The CEO of Insta360 just posted this image of what appears to be a completely new INSTA360 camera. His text going along the image was “向新的焦段出发” (Heading towards new focal lengths).

Key Identifiers & Specs (from the image and leaks):

• Aperture: The screen clearly shows an f/1.8 aperture.

• Form Factor: It appears to be a fixed-lens compact camera or a compact mirrorless system designed to compete with the Fujifilm X100 series or the Sony ZV-1/Vlog series.

• UI/Interface: The screen layout (showing the [9999+] shot counter and A mode) is an evolution of the Insta360 Ace Pro interface, including a large flip-up touchscreen.

• Body Design: The camera has a distinct tan/beige rugged casing in the photo (which may be a prototype skin or a “Desert Edition”). It features physical control wheels for aperture and exposure compensation, a first for the brand.

If this is going to be a mirroless camera with APS-C sensor…will it be fixed lens or have a mount? And is this going to be L-mount or a new mount camera?

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.

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. It takes up to 3-4 months until a registered camera gets officially announced!

But what could it be?

• 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.

The Indonesian certification agency has registered a new Sony camera under the code “WW824259.” The device is manufactured in Thailand, just like the current Sony A7 IV. This model is almost certainly the upcoming Sony A7 V, which is expected to be announced in mid-November and begin shipping around January or February.
