Insta360 confirms two mirrorless ILCs, DJI court win, Nikon Z5II firmware
Rumour-heavy, firmware sprinkled
From the Editor
The headline today is Insta360: a CEO confirming two mirrorless ILCs at once, one with a form factor nobody's seen before, is the kind of thing that shifts how you think about the next buying cycle. Elsewhere it's a steady drip — Nikon Z5II firmware fixes a genuine video annoyance, and DJI's military designation gets a partial court reversal the same week US drone tariffs land. Busy enough day, with the Insta360 story doing most of the heavy lifting.
