The Mini 2 came with a 1/2.3" 12MP f2.8 CMOS sensor which was capable of recording video at up to 4K 30fps and capturing RAW photos. In many ways it is still a fantastic little sensor capable of taking fantastic RAW photos with enough dynamic range to create some amazing imagery providing you're careful with your exposure.

The Mini 3 Pro will sport a new 1/1.3" (0.77 inch) 48MP (true 12MP) f1.7 Quad Bayer CMOS sensor which will record video at up to 4k 60fps with HDR (High Dynamic Range). The sensor is over twice the size of the Mini 2which lends itself to better low light captures helped by the larger fixed f1.7 aperture.  

The most important aspect of this new sensor is the pixel size. It has been confirmed that each pixel will be same size as on the fantastic Mavic Air 2S measuring in at 2.4µm. Though the Air 2S comes with a larger true 20MP 1" Sensor. This is still a huge upgrade from the Mini 2 and huge technical achievement given that all of this has to be contained within a drone weighing less than 250g. 

The Mini 3 Pro will be able to capture video in DJI's colour profile D-Cinelike. This flatter colour profile will allow users to have better control over the colour grading process when editing as well as potentially finer control over shadows and highlights compared to the baked in 'Normal' profiles.

The Autel Nano+ is currently the Mini 3's only comparable alternative which comes with a slightly bigger 1/1.28" f1.9 and highly regarded RYYB sensor.

The camera will also come with the ability to rotate 180° on the vertical axis to allow the camera to point completely upwards. It will also be able to rotate the camera to a vertical aspect which will make it easier to capture vertical panoramas with a reduced reliance on stitching algorithms from traditional horizontal panoramas. This will likely also lend itself well to capturing native 9:16 content for pilots that like to share their content to social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.
