Like every year, we are approaching quite important dates for action cameras, since GoPro He does not usually miss his annual appointment to present the new range. At the moment the manufacturer is still quite missing, and it is normal that it will say something about it very soon. But the most interesting thing is that there is another competitor that is also rumored, and it is none other than DJI.
The most anticipated GoPro
The launch of the GoPro HERO 12 ended up being a bit weak. Rumors were to blame, which suggested that the manufacturer would launch a camera with a 1-inch sensor. That ultimately did not happen, and of course, what do you think the rumors say this year?
According to several leaks, the supposed GoPro HERO 13 will finally include the 1 inch sensor that so many users have been waiting for for a long time. This would allow for better performance in night scenes, something where GoPro continues to fail on many occasions, in addition to achieving greater image definition.
The information shared ensures that among the list of camera specifications is a Sony sensor that is effectively one inch, so we will see if they finally get it right on this occasion. The problem with the leaks is that the most repeated source is an old acquaintance, since this person was the one who spread the rumor of the HERO 12 with a 1-inch sensor. Will he be right this time?
The return of 360
Another of the rumors that have the most force and with good reason are those that assure that GoPro will finally launch the new GoPro Max 2, the second generation of the 360-degree camera that the manufacturer itself confirmed last year to be developing, and that it would make a lot of sense to finally see it officially. Insta360 has managed to take center stage in drone and 360-degree shots, so GoPro needs an imminent response to counteract the growth of its rival.
We can confirm that MAX 2.0 is in the works. And trust us, it will be worth it. 👀

Two DJI cameras
On the other side we have DJI, who is said to present two cameras, the Action 5 and Action 5 Pro. They will be evolved models of the current Action 4, where the software will play a very important role with extremely attractive functions. There is no clue that points to a 1-inch sensor, so we'll see if GoPro manages to take first place in the race for the largest sensor.
