MAVIC MINI 2 - UPDATE | Latest Leaked Photos and Spec Info

Actually they are not LiPo. I just seen in the battery says Li-ion it means they are 18650 just like before. Probably they are using now the Samsung IRN 30Q

Where are you seeing that? The spec sheet that was posted says "Battery type LiPo 2S."

The actual battery says it. Let me find the unboxing video.

I just saw a video with a shot of the battery that says "Lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery." Also, it says it's 7.7v, whereas the original battery is 7.2v, so they are pulling more power from this one.

That statement makes zero sense.

The sensor size and lens quality isn't going to let the raw file magically be crystal clear at 100% you might at best have more adjustment to white balance and a little more to exposure but it's still going to be a pretty chunky image at 100% as can be seen with the Mavic air 2 jpeg vs dng.

So it's not going to be a magic bullet in the way everyone would hope with the lower quality hardware.

I hope new Mini 2 will be compactible with new EU laws starting 1.1.2021 (class C0 label on the drone).

DJI goggle compatibility??

Leaking continues:

Mini 2 has DNG/RAW and probably 100Mbps 4K.​

?? Yes RAW! ?? So far so good...

• Battery capacity: 5200 mAh Maximum operating time: 31 min

This is impossible, especially to remain under 250gr weight

I haven't been this excited about a new product since the PS3 back in the day! I love my Mini1 but I will definitely be upgrading to the Mini2

You probably don't have any idea what a raw image is, or what extended dynamic range could mean but anyway it's not about the resolution only

If we get support for MiniRaw in programs like DXO and Capture One then yeah, it will make a real difference. Those programs can make a publishable image from an ISO 12800 5D Mk2 mess. They really have come a long way in AI noise reduction and detail enhancement. If there's an image good enough for social media in the JPG, DXO can usually make a high quality image from the RAW output.

The processing power onboard the drone greatly limits the output quality of the JPG images. The bit rate similarly limits the video quality. Even small, tightly packed sensors can get great image quality nowadays, with adequate processing.

DJI drones output the RAW files in DNG format, which is a more open and universally compatible RAW format that can be opened and processed by basically any RAW processing software, unlike most digital cameras that use proprietary RAW formats, those are the ones that need continuous updates from software makers in order to support and be able to open/process the latest camera’s RAW version. But DNG’s don’t have such problem, so any program like DXO and Capture One should be able to process the new Mini 2’s DNG files.
In fact, Adobe even provides the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert all the new camera-specific raw files to the universal DNG raw format, and it’s constantly updated to be able to convert to DNG every new version of proprietary RAW files from the latest camera released.
Well, all camera drones manufactured in the world that support RAW use the universal DNG format, including those rare cheap unknown strange brands, as long as I know.

I know exactly what it is (having shot it for over a decade), I just don't think its going to have that much greater of an advantage that given that specific sensor.

You're comparing a full frame to a 1/2.3" sensor though... Even the raws from my old Pentax Q10 (also a 1/2.3" sensor) wasn't that much greater than the jpeg counterpart in terms of what you could push out of it noise reduction and range though. Main point is, even if it becomes available, it's not going to be some glorious magic bullet like everyone makes it out to be. Look at similar sensors/cameras that happen to have raw capabilities.

Just drop it

Just drop it

Why so arrogant?!
He is right. With a medium quality+ small sensor like the one in the Mini and a good jpeg-generation you don't gain much with RAW (non the less it is nice to have this opportunity).

 

[dirtfishingman]

Here it comes

 

[superfunkmojo]

Does this mean it is available when the store opens on November 4, or not until 8pm Nov 4 = November 5?

they should drop the raw functionality from the Mavic 2 Zoom then as well, seeing as it is such a small sensor. You both don't know what you are talking about. just drop it and move on

Wondering if they mean they will make their official announcement at 8p (maybe on sale on 5th) ?
