Canon is rumored to register a new high-end EOS camera
Canon is rumored to be registering a new high-end EOS camera with dual-band Wi-Fi 6. The camera is currently undergoing wireless certification in Asia (China). This wireless system was previously used in the Canon EOS R1 and Canon R5 II (now $500 off). The following are some possibilities of what this new came may be:
- The new device could be a flagship-level model like the EOS R1 or R5 Mark II, but it might be the EOS R5C Mark II. Perhaps they’ll bring back the 8K oversampling to 4K 60p capability that was present in the original R5C?
- A lower-end model with newer wireless specifications. After all, Wi-Fi 6 (or even Wi-Fi 6E/7) isn’t particularly groundbreaking anymore. Given the recent release of the EOS R6 Mark III, it’s hard to predict which body will get the upgrade next – the R6C successor, R7 Mark II, or R8 Mark II.
- A video-specialized EOS R3C? The LC1720 sensor has a wide range of potential applications. They could combine it with the C80’s card-slot layout and encoding options while putting it in a C500/C300-style cinema body.
