butFCC filingssuggest that DJI does have something in the works.
We dont know much beyond that, nor when its likely to arrive.
The Action 5 Pro only hit the shelves in September 2024, but a successor could already be en route.
DJI Osmo Mobile 7
*Update: This smartphone gimbal was announced on Feb 18, 2025.
Here’s ourDJI Osmo Mobile 7 in-depth review.
With the dust just about settled on those flagship cameras, attention turns to Canons next releases.
Several well-known Canon leakers are confident that thats exactly what the company is working on.
This should make for easier framing at low angles and when tripod-mounted.
Launched alongside theEOS R10in 2022, it was the first flagship APS-C camera for the R mount mirrorless line-up.
The EOS R6 Mark II is one of our favorite full-frame mirrorless cameras, but its rumored successor should be better equipped to outdo the Nikon Z6 III.
The first-gen R7 was already a rapid camera for sports and wildlife, with electronic burst speeds hitting 30fps.
That sensor could also eradicate rolling shutter.
Exactly what this sensor will look like isnt clear.
The EOS R7 remains one of the best crop sensor mirrorless cameras available, and it’s rumored successor could offer best-in-class features for sports and wildlife photography.
The EOS R7 has a 32.5MP CMOS sensor which can record uncrossed 4K/60p video.
A rumored model that youll find discussed in several forums is the Canon EOS RC.
The name comes fromCanonrumors, which credits an inside source with a solid reporting record.
Sony has a cinema-focused ‘FX’ range of mirrorless cameras and Canon could be tempted to follow suit with an all-new affordable option.
Beyond that, though, precious little is known about the EOS RC.
As interesting as a video-first EOS RC would be, its by no means a certainty.
If that is the case, where would that leave the EOS RC?
Other sources have suggested that Canon might go a completely different way with the EOS RC.
Rumors of a retro-style Canon mirrorless camera have been circulating for years.
Could 2025 be the year it happens?
The rumored Sony A7 V, which would succeed the A7 IV (above), could be one of 2025’s standout cameras.
So far, that hasnt come to anything.
Commenting on if and when we might actually see one would be a guess at best.
Examples could be improved autofocus subject recognition, and the same automatic video framing as seen on theSony ZV-E1.
Too many years have passed to believe that Sony is still invested in its video-focused A7S series of mirrorless cameras. A successor to the small but powerful FX3 is more likely.
It lacks a viewfinder or mechanical shutter, however, which makes it less than ideal for stills photography.
We’ve written about the5 upgrades we’d like to see in a potential FX3 II.
We agree but perhaps its just wishful thinking?
If recent premium compact camera trends are anything to go by, there’s plenty of reason for Sony to resurrect its RX1 series in 2025 – an RX1R III would rival the popular Leica Q3 and Fujifilm X100VI.
Fujifilm rumors for 2025
Talk of Fujifilm rumors for 2025 should start with what were not getting.
If certain industry sources are correct, we wont be seeing a follow-up to theX-T200this year.
Nor does it seem that a sequel to theX-Pro3is on the horizon.
So what can we expect from Fujifilm in 2025?
Four years after the Fujifilm X-E4 hit shelves, its formula remains appealing.
When the X-E4 was discontinued, theX-T5became the default alternative for photographers.
The X-mount Fujifilm X-E4 became a popular alternative to the X100V when it was sold out in 2023 and 2024. Rumors suggest that an X-E5 could be en route, with much of the same tech as 2024’s X100VI plus swappable lenses.
A rumored revival in 2025 carries a lot of promise.
We think it will also use Fujifilms latest 40MP APS-C sensor.
Either way, theres a lot of excitement around the arrival of the X-E5, and for good reason.
The Fujifilm GFX50R is one of the smallest digital medium-format cameras available, but Fujifilm could deliver and even smaller medium-format compact in 2025.
If and when it arrives, it wont be the most powerful camera of the year.
That would make theGFX100RF, as its expected to be called, a pretty enticing prospect.
That would make it a compelling alternative to the beautifulLeica Q3.
The Instax Wide Evo was launched in January 2025 and costs a princely sum of $349.95 / £319.99.
Like that camera, the GFX100RF is likely to appeal to a niche market.
