Canon’s upcoming full frame mirrorless camera may have leaked through certification authority
Nokishita posted a list of unreleased Canon gear, taken from “test data” (which I guess means from a certification authority’s listing). Before you get all breathless, please keep in mind that if the gear listed below is in a development stage (i.e. prototypes) the listed specifications may not refer to the actual model (i.e. dummy specs or place fillers). However, it seems our so often copied rumors about Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera got an authoritative and serious endorsment by Nokishita.
The model numbers listed below may point to the long rumored Canon full frame mirrorless camera.
- K424 [editor’s note: this might be Canon’s FF MILC]
- Interchangeable lens camera
- Full size [= full frame, editor’s note]
- Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
- It is described as mirrorless image size (6720 × 4480) in the test data (since the detail column is filled with almost the same data as 5D Mark IV [K349], the image size may be a dummy possibility)
- K433
- Interchangeable lens camera
- Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
- It is described as mirrorless full size in the test data (it is the same as the data of K424, so it is possible that the initial setting data was diverted for testing)
Please note that K424 and K433 may point to the same camera, and that the listed specifications may be “dummy specs”, i.e. place fillers (according to Nokishita too). It’s not easy to guess (or understand) if the models above really point to Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera. However, given the reliability of Nokishita we consider it a strong possibility.
The list goes on with more unreleased Canon gear. As you can see below there are DSRls, PowerShots, and one more mirrorless cameras on Canon’s agenda (EC 811). The DSLRs may point to the EOS 90D or EOS 7D Mark III or to the replacement for the EOS 5Ds/5Ds R.
