Nokishita has posted known and unreleased Canon gear, for the moment the list is pretty short.
Unreleased Canon gear:
- DS586191 (DS586192 / DS586193 / DS586194)
- Wireless file transmitter
- Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11a / b / g / n / ac) compatible
- Interchangeable lenses:
- 3450C005AA (RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM)
- 3792C005AA (RF 85mm f/1.2L DS USM)
Some sites are stating that the DS586191 is the EOS-1D X Mark III, it is not. The EOS-1D X Mark III likely won't have internal wifi capabilities, therefore wouldn't need to get wifi certification. Secondly, Canon DSLR product codes begin with “DSC”, not “DS”.
We have some more information coming soon to address new gear and when we can expect to see the next major announcements from Canon.

This just in: instead of the traditional anodized black, the 1D X Mark III will be available in three stylish colors: rose gold, midnight green, and ”L” red. Because why should your trusty tool of trade not double as a fashion accessory?
That would be nifty.
True story - Canon made a version of the F-1 (film camera) in olive drab for military users. I found on used at Olden camera in 1979. They wanted $650. I tried to negotiate a lower number, but they wouldn't budge. Ended up buying a Lake Placid F-1 and several lenses for that amount.
The OD one was still there in 1985 when I went in for some additional accessories.

On a more serious note, why exactly would a 1DXiii definitely not have Wifi?
In the past the opinion was that the metal shell didn't have large enough openings for antennas to work. Recently I've seen articles suggesting that it lacks wifi to bypass certification agencies where most leaks occur.
