whether its a 7D Mark II or a 5D Mark III ... I think either way I'm a happy camper

don't think it's a 7DMkII, it seems a bit larger to me, which should indicate FF.

One novelty is separate switch photo/movie mode on right to viewfinder. I don't think there were any switches like that before in Canon DLSR

7D has that switch too

It probably is the new 5DMkIII. If the announcement is imminent, as I think, there should be prototypes in the field for testing among the selected ones

I'm sick of this rumor too, I'm gonna order the current version next Friday, it's back in stock

I really don't understand Canon's concern about weight with IS...  it's competing with my tripod, so I think it's an easy win!  FFS Canon!  As long as there's a switch to turn it off, there's no reason not to have it on every lens.  It's not rocket science, it's 1990's technology.

second that

Apparently the launch of the new 24-70II must be imminent as I heard from a local supplier that it's out of stock and won't be getting new stock either. Wouldn't say why however

and have matched Canon D1

Dear God, matched?? They had to quickly update their D3s just not to lose face because of the Olympics

Don't think the new 24-70 will come with IS. Also hope that the performance issues as reported in the original patent post will be resolved
