The X5R has neither been released nor discussed much since it was announced.
The X5 is fundamentally an X3 with a bigger sensor and lens mount - it still uses the same SoC to drive the camera system (same one as the GoPro Hero 4), so R&D was clearly a little more forgiving as they were repackaging their existing technology for a new lens format.
Nobody is quite sure of what silicon is going to be in the X5R - if DJI designing their own, or are they collaborating with another manufacturer, etc. Either way, we're talking about a completely new platform and it clearly wasn't finished in time for simultaneous release with the X5.
I've heard everything from late November to early next year depending on what dealer you talk to. |
