There was a report on a new gopro form factor type camera from dji a few days ago.

DJI action camera reportedly leaked to compete with GoPro


I wouldn't get my hopes up too much just yet, waterproof may just mean 10m and they released the osmo pocket promising an underwater housing that has yet to appear. It's going to have to have some hypersmooth beating stabilization and awesome low light performance or a low price to compete and the gopro 8 isn't that far away.

But this is only a good thing and hopefully gopro will really step it up for the 8 (low light boost, raw photo while shooting video, higher bit rate, but stick with the same form factor)

I have put a 10m waterproof camera 30m before without any issues. Although I don't recommend it, I do it regularly

Photos and specs of the new DJI Osmo Action camera have been leaked

Osmo action, looks like GoPro competitor. Don't think it looks waterproof beyond ca 10m nothing on a housing as of yet.

Yep, not an ROV, "just" another action cam. Maybe a better value than gopro. Maybe not. To be seen. Specs etc:

DJI Osmo Action review: A worthy GoPro rival

 

[Zi55ou]

It does list an underwater case (no details) the unit is waterproof to 11m without the housing so perhaps of little value to divers. I would however caution against buying with a view to getting the housing later, the osmo pocket was released with the promise of a housing and that has yet to exist outside of a few photos.

From what I've seen (not having used it) the action is comparable to the hero 7 and other than being cheaper and the stabilization being perhaps slightly better, and with the hero 8 coming out in a few months I can't see any reason to upgrade from the h7 especially as no housing is available yet.
