Insta360 appears to be working on a new compact vlogging camera, and early details suggest it could take a slightly different approach from DJI’s Osmo Pocket lineup.

The device, reportedly called the Insta360 Luna, has been referenced in recent leaks and patent filings. At the company’s annual conference, CEO Liu Jingkang reportedly confirmed that a vlogging-focused camera is in development and said it would launch before July 2026. That likely puts the release window somewhere between March and June, though no exact date has been shared yet.

What makes the Luna interesting is its rumored dual-lens setup. Instead of relying on a single wide sensor and digital crop, the Luna is said to feature two distinct lenses: a standard wide (1x) camera and a dedicated 3x optical telephoto module. If accurate, that would allow users to switch focal lengths without losing image quality, something pocket gimbal cameras haven’t traditionally prioritized.

Based on patent sketches and early reports, the zoom transition could be controlled through a small joystick or touchscreen gestures on a fold-out display. The concept feels closer to smartphone-style zoom switching than the fixed wide-angle approach most pocket cameras use.

Leaks also point to an emphasis on image processing. Reports suggest the Luna may use a dual-stage system, where initial image enhancement happens before final processing. In practical terms, that could mean better noise handling and improved dynamic range, particularly in mixed or low lighting. Of course, how much difference that makes will depend on sensor size and real-world tuning.

For context, the current DJI Osmo Pocket 3 remains one of the most popular compact gimbal cameras in this space. There are also rumors that DJI is preparing an upgraded model with dual cameras, which could arrive before Insta360’s launch window closes.

Vivo, a brand known for its smartphones and high end mobile photography, is reportedly planning to enter the vlogging camera market with a new compact gadget that might be targeting creators and content makers. So here’s everything we know so far.

Vivo Vlogging Camera: New DJI Osmo Pocket Series Rival?

According to a fresh report, the Chinese tech giant is working on a dedicated vlogging camera device that is expected to launch by the end of this year. The new compact vlogging camera that could compete with DJI’s popular Osmo Pocket series of portable gimbal cameras. This would mark a notable expansion for Vivo beyond smartphones and accessories. It also signals its ambition to branch into dedicated imaging hardware that appeals to vloggers who want lightweight, handheld tools that deliver stabilised, high-quality footage without lugging around larger rigs.

Details about Vivo’s vlogging camera remain scarce, and the company has not officially revealed the product name, specs or price. However, insiders say the device is positioned to compete with DJI’s Osmo Pocket lineup, like the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 3. Both of these are pocket friendly cameras that feature mechanical gimbal stabilization, touchscreen controls and high-resolution video capture.

If Vivo’s compact camera sees the light of day in 2026 as tipped, it could give creators a new vlogging camera option outside of popular brands like DJI, GoPro, and Insta360. Vivo has been collaborating with Zeiss for its lens and tuning on its flagship X series of smartphones, so we might also see an expansion of this partnership. Although, this is just a speculation at this point, so take this news with a pinch of salt.

Smartphone cameras are improving with each new model. Nowadays, flagship models feature cameras that can even be used for professional shoots at times.

So, what should you do in such a scenario? Fortunately, Canon has just the right product for you. Canon is entering the vlogging camera market with the innovative new PowerShot V10. Here are the details…

Canon PowerShot V10 captures 4K video at 30 fps

The Canon PowerShot V10 captures 4K video at 30 fps and is perfect for self-recording with its adjustable screen, front and rear record buttons, stereo mics, a 3.5mm mic jack, a Micro HDMI port, and digital image stabilization. Although the 2-inch screen may seem small, it is sufficient for monitoring yourself during recording. The device caters to entry-level vloggers and eliminates the need to invest in professional cameras.

The ISO range is capped at 3200 for 4K filming and 6400 for 1080p. The camera’s sensor effectively uses 13.1 megapixels for video and 15.2 megapixels for stills. It also offers five levels of software-based skin smoothing. The V10 has some useful video features like a built-in neutral density filter and face-detection autofocus. However, it lacks eye detection, log recording, and raw capture for photos. The camera is limited to 8-bit recording with MP4 files.

The PowerShot V10 supports microSD cards and includes a built-in 1,250mAh battery that recharges via USB-C, providing approximately 55 minutes of 4K video recording. The camera is set to launch in June. However, as mentioned earlier, smartphone cameras are also quite suitable for many tasks nowadays.
