One of the most important things that people want to know is when the Canon EOS R10 Mark II camera is actually coming. The question seems to be logical. Also, since the Canon EOS R10 is now as old as an R7 mirrorless camera, and the Canon EOS R7 was announced together on 24 May 2022.
But right now, we do have some strong rumours related to the Canon EOS R7 Mark II camera. The reason behind those rumours is a Canon FCC ID registration of a pro mirrorless camera, which seems to be highly identical to an APS-C flagship camera, considering the core specifications, the battery the camera is using and all that stuff.
So, the big question is actually when the R10 Mark II camera will arrive. Will it arrive before the R7 or after that? Let’s discuss it first.
Canon EOS R7 Mark II vs R10 Mark II: Which Comes First?
If you compare the two, then for sure, according to the recent FCC ID filing, the Canon R7 Mark II camera announcement looks more prominent. For now, no other FCC IDs have emerged till February 2026, so even if Canon registers a camera after March or April, the announcement is expected sometime in the second half of 2026.
During the DSLR time, the mid-range camera update cycle was approximately two years, and obviously, the flagship APS-C cameras were taking approximately four years of time. But right now, both the mid-range Canon EOS R10 and the Canon EOS R7 were announced approximately four years back. Due to uncertainty in the market and a bit lower demand for hybrid cameras, as people are putting more focus on video-oriented compact mirrorless solutions, as well as photographers preferring full-frame high-end hybrid cameras, in that context, it seems like Canon is about to update the Canon EOS R7 instead of the R10 for now.
FCC ID Analysis: No New Camera Filings Until February 2026
A key piece of evidence comes from FCC ID listings, which often foreshadow camera announcements. As of February 2026, Canon has no new “Digital Camera” registrations beyond the December 17, 2025, filing for AZD260 (model code DS126933 / HVIN DS126933). This filing is widely linked to the Canon EOS R7 Mark II, thanks to leaked certification documents from UL Verification Services.
Recent FCC Entries:
AZD260: Digital Camera (Dec 17, 2025) – Tied to the R7 Mark II.
AZD30387-2: Wireless LAN Module (May 15, 2025) – For Wi-Fi/Bluetooth integration.
AZD30400: Wireless LAN Module (Mar 13, 2025) – Similar module for host products.
The absence of fresh camera-specific FCC IDs suggests that if Canon registers a new one in early 2026 (e.g., February or March), the Canon EOS R10 Mark II announcement wouldn’t hit until Q4 2026 or later. FCC certifications typically require 3-6 months of lead time for testing and disclosure
Expected Specs for Canon EOS R10 Mark II
Since there has been a lot of delay in the mid-range level series camera, Canon EOS R10, we are now expecting a bigger jump in the core specifications of the upcoming camera. While official details are under wraps, Canon EOS R10 Mark II specs rumours point to evolutionary upgrades rather than revolutionary changes.
Let’s discuss what we are expecting from Canon R10 Mark II
Sensor: Expected to reuse the 32.5MP APS-C sensor from the original R7, ensuring sharp images without the premium price tag.
Performance: Faster continuous shooting mechanical up to 15 fps, improved autofocus, and enhanced video capabilities, but no in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) or weather sealing to keep it compact and budget-friendly.
Design: Retains the single card slot and lightweight body of the R10, ideal for entry-level users upgrading from DSLRs.
Other Features: Better battery life, 4K video improvements, and seamless integration with Canon’s RF-S lenses.
That’s what we are least expecting from R10 Mark II, since the competitors like A6700 and ZV-E10 II now using 26 MP APS-C BSI CMOS sensor, it seems to be quite an bit logical update from the existing 24 MP sensor.
Why the Delay? Canon’s 2026 Strategy Explained
It all depends upon the Canon marketing team. It was quite obvious that the entry-level models, the Canon EOS R50 and the Canon EOS R100, were taking over the market (July 2025) even in the USA. We have reported several times that the R50 is leading the market, so without a doubt, the R10 camera sales are not at that point. It is better to say the market response wasn’t as strong, and that’s why they have intentionally delayed the updates.
If a series becomes more popular, they are going to add more variants and obviously schedule updates to it. For example, the R50 series now has the Canon EOS R50V, and possibly this year or next year, we will have the R50 Mark II. But again, it all depends on market popularity and sales. If a model doesn’t perform as much as expected, then it gets delayed.
Other than that, that is the only reason why a camera maker decides to delay or discontinue a model.

