Canon has registered three cameras in Asia:

• Wi-Fi 6 flagship model : While not officially registered, it has been confirmed to have flagship-class peripheral specifications. Based on current trends, it is speculated to be either the EOS R5C II, EOS R3 II, or EOS R7 II (highly unlikely).
  Another possibility is that it could be the first non-flagship camera equipped with this technology, as flagship-class devices and next-generation processors become more common.
• DS126904 : It has not been clear for a long time since the registration. It is speculated that it may be the EOS R7 II, EOS R5C II, EOS R5V, or EOS R6V.
• DS126936 : This is the latest product listing, and it could be released as early as early winter next year. It’s likely to include the EOS R7 II, EOS R6V, retro-style EOS RF camera, and PowerShot V3.

A new source claims this:

It has been suggested that Canon has enlisted the services of several photographers to assess its latest flagship camera, the EOS R3 II, during the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. This product has been carefully designed to offer high resolution and speed. I believe that the resolution of this product may be superior to that of the EOS R5 II.

While we know Canon has registered a new camera in China with dual band 6G support…I doubt this is for a new R3II. The Olympics kick off in exactly 2 months from now and some Canon affiliates could use this event to beta test the new Sports camera.

I am 99% confident that in 2026 Canon will announce a new retro camera. Why? Well let’s start from this:

Early this year Canon Executive Manabu Kato said this in an interview with Phototrend

I’m really glad to hear that you’re an AE-1 enthusiast because I also like that camera.

I hear you, and there is indeed a lot of demand for vintage-looking cases, and that’s not something we’re ignoring. We’re listening. But those technological challenges, as well as the commercial viability challenges, are things we’ll also have to carefully consider before we can move forward with a vintage design.

Now Craig from CR speculates the camera might be named RE-1 in honor of the AE-1 that will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2026. The “R” obviously would replace the “A” because of the use of the new E-mount. This new camera would reuse the Canon R6III sensor with the main changes being obviously the new classic design. So let’s speculate:

Canon RE-1 specs:

• 32,5MP sensor
• not as powerful as the Canon R6III
• Price around $1999
• Announcement at CP+ show in late February
• Might be launched with 1-2 retro styled lenses like Nikon did with the Nikon 40mm lens made for the ZF

Canon has officially registered a new camera in China, and all signs point to it being a high-end model. The registration lists dual-band Wi-Fi 6 support — a feature Canon typically does not include in its entry-level or mid-range cameras.

• The new camera could be the flagship Canon EOS R1 or the Canon EOS R5 Mark II. It might even turn out to be the Canon EOS R5C Mark II, possibly without 8K and oversampled 4K60 recording.
• It could also relate to new decentralized wireless specifications. Wi-Fi 6 is still uncommon in Canon cameras. With the recent release of the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, it’s uncertain whether future models such as a potential Canon EOS R6C, Canon EOS R7 Mark II, or Canon EOS R8 Mark II will adopt these updated wireless capabilities.
• A video-oriented Canon EOS R3C is another possibility. The LC1720 sensor supports a wide range of applications. A redesign could include adding CFe Type A/B card slots like the Canon C80 and improving codec options in a body more similar to the Canon C50. However, converting the R3 body into a dedicated video machine seems unlikely, making this scenario less probable.

This is the best guess from Oridnary Filmmaker:

• Canon EOS R10 II is due for a refresh. But it’s more of a 50/50 as Canon might schedule it for 2027 instead. R10 II will get a modest, practical update to keep it relevant
• A refresh of the R50 and R100 are unlikely
• Expect more vlogging updates
• Canon could finally release a retro-styled camera based on the AE-1
• The Canon R9 has been pushed based on market conditions
