Summary
- Sony has registered the new WW261362 camera with Wi‑Fi 6.
- The A7S IV is one possible candidate, but it has not been officially confirmed.
A new Sony camera registration carrying the WW261362 code has appeared in a Chinese certification database and, although it does not reveal the camera’s commercial name, it is fueling speculation about a new high-end Alpha model.
The registration was spotted on September 23, 2026 and points to a new Sony camera with Wi‑Fi 6. Early reports mention dual-band wireless support for the Chinese version and tri-band support in some regions, while the platform is estimated to be at least BIONZ XR2 or newer.
What we know about Sony WW261362
WW261362 is a regulatory code, not the camera’s final commercial name. Therefore, the certification does not confirm that the product is actually the Sony A7S IV.
Available information points to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and 1024QAM modulation, which is associated with Wi‑Fi 6. The application is attributed to Sony Corporation in Japan, leading several sources to consider a higher-end model a plausible possibility.
There is still no confirmed information about the sensor, resolution, autofocus, stabilization or video capabilities of WW261362.
Why attention is turning to the A7S IV
The Sony A7S III was introduced in 2020 and remains one of the most video-oriented bodies in the Alpha line. Its age makes a successor a reasonable possibility, but that does not mean WW261362 must be the A7S IV.
Other possibilities mentioned internationally include another high-end Alpha camera or a Cinema Line model. Sony has not publicly linked WW261362 to any specific commercial product.
When could it be announced?
The certification does not include an announcement or release date. Similar registrations often appear a few months before an official unveiling, but the interval is not fixed.
Any claim of a late-2026 or early-2027 launch therefore remains an estimate rather than confirmed information.
What we think
WW261362 is a real indication that Sony is preparing a new camera with modern wireless connectivity. The A7S IV is a logical candidate because of the age of the A7S III, but the available documents do not confirm the identity of the new camera.
Until a commercial name, official teaser or additional certification appears, technical specifications attributed to a supposed A7S IV should be treated as rumors.