We have already discussed the possibility of the Canon EOS R7 Mark II camera with a 40MP stacked BSI CMOS sensor in our previous post. We have already shared the latest leaked core specifications of the upcoming Canon R7 Mark II camera, which provided a strong hint that a 40MP BSI CMOS sensor will be included in the Canon flagship APS-C camera body.
Now, a fresh rumour is coming from the rumour mill, and according to that, the upcoming Canon R7 Mark II camera will use a 39-megapixel APS-C BSI CMOS sensor (with conflicting info on whether it’s stacked), and this rumour was published on CanonRumors.com. It has been mentioned that the sensor is 39 megapixels with BSI tech, but there’s uncertainty around stacking, and the information is coming from a new/unverified source. Canon Rumours has published a detailed report, and here are the specifications below. Note: These specs are unverified and subject to change, as per Canon Rumors.
We do know that camera makers test several prototypes of a camera before announcing their final product. Meanwhile, that’s why in the past, we have already received strong rumours related to a 40MP stacked BSI CMOS sensor. I personally believe Canon will use a stacked CMOS sensor, potentially around 40MP, for the upcoming Canon R7 Mark II camera.
Canon EOS R7 Mark II Price Rumours
No official pricing yet, but leaks suggest around $1,799 body-only—similar to the original R7’s launch price. Kits with RF-S lenses could range from $1,999 to $2,299. This positions it as an affordable pro-APS-C camera, undercutting full-frame models like the EOS R6 Mark III ($2,499).
These are the latest updates we have related to the Canon R7 II as of January 09, 2026. Bookmark this page for updates, and subscribe to TheNewCamera.com for the latest camera news, reviews, and deals.
What do you think of these Canon EOS R7 Mark II rumors? Share in the comments below!
According to the latest information surfacing on the web, the Canon EOS R7 Mark II camera is expected to feature a 40-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor. Interestingly, this sensor resolution closely matches that of the Canon EOS R5 / EOS R5 Mark II.
Yes, we are specifically talking about sensor resolution, which falls into a similar megapixel range — not the sensor size. Traditionally, we have seen this pattern before: the Canon 7D series shared a similar resolution philosophy with the Canon 5D series. (long story short, the 32.5 Mp sensor was made for 7D III, which was never introduced and later on used in R7 after 90D, similar to 5D IV / EOS R sensor Res.) The same strategy existed during the DSLR era, and recent rumours now confirm that 40MP APS-C prototypes do exist in the wild.
The big question remains: will these prototypes make it to the final production line? And what else do we know about the Canon EOS R7 Mark II camera? Let’s dive deep into the details.
At TheNewCamera.com, we track the most credible Canon rumours to provide accurate insights. While details remain speculative, we’ve cross-verified information from multiple sources to ensure logical consistency. Here’s a breakdown of the key rumors, starting with the sensor, followed by potential features, release timeline, and competitive context—all grounded in available reports.
The Rumoured 40MP Stacked Sensor: A Leap Forward for Canon APS-C
R7 Mark II 2026 Rumors: 40MP Stacked BSI Sensor Incoming
The Canon EOS R7 Mark II camera is rumoured to feature a 40-megapixel APS-C stacked CMOS sensor. If confirmed, this would be Canon’s first-ever 40MP APS-C sensor used in a camera body, significantly elevating the overall performance of Canon’s flagship APS-C camera.
With this move, the EOS R7 Mark II would directly compete with Fujifilm’s X-T5 and X-H2, two of the strongest players in the APS-C lineup.
Have a look at the basic set of improvements we are likely to notice after the introduction of a 40MP sensor inside the Canon EOS R7 Mark II camera body.
Stacked sensor benefits could include:
Enhanced dynamic range and noise reduction via BSI design.
Support for high-frame-rate bursts without blackout.
Potential for advanced video capabilities, such as 8K/60p recording.
Possibility of Canon C7, After Canon R7 III
If confirmed, the Canon EOS R7 Mark II camera, arriving with a 40MP sensor and the ability to record 8K video internally, would clearly indicate that Canon is extending its APS-C roadmap. In that case, likely, Canon will soon introduce professional APS-C Cinema EOS models to compete directly with the Sony FX30 series—possibly in the form of a Canon C7, a dedicated cinema version of the R7 series.
