UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------
someone identify this crazy video attachment/camera?

Well this is easy. Clearly they are testing SOME kind of canon camera. Its not a 1 series for sure. It also appears to differ from the 5D and 7D in some minor bits though this could be an effect from the way the pic was taken. Clearly the model itself is blacked out, but I also see the tag near the right base that would indicate a Mark Whatever label. They wouldn't blank out the model unless they were clearly trying to hide exactly what it was, and that back probably has a purpose besides just disguise. I bet you they installed some sort of mech to allow viewing of the LCD from the eyepiece. I'd say its a 5D III or 7D II prototype getting some field work, leaning heavily towards the former.

neuroanatomist said:Still not sure it's a new camera. Probably a 5DII in a home-build video rig. The use of a non-standard hood is consistent with the 'home built' aspect. I've seen all kinds of those...here's one interesting example.
Haha! good one.

The weather sealing on the external ports (rubber covers) wrap around the front of the camera. The 5D2 doesn't look like this. If it is a 5D3 then that could be improved weather sealing.
Who's to say Canon didn't disguise the camera like car manufacturers do when they are on the Nurburgring.

I have 2 5D2's - one from when they were released and one bought with the discount a month a go.
Neither of them looks like this camera. And it is not a 1D series either. It is definitely an extremely over the top home build, or a prototype out in the field being tested...
As to which model it is a prototype for, I have not idea...

Also notice the EOS logo placement is almost directly above the name of the camera.
The 5D2 has a big gap.
Also, on the shot showing the back, you cannot see any arrows or raised dots on the battery flap.

I just put the image through smart sharpen in CS5, motion blur and IV seems to be fairly clear in the top right.
Odd place for it to be. Could the original poster supply me with the raw file? I could totally tidy this up further.
Edit: Not when an Iphone 4 was used

I must say I cheated: I posted this on a video-centric forum, and the experts there found the correct link (which, as they also pointed out, is actually very old):
