<p>I think it’s safe to say these images are real.</p>

Looks real to me.
Looks like a 7D body (movie switch, power-on switch) but with beginner's modes on the mode dial.
And an articulating screen obviously!

 

[match14]

Things missing that are on 50D are :-

C1 and C2 on the mode dial only C now (looks like a push button in the center of the mode dial is that for C settings?)

No picture style button

Looks like most of these are to be done via the Q menu

Also buttons appear to be scattered around a bit.

This level of detail usually only appears a week or less from announcement, so, if they are real, an announcement will be here soon. This camera seems to be aimed at the D90 sucessor, so I expect the price to be similar.

I won't miss him!

And this means: yes, it's the 60D we are looking at.
What a pity I recently got myself a 7D 8)

If it is not a fake, the articulating screen appears to be there... so probably also the 18 MP sensor is there. Not that I'm particularly disappointed to find the 7D sensor inside what is probably going to be my 2nd body replacement, but, frankly, after having heard about a possible lower MP FF sensor in the very recently rumored "hybrid flagship", I was hoping Canon might do the same with the 60D. After all, 2x18MP APS-C cameras are already available from Canon, therefore diversifying its commercial offer could have proven a successful move.

I do think that having the highest pixel-count in the APS-C market actually is a very successful move (from an economic perspective).

By the way, lower pixel count does not mean lower noise.
Most people compare noise levels at 100% view which does not reflect reality - it's the whole image that counts.
After all, the amount of light that hits the sensor is only depending on total sensor surface area (excluding microlens gaps of course) and not on pixel size.

Finally
This looks like the real thing.
I guess the rumors about the swivel screen were true after all.

 

[Peerke]

Lets hope it makes better pictures than these shown here ;D.

 

[LukeS]

I really hope it has the 3:2, 1,040,000 pixel screen from T2i (550D).

 

[Teilo]

If that isn't real, it is one of the most astounding fakes I have ever seen.

 

[Stuart]

Finaly
This looks like the real thing.
I guess the rumors about the swivel screen were true after all.

Exciting if true, even is the same sensor, and perhaps a smallish screen.
I've Not used a flip out screen before and it might be odd for a while to flip it out 180 degrees, then rotate it 90 degrees up for down for high or low work where the viewfinder is not the best option.
Good, looks like no GPS antenna plate. The conenction rubber cover looks big enough to have HDMI ?
I wonder if its got digic V or any other cool features such as WiFi.
Hope full time movie AF is not mising.

 

[afrank99]

They took away a lot of buttons I want settings to be easier to change not the other way around. Also I really hope it has the 3:2, 1,040,000 pixel screen on the T2i.

The only button that is missing is the (rather useless IMHO) picture style button as far as I can see.
No - wait - there's no direct print button!
Is this the one that you desperately are looking for?

BTW, the screen doesn't look like 3:2 to me.

I do agree with you concerning the noise. in fact I didn't mention noise at all. But I have to disagree on your first statement. Not absolutely, in that if Canon had only 1 APS-C body, it'd better go with 18MP. But, given that there is a HUGE demand among photographers - especially pros - for a lower MP APS-C camera, maybe offering 2x18MP and one, say, 12-14MP bodies would better cover the customers' needs. Personally, I would love to have a lower MP APS-C body to complement my 5DII in replacement of my old 300D (yes, I still use, though not much, the original Rebel!).

 

[LukeS]

It you look closely at the second shot you will see he is recording or taking a shot of a airplane and you can see some of the on screen displays. I had to crop it and reduce quality to fit under the max attachment size.

I don't see any advantage in having a lower pixel count.
Not noise wise, not dynamic range wise and obviously not detail wise.
If it's the file sizes, why not use mRAW?
Some guys even say the 7D produces 10MP mRAWs that look better than any 12 or 14MP DSLR.

 

[pedro]

I strongly believe that this is the 60D taken with the TBA 1DsIV ;-)

 

[pgabor]

Pentaprism looks kinda big, maybe vf is 100%? And btw, whats that blue button in the lower right "corner"?

 

[that1guy]

Fun stuff...are there any guesses as to when we will have the "official" announcement?