Potential Features: Building on the EOS R7’s Strengths
Yes, we are focusing all our attention on the sensor headlines here, but we must understand that it’s not just one camera. As we already know—and as we have previously posted—the Canon EOS R7 Mark II is one of three EOS R cameras currently under development. Recently, we have also spotted their wireless certification, likely featuring Wi-Fi 5 for prosumer-level wireless capabilities.
Some reports also mention dual-band Wi-Fi 6 support, which could enable faster image transfers and better integration with Canon’s app ecosystem.
If Canon introduces a 40MP stacked BSI APS-C sensor in the EOS R7 Mark II, the updates won’t be limited to resolution alone. A stacked BSI sensor changes the entire performance envelope of the camera. Here’s what we can logically expect:
1. Faster Sensor Readout
A stacked design allows much faster readout speeds, which means:
Severely reduced rolling shutter
Cleaner electronic shutter images (sports, wildlife, drones, fast pans)
Potential move toward a mostly electronic-shutter workflow
This alone would be a huge leap over the current EOS R7.
2. Higher Continuous Shooting Speeds
With faster readout and processing:
30–40 fps burst rates (electronic shutter) become realistic
Minimal or no viewfinder blackout (Blackout-free shooting)
Better subject tracking at high frame rates
This positions the R7 Mark II closer to pro sports bodies in APS-C form.
3. Major Video Upgrades
A stacked 40MP sensor strongly hints at:
8K video recording (likely oversampled or full-width)
Improved 4K quality with less crop
Better heat management
Reduced rolling shutter in video
Potential 8K/60p or 4K/120p, depending on processor limits
This would place Canon much closer to Sony FX30–level performance, and possibly beyond in resolution.
4. Improved Autofocus Performance
Faster readout helps AF systems work more efficiently:
More responsive Dual Pixel CMOS AF
Better AI AF subject detection (birds, animals, vehicles, sports)
Improved tracking accuracy / Due to improve per-frame calculator speed after the introduction of the Stacked CMOS sensor
These features remain unconfirmed, as earlier speculations varied.
Release Timeline: Eyes on Early 2026
Reliable sources point to a first-half 2026 announcement. Period. However, we are not expecting it as early as CP+ in Yokohama, Japan (usually held in late February). At that time, Canon is expected to announce three new EOS R bodies, which will likely include the successor to the Canon EOS R7, known as the EOS R7 Mark II.
Apart from that, the lineup is also expected to include the Canon EOS R10 successor and the Canon EOS R3 Mark II.
How the EOS R7 Mark II Compares to Competitors
To assess the rumoured specs logically, here’s a comparison with current APS-C leaders. Note that R7 Mark II details are speculative:
Feature
Canon EOS R7 Mark II (Rumoured)
Fujifilm X-T5
Sony A6700
Sensor Resolution
40MP Stacked BSI APS-C
40MP BSI APS-C
26MP BSI APS-C
Max Burst Rate
30-40fps (estimated)
15fps (mech)/20fps (elec)
11fps
Video Capabilities
Up to 8K/60p
6.2K/30p
4K/120p
IBIS
Up to 8 stops (estimated)
Up to 7 stops
Up to 5 stops
Connectivity
Wi-Fi 5 or 6
Wi-Fi 5
Wi-Fi 5
Price (Current/Est.)
$1,500+ (estimated)
$1,699
$1,398
These are the basic initial comparisons that give a clear, how a 40MP sensor is going to revolutionise APS-C camera technology within Canon itself. It is the need of the time to scale the overall capabilities of Canon’s APS-C flagship to the next level and make it ready to compete against strong rivals like the Sony A6700, Fujifilm X-T5, and Fujifilm X-H2.
For those considering full-frame alternatives like the EOS R5 II, the R7 Mark II could offer similar performance at a lower cost with APS-C’s crop factor benefits for telephoto work.
So for now, we have to accept one thing: this is the first time we are hearing about a 40MP sensor. Although yes, it is coming from a reliable source, before this, we had rumours of a 32MP stacked CMOS sensor–based camera.
There is a strong possibility that both prototypes exist at Canon, because before a camera maker announces a final product, they usually test multiple prototypes in the wild before a specific model is finalised for the production line.
So, we still need to wait for further confirmation. As 2026 approaches, we will get a clearer and more concrete set of information related to the Canon EOS R7 Mark II, as well as other upcoming Canon cameras.

According to the latest set of rumours, Chinese lensmaker Viltrox is finally preparing to announce Canon RF-S Mount lenses in 2026, They are going to start announcing lenses for Canon APS-C cameras like the Canon R50, Canon EOS R10, R50, and R7. Viltrox will bring down loads of affordable, high-performance primes to the RF ecosystem. And then Fullframes.
