If you can read Japanese you'll know this is fake. go to the Japan EOS site http://cweb.canon.jp/camera/eosd/1dsmk3/index.html noticing underneath Kiss F there's "Discontinued Product" (of course in Japanese), then there's "Product Comparison" The fake one didn't do a good job cutting/pasting, you can see the above 2 got blended in together. Ha!! Another rumor I heard, is that Canon might skip Mark 4 and skip to 5 (or some other names) The reason for that is when it comes to 4D, in Japanese (Chinese) it sounds the same as "death", remember PowerShot skipped 4 and went to 5? (in some language D sounds like "Pig" too, which would make 4D dead pig) Yes this is FAKE!

In Chinese, "4" is indeed phonetically similar to "death" but "8" is a lucky number. Boeing took advantage of this in selling the 787-8 to Asian countries. (I think they did some promotion on July 8, 2008 also.) @Michael

Look at the image, first of all the "Mark IV" is lower res, i.e. it was resized to put it there. The "Mark IV" in the link on the left is the same, and does not fit the link. But perhaps the biggest give-away of it all is the blurring of the Mark III on the body. Come on people, if you are going to make fake leaks, at least do it properly... I think the next eos-1 series will also look differently, though I don't know if it will be even more smooth and professional, or more swiss-army knife like the D3 (which, although fugly, has a certain appeal).

My prediction is there will be no Marl IV. The number 4 is a very unlucky number in many east asian countries. I believe it means death. This is the reason Canon skipped the G4 and G8. But that's speculation mainly. It's fake based on a good deal already mentioned. It’s 27MP, but it’s also a fake 27MP.

Maybe not the 1Ds3. But with the D3 being faster, FF and 12mp, the already almost obsolete 10MP 1D3 needs a MP bump and a hi-red screen with video for sports and journalism. The 5D2 is not a pro camera. 21mp is great but the body is bad. The grip is too small, especially with long lenses, no vertical grip either, limited AF system and even the eye cup is too small. Canon needs more professional equipment. I know their bread and butter see the point snd shoots and the low end Rebel DSLR's but Nikon is outdoing Canon in both levels and that's scary. I need a 1D3 replacement desperately. The 1D3 replacement is very important to Canon.

I and V are misaligned with the latter being a bit too low. Anyway 5DII is the camera to get now, 1DsIII has somewhat lower spec and higher price tag and weight. Nikon D3X doesn't look that sexy either with 1600 ISO and 5fps. D700 probably has the most appeal to me of the other cameras. my 2 ct It looks fake to me.
