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. ------------------------------------------------------------

The picture seems to be zoomed in very far, judging from the tiny white square/spot inside the big black (grey) rectangle representing the full photo size. It's not a frame-filling bird portrait, I don't think. Or maybe it is, and it's just a really big bird...thatcherk1 said:

vlim said:A portrait of a bird with a 600mm lens, so can we say it's not a full frame body ? So a 7D mk II looks more realistic :Of course we ignore the distance between this guy and the bird but...
If you check the screen, it's also zoomed in to 100% view, and if it's 25mp's, then it's pretty far in.

Re: 5D Mark III Sighting?
I have, running 3 cameras shooting video and kept accidentally turning the dial while turning the camera on. I mean when you flip the switch its pretty easy to accidentally nudge the dial at the same time, it happen several times. I kept thinking someone was switching it to aperture priority and was getting very frustrated. It happens, maybe not to you, but it does. You don't have to use the lock if you don't want to.

This thread is cracking me up.... I just realised I came up to turn my computer off, 2 hours later I'm still at my desk, thinking I need to wake up again in 6 hours. Love this site!

Just another thought and vote for 5D Mk III:
One of key features of 7D was ability to wirelessly fire speedlights (first body to have this feature as far as I know) so why would they just leave that concept and change it to no-po-up-flash body ? That would be strange, if you ask me. Unless there is some build-in radio controller but I guess this is not possible/plausible – due to different wireless radio standards across the globe.
What do you think ?

"Canon has already stated that they do not intend to drop the APS-H format sensor, what somehow is contrary to general assumption after the launch of the EOS-1D X."
(http://www.pixiq.com/article/canon-is-aps-h-going-to-be-a-video-format%3F )
So if Canon isn't going to drop APS-H as a sensor format, then an APS-H body would make sense. If this is an APS-H body, that would explain the viewfinder shape yet 'narrow' inside viewfinder edges as well as the lack of pop-up flash. It'd fit Canon's claim that they aren't dropping APS-H.
The only "tough nut" would be that aps-c lenses could no longer be used on such a body, and the crop factor for tele is reduced compared to APS-C bodies. It would be a different camera line / model than the 7D or 5D, not just a 7D 'upgrade'. If, indeed, this would be an APS-H body.

See, I'm at work with nothing to do. I've been refreshing gmail, facebook, and cr every 5 minutes because I'm so bored. gmail and facebook aren't giving me anything new. Luckily this thread is blowing up which is keeping me entertained.
Thanks everyone.
Canon just emailed me and told me that the camera in question is the 3.14159D mark niner

It even shows the subspecies expexted in Kenya, the shot could well have been taken in popular Masai Mara: http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http://travel.mongabay.com/kenya/600/kenya_2759a.jpg&imgrefurl=http://travel.mongabay.com/kenya/images/kenya_2759a.html&usg=__Z3zWjpJdXUSMOzUmuUgSmUz3ZSA=&h=374&w=600&sz=59&hl=de&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=5JSdi7eDZrSpKM:&tbnh=153&tbnw=230&ei=FOEdT-fmC4-Vswa435ybDA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dguineafowl%2Bkenya%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dde%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DSGo%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:defficial%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D878%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=193&vpy=465&dur=2210&hovh=177&hovw=284&tx=198&ty=85&sig=117232076268788137429&page=1&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:0
Partly repeating myself here, but this to people who question:
I hadn't realized there were pictures around with more background: http://blog.apertureacademy.com/2012/01/canon-200-400mm-and-600mm-prototype.html
This truely looks like the Masai Mara, wide sloping grasslands interspersed by gallery forest. And the zoomed in head profile shows a bird species (down to subspecies level) to be expected in the Mara. This faunical match is something fakes usually don't deliver. If it is a fake: chapeau!

Re: 5D Mark III Sighting?
I do. Hours and hours walking around streets with my 5DII hanging at my side, or hours and hours hiking through the wilderness with my 7D hanging at my side.
Number of times I've accidentally rotated a mode dial? Perhaps 3-4.
Number of missed shots resulting from that? One - the first time.
Number of times I've looked up to see an action scene unfolding on front of me or a bird flying close by, and been able to quickly spin the mode dial to the hard stop at C3 to get the shot? Probably in the hundreds.
Number of missed shots resulting from having to press a button before spinning a dial? I don't know, but I can almost guarantee it'll be more than one.