Update: December 21, 2025
So it’s not a rumour anymore; we have now received confirmation just after the post we published that Viltrox RF lenses are coming for Canon in 2026. Our source was 100% correct, and just after this, we received another confirmation that they will be delivering the EPIC series 1.33x anamorphic cine lenses for Canon’s full-frame RF mount. These include the compact 35mm T2.0, 50mm T2.0, and 75mm T2.0 models, designed for widescreen storytelling with a 2x squeeze factor, high resolution, and color matching to legacy Kowa glass. Crucially, all these lenses are coming with full authorization from Canon, which clearly proves that Viltrox has now become an official partner of Canon, and very soon they will be adding RF / RF-S lenses to the system, starting with anamorphic full-frame lenses. The information was confirmed by the Vertran Rumour website Photorumors.com
One of the best parts of Viltrox is that most of their lenses are under $300. So once they start the production of Canon RF-S Mount lenses, the users will get a lot of options to choose from. But again, the Canon licensing practice is very tricky; most of the time, they try to avoid the focal length approval they already made or have in the market. So, most probably, we do have high hopes for the APS-C RF-S Mount; in that space, Canon has the least amount of RF-S lenses. Other than that, in the full-frame zone, it would be interesting to see what Viltrox will have to offer us.
Image of Viltrox 85mm F1.8 II Lens: The Lens 85mm series lenses were announced alongside with Canon R series back in 2018, but later on the 2nd gen of 85mm F1.8 II was banned by Canon. Since Viltrox was creating lenses for Canon via reverse engineering, not by taking proper licenses,- Canon asked Viltrox to STOP selling RF lenses (August 29th, 2022)
Why Viltrox RF-S Lenses Matter for Canon Users
Yeah, I know that Canon does have very tight control over the RF mount, specifically the full-frame lenses, but the APS-C segment (RF-S) has seen some expansion, and lensmakers like Sigma and Tamron are adding lens options for APS-C users starting from 2024. Like Sigma and Tamron are adding lens options for APS-C users starting from 2024. And we do hope and expect that in 2026, Viltrox will join the List of third-party lens manufacturers of the RF-S Mount.
Now, Viltrox already has a very good track record for making excellent optical-quality lenses with very good autofocus performance. A lot of users have been using the Viltrox lenses in Sony E mount as well as Nikon Z mount for more than 7 years without any issues.
Potential Viltrox RF-S Lens Lineup: What Could Be Coming Soon
We have a list of ultra-popular lenses available for multiple brands. These prime lenses start from $200, specifically, we are talking about the Air Series lenses, a total of 12 APS-C lenses are about to arrive, starting from ultra-wide to short telephoto
Viltrox AF 9mm f/2.8 Air: Compact ultra-wide for landscapes and vlogging.
Viltrox AF 13mm f/1.4: Expansive view with creamy bokeh—perfect for astrophotography.
Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Air: Lightweight wide-angle for travel shooters.
Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4: Street photography staple (EOS M favorite, RF-S inbound?).
Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 Air: Everyday normal lens with pancake vibes.
Viltrox AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro: Pro-grade brightness for portraits and events.
Viltrox AF 33mm f/1.4: Versatile normal prime (another EOS M hit).
Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.7 Air: Budget-friendly all-rounder.
Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4: Portrait perfection with subject isolation.
Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 Air: Affordable telephoto alternative.
Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro: Bokeh beast for pros on a budget.
Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 Pro: Short tele for flattering headshots.
This lineup would really fill some significant gaps in Canon’s RF-S offerings, particularly in the sub-$400 prime category. While Viltrox’s lenses might not take the crown from Sigma or Canon’s L-series glass, their “Pro” models have received a lot of love for their solid build quality and dependable autofocus—think sturdy metal barrels, USB firmware updates, and weather-sealed options in the high
BTW, which one of the Primes do you want to see soon for RF-S Mount Mirrorless cameras?
When Viltrox Lenses Come for Canon RF Mount
If Viltrox really pulls this off, we can look forward to a bunch of affordable RF-S prime lenses that will make pro-level low-light shooting accessible to everyone. Recent Set of Rumours Suggests Viltrox will officially announce New Lenses for Canon RF-S Mount, starting from the First Half of 2026.
