A larger sensor, perhaps a 1-inch CMOS, would be fantastic for capturing more detail and performing better in low-light situations. Additionally, higher bit rates and the ability to shoot in a flat color profile would give us more flexibility in post-processing.

Longer flight time.

My buddy told me the exact same thing last week. Guess he was right lol.

Regarding what #6 said about "My buddy told me the exact same thing...", it really feels like DJI is just refining perfection at this point. Im quite satisfied with the current performance to be honest. From a practical and budget-focused perspective, I actually hope they dont go too crazy with hardware changes.

• Long-term ownership is easier when parts are interchangeable. If the Mini 5 Pro supports the existing DJI Intelligent Flight Battery Plus, that saves us a lot on kit costs.
• I would be happy if they kept the DJI RC 2 Controller as the standard option. Its a great piece of gear that works well and doesnt need replacing yet.
• If the specs stay similar, it just means the DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo stays relevant longer and holds its resale value better. Basically, I am looking for stability over flashy new features. Keeping the entry price low is what made the Mini series great in the first place.

If there is no competitor against DJI, I think Mini 5 Pro will not have a big upgrade.

1 inch sensor.
