Recently, we have published information related to Canon’s latest Dual-Band and Wi-Fi registration done in the FCC. Based on the registration details and Canon’s announcement pattern, we thought it could be an R7 Mark II camera, and you can read our analysis in this post. The source has dropped more updates related to the same. According to the source, it’s a “new model”, although he didn’t clear out whether new means a refreshed R7-series successor, a full-frame camera, or something brand-new coming out from scratch. The good thing is that the announcement is about to happen on or before May 2025.
Breaking Down the WiFi 6 Confirmation: What We Know So Far
Leaker E88_8888, is accurate about registered camera information. Recently, the registered camera model with IEEE 802.11ax (WiFi 6) dual-band tech. Does have the ability for blazing-fast data transfers, reduced latency. The Dual WiFi 6 enables 4K/8K video uploads or gigabit-speed RAW transfers, so no more tethering issues by LAN.
Key highlights from the report:
- Not a Rumour: This is just not a rumour, it’s Canon in action, and we have already seen the first steps. The next thing is the prototype testing phase, which starts right after the product is registered and ready for the production line.
- Timeline Tease: Earliest launch? May 2026. Yes, that’s the date we are getting from the sources. Everything is done on schedule. The product announcement is expected on or before May 2026.
- Model Mystery: Labelled simply as a “new model,” it aligns with both full frame and APS-C.
As we have mentioned before, this is not the first time Canon has used a Dual Band WiFi Unit in their camera; before, they have used it in Canon R5 Mark II and Canon R1, so Canon have to options here. One is to expand more pro cameras in the Fullframe range, another option is extending Dual WiFi 6 to a new Canon camera in the APS-C range could democratise pro-level connectivity. Future-proofed workflow in Crop mode.
