Canon has registered a new ILC camera with regulators
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Having support for 256-QAM usually indicates very high speed wireless communication and I think the only consumer usage of it are in Wi-Fi and LTE.
The radio controlled Speedlites starting from the 600EX-RT use O-QPSK + DS-SS only on 2.4 GHz since it doesn't need communication speeds in the hundreds of megabits per second.
Since the ID0179 product uses 256-QAM and supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz, I think we can safely assume whatever this product is supports Wi-Fi, since LTE doesn't operate on the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands.

From Asobinet (see here): ID0179 might be a Cinema camera.
”ID0179 is a character string that you don't see very often. That's not to say it can't be said, and considering that "EOS R5 C" has ID0159, it seems likely that it is a Cinema Line camera. I think there were some products that were rumored, but the details are unknown.”

Canon segments the wifi specs, the R6II supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but the R8 only has a 2.4GHz radio, and both only support 802.12 b/g/n, no ax for wifi6.

A Cinema camera makes quite a bit of sense given the fact that Canon is currently releasing many new RF mount cinema lenses.

R1 and R1C - R1 super-focused on stills shooters. R1C super-focused on video shooters. R1C gets the internal ND filter and other video-centric features. At least 8k. 12k? And the R1 is the king of sports and fast action. The only question . . . will the MP of the R1 be too close to R3 territory? Or will it give decent (if less than 45MP) resolution?

If it were an R1C, I think it would have exactly the same Wi-Fi module as the R1 and will support the same standard. Why put worse Wi-Fi into the video focused version?
I suspect it will be a C70 successor or something like that.

Along the same line of thought, why would a C70 Mk2 have a worse Wi-Fi module than R1? I am not being critical. Another view to consider, is that maybe Canon is putting the best WiFi module in the R1 to enable fast photo downloads while the Cinema version does not require such capability.
A R1 / R1C parallel launch would be quite amazing and might explain the different specs that are being rumored. The next few weeks are going to be fun

It would be more much likely for two different electronics platforms on very different cameras to have different wireless capabilities than an R1 and an R1C (which if it exists, I would assume they share the same platform like the R5 and R5C, or the 1DX and 1DC).Along the same line of thought, why would a C70 Mk2 have a worse Wi-Fi module than R1?

I think it would cost more for Canon to validate two different WiFi modules for an otherwise similar or same set of electronics than to just stick the same one into both. They are going to charge $6500+ for the camera, and I don't think it is like Canon to cut costs here (especially when no money might be saved given the additional FCC/CE/etc... validation this would cost).
In any case, if they were different, I would assume the cinema camera to have the better capability, because (1) video files are bigger especially if they want to stream it off the camera, (2) the cinema camera would cost more so there are better margins to absorb the cost.

I agree that the more likely scenario is that we see a C50 or C90 camera, but the possibility of a R1/ R1C combo is fun to conjecture about.

Here's my thinking: As Wi-Fi 5 has lower bandwidth and higher latency than Wi-Fi 6, the use case of the ID0179 camera is likely to require less bandwidth and be less sensitive to latency than the DSxxxxx camera.
It wouldn't make sense to put two different modules into two almost identical products, like the proposed R1 and R1C.
I think it's much more likely that the two cameras are highly different.
So if the ID0179 camera is a video camera (PTZ or Cinema line), it is likely to be for remote control, rather than live streaming of high-quality high-resolution video.
Sure, 4K H.265 video stream could be supported by Wi-Fi 5, but that's a compressed stream.
The DS camera could support Wi-Fi 6 to have fast wireless transfer of (still) images, something that could be compatible with the idea of a Pro level camera (think R1).
I've certainly never used the wireless data transfer of my cameras, so I don't know what would be important for the type of photographers that need/use this.
As others have said, it's likely that everything will be revealed at CP+.

Oh, is that why you and other cave-dwelling forum trolls like you never seem to post any pictures? News flash: the excellent images posted by value-adding members here shot with current (and older) Canon cameras conclusively demonstrate that if you can’t use them to make great images, the fault is not with the gear. That’s the reality.