Canon R3 is always a professional sports and wildlife photographer’s favourite camera and considered to have ergonomics very similar to the Canon 1D-series DSLR, but as of now we have some sort of information coming from rumour mills that the Canon R3 Mark II camera will arrive before the 2026 Milan Olympics. In this article, we are going to discuss the possible set of core specifications, the arrival time of the R3 Mark II camera, so let’s dive in details.
Why Now? The Case for an EOS R3 Mark II
The Canon R3 was announced back in September 2021, one of the cameras that introduced Eye/Iris Control AF and that has impressed everyone as a flagship camera. The price is way too high, costing around $5999, specifically built for wildlife, sports, events, and photojournalism.
Rumours have started recently related to Canon R3 mark II camera arrival, since Canon does have a history of Olympic-tied flagship announcements. So for this time, we are expecting Canon to update its oldest flagship sports camera, the Canon R3.
Although not only Canon, Nikon was also stuck to Olympic-related announcements in post-DSLR times. Right now in the mirrorless world, we have to look at the dates and the patterns of these camera makers very carefully. They may change up everything they have done in the past, but for now, Phoblographer and Canon Rumours do believe that we are going to have Olympics-related announcements soon, or before February 2026.+
Rumoured Specs: What Could the R3 Mark II Bring to the Table?
Canon R3 Mark II camera specification based on the latest set of rumours and leaks we have
Sensor and Resolution
Global Shutter Tease?: Is Canon testing out Global shutter sensors for Canon R3 Mark II? Although the global shutter sensor isn’t a new thing for Canon. But yes, source has cancelled out the possibilities of an High Res Stacked CMOS sensor inside the Canon R3 Mark II camera, the sensor is said to be Inspired by Sony’s A9 III, some speculate a global shutter variant to eliminate rolling shutter distortion in action shots, boosting high-ISO performance (clean files above 12,800 ISO, per user feedback on the original R3).
DIGIC X Mark II: DIGIC X was first announced on January 6, 2020. As of December 11, 2025, it is approximately 5 years and 11 months old (or nearly 6 years). It debuted in the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III, Canon’s flagship professional DSLR at the time. It’s really a shame for Canon to still use the same 6 year old procesor in all their Flagship camera without any update or upgrade. In the meantime, they have added an AI chip, named Digic accelerator to handle AI based task. But, the image processor remains the same; we do believe the Canon R3 Mark II will bring out a new image processor in the Canon lineup.
Autofocus and Viewfinder
Eye-Control AF 2.0: Building on the original’s magic, with deeper AI for subject detection in chaotic scenes—sports, birds-in-flight, you name it.
EVF Upgrade: A 5.76M-dot OLED like the R1, but tuned for the gripped form factor.
Video Capabilities
Leaks are quiet here, but expect 6K/120p raw internals, with pro codecs for filmmakers doubling as stills shooters.
Release Date and Pricing: When Can We Get Our Hands on It?
Timeline: February 2026 announcement for Milan Olympics coverage, with shipping by spring. Miss this window? It might evaporate, per skeptics. Canon Rumors pegs Q1 alongside lenses, aligning with Phoblographer’s intel.
Pricing: Expect a bump to $6,500–$7,000 body-only, positioning it between the R5 II ($3,899) and R1. Bundles with RF 400mm f/2.8 or similar could sweeten Olympic deals.
These are the initial updates related to the Canon R3 Mark II camera. As we get any new information related to the same, we will be updating it here at TheNewCamera.com. Stay tuned for more updates.
Finally, Canon is gearing up to introduce a retro mirrorless camera in 2026, which is actually inspired by the iconic and one of the most popular film cameras of all time, the Canon AE-1. This was one of the most popular film cameras at its time.
but now we are having some confirmation related to the core specification of the upcoming camera from the rumor mills, Although it will carry an photographer centric core specs with Retro look and feel with extensive manual control over the body, but the key highlight is the sensor, The Canon Retro camera will use the same 32.5MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor as of the Canon R6 mark III, Lets have an dipper dive in the set of core specification,
Stick around as we dive deep into the leaked specs, expected pricing, release timeline, and why this upcoming Canon full-frame retro camera is poised to dominate search rankings – and your camera bag.
