Canon registers another camera for certification

[Canon Rumors Guy]

Canon has registered another camera to the CMIIT (Chinese Ministry of Industry and Identification). The model, identified as DS126904 features WiFi 5 and Bluetooth. Unlike the other registrations this year which had WiFi 6, this one seems to be a lower-end model with the inclusion of Wifi 5. That makes a total of 3 digital

Thinking about 5 cams yet to be released, supposedly all in 2024... oh my...
Has it ever been that much in one year? I can't remember... maybe if I count the pro cine cams in...

I want a tiny form factor ILC! Make Canon pocketable again!

I'd love an M6 Mark II with an RF mount (updated to current tech obviously)

It has been a while.... it was normal when they released 9 Rebels a year back in the heyday.

I think it would be a bit strange if an RF version of the M6II would lack a viewfinder, when even the R100 includes a viewfinder. But you never know it could happen.

It'd be great. There are lots of the younger generation of shooters that have never really used a viewfinder as they likely started their journey on their smartphone. I personally never use the EVF on my R50.

FYI, Craig did put this in the article, but DSC / DS always referred to the EOS division.

The original M / M2 were made by the EOS division, and then with the M3 we saw a drastic change in firmware and it was then PC - done by the power shot group.

The M50 Mark II was a DS .. probably because the EOS group quick cobbled something to together to shut people up versus any real desire to create a new camera, and the powershot group was pretty much shutting down by then.

It has always a very solid indicator (until the EOS-M aspect) of what exactly was being certified.

Craig had to step in and clean up my post lol since someone lost a significant amount of their remaining braincells over it.

Beside R5mkII, I would love M6mkII and 32mm get ported to the RF-S mount! Instant classic for the mount I am sure of it!

Wow there are five unreleased cameras to date! Is this a new record? I cannot wait until some of these unannounced cameras transition to announced cameras with manufacturer's specifications.

In all seriousness I am eagerly anticipating (and ordering) the R5 Mk2 and R1.

Maybe an all in one with retro styling... Fuji is making some of that sweet ching ching with the X100 VI. Would be sweet if it was FF, maybe the old r5 sensor or something.

 

[Canon Rumors Guy]

Richard and I have come up with a theory or two about that third camera... I'll ask around to see if the usual suspects know anything.

all 5 cameras will, as per the onslaught of youtube review videos will tell us, be gamechangers. zzz

Fuji have a decent retro interface, where Nikon have sort of flubbed it. But the Fujifilm cameras are not nearly as beautiful or have a sense of history- largely because they lack such. Canon could capitalise by releasing an RF P or RF 7, which would update a few aesthetic things for the modern day. Nikon's ZF is lovely to look at in a way no Fujifilm camera is.

Or doom Canon, depending on the youtuber in question

R8 focus and lack of shutter issues (either fixed shutter shock or reduced rolling shutter) would be great, but really the only annoyance with the M6ii aside from the zombie vibes is the dead settings battery. It’s still in heavy rotation and I haven’t even busted out the insurance M200 yet

Could number 5 be the high MP EOS (R5 S)?

Oooooo a Canon RF model 7 would be sweet.

My first Canon was the P, but I wanted the 7. Eventually I ended up with a Leica, whose clear focus patch and simpler aesthetic won me over, but a modern simplification of the 7, as you said, would be sweet.

That was my first thought
