Here are the latest Canon camera registrations that are not yet officially announced, courtesy of CanonAddict:
DS126936
- Wireless Spec: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) + Bluetooth
- What it might be: Canon EOS R7 Mark II.
- Reasoning: Registered shortly after the R6 Mark III. The “DS” prefix denotes an interchangeable lens camera. Like the R6 III, it sticks to the robust but standard Wi-Fi 5 to differentiate it from the flagship R1/R5 series.
Best cameras
ID0179
- Wireless Spec: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac)
- What it might be: Canon EOS C70 Mark II or XF605 Successor.
- Reasoning: The “ID” prefix is historically used for Cinema EOS or professional camcorders. This registration has been active since early 2024, suggesting a long development cycle typical of pro video gear.
ID0174
- Wireless Spec: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac)
- What it might be: PowerShot V10 Successor or VR Camera.
- Reasoning: Another video-centric “ID” code. Canon is aggressively expanding the V-series for vloggers, which often use non-standard naming conventions internally.
New Wireless Patent Found
US Patent 12,114,054: Communication Apparatus (Wi-Fi 6)
- Description: A patent describing a camera capable of connecting to IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) networks. It details methods for managing power consumption while maintaining high-speed dual-band (2.4GHz/5GHz) connections.
- What it might be: Canon EOS R5C Mark II or High-End Cinema EOS.
- Reasoning: Since the R6 Mark III and R7 Mark II are limited to Wi-Fi 5, this patent points to a future high-bandwidth camera that requires Wi-Fi 6 for professional monitoring or massive video file transfers.
