Canon Rumors:

Update

The general consensus is that this is fake!

Bob Howland:
I have no idea if it's fake, but the lens is huge and its focal length indicates an APS-C sensor.

neuroanatomist:
I find it odd that it doesn't say Canon on the front of the camera (not counting the text around the lens).  I'm not sure that Canon has ever sold a camera without the logo visible on the front.  Sometimes it's on the pop-up flash, but it doesn't look like that will have a visible front edge here.  But that's a minor point.

The more significant point is the 16.1-80.5mm focal range - assuming they are keeping the same 5x FF equivalent range (28-140mm), did Canon really increase the sensor size from a crop factor of 4.6x to a crop factor of ~1.7x, the same as most of their dSLRs?  I doubt that!  On a G-series scale, the lens as pictured doesn't look capable of delivering an image circle at 16mm f/2.8 that's large enough to cover a 1.7x crop sensor.

pedro:
without knowing too much photoshop technique to me it looks fakish...

Wow that'd be super awesome.
I've been holding off not to buy either G10 or G11, if it is indeed APS-C sized sensor, I'll continue to keep my 1D and use this as a carry-around camera and not going for some of the other cool mirror-less "EVIL" cams. :P