The Design Story: Paying Homage to the Canon AE-1 with Modern Twists
Canon retro camera humour is not New. It is wobbling up from past year and as per the initial report, the camera is expected to arrive on AE-1’s 50th anniversary, Canon executives At CP+ 2025, Manabu Kato, a key Canon figure, shared: “I’m really glad to hear that you’re an AE-1 enthusiast because I also like that camera. … So if we were to do that with the design of the AE-1, would it really achieve the kind of ergonomics and usability that we need in a Canon camera? That’s the big question.” Yes, he clearly hinted at the Canon AE1 retro camera arrival, but will it really happen? At least we are expecting sometime in April 2026
The Canon AE-1 was originally released in April 1976, so its 50th anniversary falls exactly on April 2026.
With high hopes and fingers crossed, and Canon isn’t the first camera maker to try RETRO design for the first time, Nikon has its own retro line of cameras, like the ZF/ZFC and Fuji, already highly popular with their retro style Mirrorless and compact cameras,
Canon Retro Camera Specification: 32.5MP Sensor and Pro-Level Performance
It’s time to discuss the core specification of the Canon retro camera. Alongside the 32.5 MP sensor from the Canon R6 Mark three as well as the Digix X image processor, Take an look at the rumoured core specs below
Sensor: 32.5MP full-frame BSI CMOS (shared with EOS R6 Mark III).
Processor: Entry-level DIGIC X – efficient for RAW processing and Advanced AI-AF
Autofocus: Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with eye-detect and animal tracking – reliable for street, portrait, and travel shooting.
Burst Shooting: Up to 12fps mechanical shutter, ideal for capturing fleeting moments.
ISO Range: Native 100-51,200, expandable to 50-204,800, sensor optimised for low-light performance
Video Capabilities: Minimalist approach – 4K/30p at best, with no 8K or advanced codecs. This is a stills-first machine, leaving video beasts to the R5/R6 lineup.
So, here you will get an idea of the basic core specification of the upcoming camera. The camera will have a compact approach like X100 VI / Leica Q3 body, with a longer battery life of 500+ Shots per charge. No, more overloaded set of features.
Pricing and Release Date: When Can You Get Your Hands on the Canon Retro Camera 2026?
Making it affordable in the price range of Nikon Zf, around $1999, so if anyone wants a photographic-centric camera with a 32.5MP sensor, they should have access at $1999, as well as for hybrids, we do have Canon R6 III at $2799, so this is what we have the information for now.
As we have already discussed, Timeline-wise, mark your calendars for April 2026. With the AE-1’s 50th birthday hitting in April, expect an announcement around then, followed by a summer launch.
Let’s discuss the lenses now, since no retro camera is complete without its own set of exclusive customised lenses. Initially, during the announcement, we are expecting
RF 45mm f/1.2 STM: A fast prime for creamy bokeh and low-light portraits, with a vintage brass finish.
Yes, there are some murmurs of a customised RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM also, as we get more confirmations, we will be adding more information on our website. Stay tuned to TheNewCamera.com for live updates

Recently, we have published information related to Canon’s latest Dual-Band and Wi-Fi registration done in the FCC. Based on the registration details and Canon’s announcement pattern, we thought it could be an R7 Mark II camera, and you can read our analysis in this post. The source has dropped more updates related to the same. According to the source, it’s a “new model”, although he didn’t clear out whether new means a refreshed R7-series successor, a full-frame camera, or something brand-new coming out from scratch. The good thing is that the announcement is about to happen on or before May 2025.
Breaking Down the WiFi 6 Confirmation: What We Know So Far
Leaker E88_8888, is accurate about registered camera information. Recently, the registered camera model with IEEE 802.11ax (WiFi 6) dual-band tech. Does have the ability for blazing-fast data transfers, reduced latency. The Dual WiFi 6 enables 4K/8K video uploads or gigabit-speed RAW transfers, so no more tethering issues by LAN.
Key highlights from the report:
Not a Rumour: This is just not a rumour, it’s Canon in action, and we have already seen the first steps. The next thing is the prototype testing phase, which starts right after the product is registered and ready for the production line.
Timeline Tease: Earliest launch? May 2026. Yes, that’s the date we are getting from the sources. Everything is done on schedule. The product announcement is expected on or before May 2026.
Model Mystery: Labelled simply as a “new model,” it aligns with both full frame and APS-C.
As we have mentioned before, this is not the first time Canon has used a Dual Band WiFi Unit in their camera; before, they have used it in Canon R5 Mark II and Canon R1, so Canon have to options here. One is to expand more pro cameras in the Fullframe range, another option is extending Dual WiFi 6 to a new Canon camera in the APS-C range could democratise pro-level connectivity. Future-proofed workflow in Crop mode.
