Maybe this is HarryFilm's mythical Canon MFD with all-new lens mount.

I doubt it...The thing I saw was MUCH BIGGER
than a 1DxMk2 with a lens mount nearly the size of an
Arri Alexa-65 mount in my opinion and that was based
upon a hasty measurement using comparisons to hand
size and common on-table items.
AND it had actual Canon markings and branding that indicated
to me full-on, near-ready-for-market program development.
The thing I saw LOOKED LIKE A 1DxMk2 but bigger so it
is geared obviously for the PRO-level and at a quoted price
point of 16 000 Euros ($20,000+ US) I suspect Canon wants
Hasselblad's and Leica's market!
Anyways, I still get bits and pieces form multiple online sources that say
sometime likely in 2018/2019 we will at least get an announcement!
And YES! I still get those same sources saying this is a 50 megapixel
16-bits per colour channel 4:4:4 RAW MF large-sensor camera at 25 FPS
burst rate for 3 to 4 seconds to internal SSD flash hard drives!

The full-frame mirrorless camera that is being espoused here,
I would not be surprised to be set as a replacement for the
1Dc series which was the video-specific version of the 1Dx series.
I would also not be surprised to see a built-in on-body diopter-like
adapter mount that takes NORMAL EF series lenses so you
can continue to buy normal canon L-series lenses!
I bet you TWO double-chocolate doughnuts that
this will be announced in August!
