DJI is ready to announce the new Mavic Air 2 drone

DJI officially registered the new Mavic Air 2 drone on the FCC’s database. DronDJ writes:

The Mavic Air 2 will slot in between the Mavic Mini and the well known Mavic 2 series, making it a great combination of small size and power, hopefully including some of the features present on the Mavic 2 series such as 360-degree obstacle avoidance, OcuSync 2.0, and the downward-facing LED light.

The new drone will also include the new ADS-B sensor which would allow the drone to pick up and let other aircraft in the area know its there. Where a message will then be shown in the app letting you know an aircraft is nearby. The Mavic Air 2 is likely to be over the 250-gram limit as DJI already has it covered with the Mavic Mini, so be prepared to register the drone.

BCNranking reports a dramatic 50% sales decrease of mirrorless camera in March

Now this could be the endgame for some camera manufacturers: BCNranking reported that sales of mirrorless cameras dropped by 50% in March. And this is the report for the Japanese camera market only…Japan didn’t even shut down their whole economy like EU and US did!

The virus is here ot stay and we can expect new infection waves the coming months until we will get the vaccine in 2021 (hopefully). Will some companies may take the chance to drop out of this business?

Wanna bet Canon will launch the APS-C EOS-R7 in 2021 and slowly kill the EOS-M system?

There are some wild rumors about a possible EOS-R7 APS-C camera coming in 2021. Without having any knowledge yet if this is really going to happen I have near zero doubts that this will eventually happen. The reason is quite simple. In this shrinking market it makes absolute ZERO sense for Canon to continue the EOS-M system.

I am pretty sure we will get an APS-C camera within 2 years and that current EOS-M users might be offered a big trade-in program to switch over.
