Leaked 6D Image?

[jchl97]

Photoshopped from a 7D body? Not convincing that Canon will release both the 6D and 9D. Plus the two looks exactly the same, including lighting and shadows. However, notice the mic input has 5 pinholes instead of 4 on the 7D. The numbers '6' and '9' seems to blend quite well and real as well. Interesting...

edit: 9D pic is fake as noted that it is a joke by the poster at Weibo, discuss about the 6D pic instead

The "9" definitely seems fake. Look at the way the shadow falls. It looks like the "6" has been flipped 180 degrees.

Photoshopped from 7D body but 9D looks so fake as possible 9 looks like a sticker or something for me and that 6D looks like more natural for me. But only time will show us what Canon is cooking.

Indeed. 7D has only 4 mic holes. 5D Mk III has 5 mic holes but doesnt have flash.

why would anyone leak an image of just that part of the camera anyways?

Because that's much easier to fake...

Ive found it too. What Ive found out is that it was uploaded days (8/21/2009) before 7D was announced (9/1/2009) - so maybe its a foto of a prototype that surfaced as 7D or...more probably a fake.
