I'm rooting for it being The 5D IV, because the next iteration after that could be the 5D V, and that sounds pretty cool to me ;P

No. Say it ain't so. :'(

Apple and Samsung used to get 'outed' like this for new products because of domestic (US) FCC filings, which usually are a few months in advance of release.
With cell phones, what the communication tech is often is a major strategic tell (LTE, NFC, etc.), so Apple and others tend to announce their products around the time of FCC public disclosures unless something has changed recently that I missed.
But folks like Canon can let this small cat out of the bag as Wifi/GPS is just a sliver of what a camera offers. They can let this go and withhold announcing the new rig if they want to minimize the downtime between announcement and availability.

IglooEater said:Very interesting. Thanks. I guess if this means availability could be quicker I guess that's a good thing. Just that, in my mind, a "few" is at least three or four, so a "few" months ahead puts the 5D IV in October or November. This is a somewhat subjective analysis at best obviously.

Do you know if and how much the Wi-Fi module in the 1DX2 differs from the one in the rebels? (I don't)Mt Spokane Photography said:...
it looks like the Wi-Fi is identical to the rebel as far as hardware goes, firmware may be another story.
...
Getting Rebel class Wi-Fi is not what I'm looking for in a 5D MK IV.

Edit: I assume the screenshot of the table is from the Indonesian authority(?) Certificate screenshot is definitely from 2015-12-11 of the Taiwanese authority approving the wireless module for use in DS126601
Is it not mandatory, but how many WiFi chipsets implement AC without also implementing 5gHz?Chaitanya said:kphoto99 said:Just 2.4, no 5Ghz band for WiFi, so no AC support.
5Ghz band is not compulsory for 802.11ac standard, devices can use 2.4ghz spectrum as well.