For starters, it wont come cheap.
Wed also expect it to be a camera better suited to portraits and landscapes, rather than fast action.
A tool for still scenes, rather than the streets.
That being said, the GFX100RF is an exciting camera for several reasons.
That undercut could see it become a genuine and compelling alternative.
The Nikon Z5 was a long-time TechRadar favorite full-frame mirrorless camera for beginners, and a successor, if priced right, could quash rivals.
At almost five years old, though, its due for an update.
That could arrive as early as the first quarter of 2025.
That chip could also bring burst speeds up from the 4.5fps of the original Z5.
The Nikon Z9 won TechRadar’s Camera of the year 2022 award. Will a faster upgrade appear in 2025?
This spec package would make the Z5 II pretty similar to the retro-chicNikon Zfon paper.
Dialling this back for the Z5 II would give clearer differentiation between the two models.
Being an entry-level full-frame camera, we wouldnt expect Nikon to do anything too exotic in the video department.
The Nikon Z50 II supports RED Luts color profiles. Could we see more fruit from Nikon’s 2024 acquisition of cinema brand RED Digital Cameras in 2025?
We think itll be capable of 4K / 30p 10-bit video and feature dual SD UHS-II card slots.
Nikon Z9 II / Z9H
Talk of a successor to the flagshipZ9has been circulating for several years.
The question now is whether Nikon will return fire.
The evidence is presently pretty slim.
Read discussions online and youll find that speculation broadly divides into two camps.
In essence, everything the Z9 was capable of, but dialled up higher to rival the EOS R1.
Is the GoPro Max 2 the most rumored camera in recent memory? Supposedly updating the Max (above), the future 360-degree camera’s launch has been delayed time and again.
The Nikon Z9 already delivers shooting performance thats sufficient for most professionals.
Nikon cinema camera
Nikon surprised the videography world last year byacquiring RED Digital Cameraoutright.
What this means for Nikon cameras isnt immediately clear.
GoPro made waves with the Hero 13 Black’s new lens mount that hosts auto-detected Lens Mods, such as the new anamorphic lens (above). Might we see more Lens Mods in 2025 to further expand what’s possible with GoPro’s flagship action cams?
But its fair to say that Nikon isnt seen as a natural choice by many video professionals.
That could soon change.
With RED now under the Nikon umbrella, the possibilities are broad.
The Panasonic Lumix S1H during our in-depth review.
That could well mean support for REDs R3D codec on future Nikon hybrids.
Wed expect to see a hardware crossover, too.
The action camera giant also intrdocued a host of new 360-degree based edits in the GoPro Quik app.
A potential Leica M camera with EVF could be a lot like the Leica Q3 (above), but with interchangeable lens mount.
Woodman informed investors that a new edition of the 360-degree action camera would be arriving in 2025.
This is later than originally planned, it seems, because GoPro had previously estimated a Q4 2024 launch.
It could also get a new, physically larger sensor to improve dynamic range and low light capabilities.
Such a move would mark the single biggest design overhaul that Leica’s M-series has ever seen.
Leica’s analog and digital M-series cameras utilize an optical rangefinder to compose and manually focus shots.
One thing’s for sure, aLeica M-series camera with EVFwill polarize Leica fans.
The original Lumix S1R, launced all the way back in 2019.
Our in-depth review is coming soon.
So what does 2025 have in store?
This could bethecamera that sets the bar for video creatives at its price point.
The Ricoh GR IIIx during our in-depth review is a superb if flawed everyday camera.
Leica and Panasonic’s alliance is no secret, with the two sharing a lot of L-mount camera tech.
Naturally then, we’re keen to see what might come next in the series.
According to Pentax, the next film camera we can expect will be a proper SLR.
2024’s Pentax 17 was the first camera launched as part of the Pentax Film Project, and there are supposedly more cameras to come.
Pentax’s Film Project was announced in 2022, and the first camera came two years later.
That affordable compact film camera with a solid warranty was indeed the new Pentax 17.
What will come next we don’t know.
but the fully mechanical SLR could be very exciting for serious photographers.
New releases for 2025
Many cameras in this rumors round up materialize for real.
