The Latest Canon Rumours

Canon may have even more new cameras on the way than we previously thought, with two additional models appearing in regulatory filings. The newly registered DS126986 and DS126991 join three unreleased Canon cameras that were already known, bringing the current total to five. Both new models were spotted in a Japanese regulatory database, although registrations like these do not necessarily guarantee a commercial release, and there is always a chance that one of the entries could turn out to be an accessory and not a camera.

The wireless specifications give us at least a few clues about what they might be. DS126986 has dual-band Wi-Fi 4 at 2.4 and 5.1 GHz along with Bluetooth, which could point toward another interchangeable-lens EOS R camera. DS126991 is much more basic, with only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and no Bluetooth at all. That is unusually limited by recent Canon standards, as cameras released throughout 2024 and 2025 generally offered at least Wi-Fi 5. Current speculation suggests this second registration could therefore belong to a lower-cost PowerShot, where dropping faster Wi-Fi and Bluetooth would be an easy way to keep hardware costs down.

That leaves us with what could eventually be three EOS R cameras and two PowerShot models across the five registrations. The existing roadmap has not really changed, the EOS R8 Mark II is still rumoured for September with a 24MP sensor and retro-style body, while an EOS R10 Mark II could follow later and the EOS R7 Mark II is currently expected in the first quarter of 2027. On the compact side, Canon is also rumoured to be preparing a more photography-focused successor to the PowerShot G7 X Mark III, alongside the potentially cheaper DS126991.
