Photography news, before it happens

 



Insta360 is partnering with Leica on the development of the upcoming Luna gimbal cameras (previously reported here). Here is a recap of rumored/leaked Insta360 Luna camera specifications:

• Leica co-engineering: Optics, color science, and full-chain calibration tuned by Leica for premium image quality and “Leica look.”
• Sensor and lens (main/wide on both models): 1-inch CMOS sensor, f/1.8 aperture (some hands-on reports specify ~18–20mm equivalent focal length), 14 stops of dynamic range.
• Luna Ultra only: Dual-lens design with a secondary telephoto lens (1/1.3-inch sensor, ~70mm equivalent, f/2.8 aperture) for enhanced zoom performance.
• Zoom: Variable focal length with 1–6× lossless zoom (optical component reportedly up to ~3.9×); early leaked footage shows a 12× zoom toggle in use.
• Video capabilities: 10-bit color (hands-on mentions 10-bit iLog), smoother transitions in highlights/shadows; rumored 4K up to 240 fps slow-motion and Dolby Vision HDR support.
• Design and features: Pocket gimbal form factor (Osmo Pocket-style); possible modular/detachable gimbal head; Insta360’s AI stabilization and Deep Track 3.0 subject tracking; physical controls, flip-out/rotating touchscreen.
• Colors and variants: Two distinct color options per model
• Battery: reportedly around 1,550 mAh
• Other: Pairs seamlessly with the new Insta360 Mic Pro

Update: the two lenses are 20mm/1.8 and 60mm/2.0 (see the added picture above). The 20mm lens module has a 1” sensor; the sensor in the 60mm module is unknown for now.
