Canon to announce WiFi adapter W-E1 for SD card slot

w-e1

It appears Canon will soon announce the Canon W-E1 WiFi adapter. According to a specification sheet leaked at Digicame-Info, the W-E1 is very small and lightweight, coming at 24 x 32 x 2.1 mm (around 0.94 x 41.26 x 0.08 inches) and weighting just 2 grams (0.04 oz). That’s the size of an SD memory card. Safe to assume Canon is entering the market with it’s own WiFi adapter for SD card slots

    – Size: 24.0mm x 32.0mm x 2.1mm

UPDATE: the page has been removed.

It seems DigitalRev wants to be first when the pre-order game for new gear will start. After the EOS 5D Mark IV and EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS Mark II product pages, also the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L Mark III product page went online. As with the other two, there are no specs nor pictures.

All this gear will soon be announced, most likely August 25/26, 2016. Click here to see all EF 16-35mm f/2.8L Mark III rumors.

UPDATE: the page has been removed.

Edit: changed post title since it was a bit misleading. They do not accept pre-order right now.

Still not sure that the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV may be announced soon? Change your mind.

The announcement is expected for August 25/26. But well known online retailer DigitalRev already has a dedicated product page for the EOS 5D Mark IV, though without any specs or pictures. However, if you want to be among the first to get this highly anticipated camera, you can register to be notified as soon as pre-orders are available (just click the orange “Notify Me” button”).

We know very little about specs so far. The most rumored sensor resolution is either 24MP or 28MP. It will likely feature WiFi and GPS, Dual Pixel AF is also likely, as is a new AF system. We will soon know more.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV coming with 28MP sensor? [CW3]

canon rumorscanon rumors

Amongst all those unreliable if not faked Canon EOS 5D Mark IV rumors, we have another one to add.

Our sources always told us the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV will have a 28MP sensor. We just got another mention on this sensor resolution (thanks), though from a new source.

Other rumors suggest a 24MP resolution, the latest murmurings talk 30MP (which I don’t consider anything to be taken seriously).

Be aware that so far there are no reliable leaks on the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. The only thing you really can count on is an announcement at the end of August  (so it gets ready for Photokina in September). Hence, for the time being keep the salt at hand. Given Canon’s newly developed secrecy, the first reliable information will show up just a few weeks before the announcement.
