Unannounced Canon Gear Has Been Registered

Canon has quietly registered two unreleased cameras with model numbers DS126916 and ID0184 with an overseas certification body. Naturally, speculation is swirling: are these the long-rumored EOS R6 Mark III or EOS R7 Mark II?

What We Know So Far

• DS126916 has appeared alongside camera ID 0184, both supporting dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz & 5.1GHz) and Bluetooth.
• Canon’s previous registrations show a clear pattern:
  • DS126922 – EOS R5 Mark II (Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth)
  • DS126928 – EOS R1 (Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth)
  • DS126941 – EOS R50 V (Wi-Fi 5 & Bluetooth)
  • DS126904 – PowerShot V1 (Wi-Fi 5 & Bluetooth)
  • ID174 – Unknown, Wi-Fi 5
  • ID179 – Unknown, Wi-Fi 5

The “DS” prefix typically indicates still digital cameras, while “ID” models are often part of the Cinema EOS lineup.

Given this naming trend and the wireless capabilities, it’s a safe bet that DS126916 is a new stills camera, possibly the R6 III or R7 II, while ID0184 could belong to Canon’s cinema range.

All signs point to an upcoming announcement. Whether the rumors match reality is yet to be seen – but something new is definitely on the horizon.
