Sigma launches a stabilized 50-120mm f/2.8 zoom for APS-C at $799

The lens fits Sony E, Fujifilm X and Canon RF APS-C cameras, weighs about 390g on Sony and Fujifilm, and finishes Sigma's three-lens f/2.8 set.

Why it matters. A fast zoom with image stabilization is rare for APS-C. At 390g it is small enough to carry all day.

In simple words. Sigma made a new zoom lens for smaller-sensor cameras. It lets you zoom in on far-away people and things and keeps shots steady. It costs $799 and weighs less than a bottle of water.

Watch: a good sign that small, fast APS-C lenses keep getting better.

18.9Wh: leaked DJI Neo 3 battery holds 64% more than the Neo 2 pack

Photos and a 91-second video from an Indonesian owner point to a bigger Neo 3 with a three-cell battery and a new controller. DJI has not announced it.

Why it matters. A bigger battery could mean longer flights. These are leaks, so treat every number as unconfirmed until DJI speaks.

In simple words. Pictures and a video of a new small DJI drone, the Neo 3, were leaked online. It seems to have a bigger battery. DJI has not said anything yet, so wait before you plan to buy.

Your DJI Osmo 360 II gets better night video and cloud backups

A new firmware update (v01.02.03.10) improves SuperNight 360 video, close-up stitching and cloud uploads. The camera is not sold by DJI in the US.

Why it matters. Updates like this improve a camera you already own for free. Night video and cloud backup are the main gains.

FCC plan could end US sales of DJI drones with LiDAR, such as the Mini 5 Pro

The FCC is considering a stop to imports and sales of already approved foreign drones with LiDAR. Comments closed September 2. Owners could keep flying.

Why it matters. Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S, Mavic 4 Pro and Neo 2 all use front LiDAR for obstacle sensing. If the plan is adopted, buying new may get harder.

In simple words. A US agency is thinking about stopping sales of some drones that have a small laser sensor. Some popular DJI drones have it. Nothing is final, and people who already own one could still fly it.

Watch: rules, not just products, decide which drones you can buy.
