screen does not look 4x3...looks like a 16x9 or 16x10. For comparison:

Re: 5D Mark III Sighting?

The center lock on the mode dial seems to be inherited from the 60D.
The "Canon" brand is positioned below the LCD, just like on the 7D and 1D IV, but on the 5D II it's on the edge.

The body in the second picture is a 1D X by the way. (edit: nicely spotted, Joes Dad)

One novelty is separate switch photo/movie mode on right to viewfinder. I don't think there were any switches like that before in Canon DLSR :)
The 7D has one.

Is he really carrying a 5D III + 1D X + 600 II + 200-400 1.4?
a little bit too obtrusiv.

but it might be a sign from canon: they might be ready to drop the 500 II and 600 II as well as the 200-400 soon :)
Combine that with the announcement of a fancy 5DII and they have all the attention they need.

It looks like he is at a test-field, and then it would make a lot of sense to carry what he carries. It's not a soccer-dad, he's one of the select few with the trust of testing non-released Canon gear, NOW, the guy who took these pictures, well, he's not anymore.... ;D

The body attached to the 200-400 is the 1D X. This makes it likely this guy has the 5D III as well. Lucky guy.

forget about the equipment, he's a lucky dude just to be able to go shoot on safari in Kenya

My "Lucky guy" remark was intended to capture your sentiment as well. Paid to use top of the line equipement and travel to Kenya ... not a bad gig.

Not related to the subject of the images but looking at the EXIF the camera is identified as a 1DS3 but the original resolution is 6,144 × 4,096. Not 1Ds3 resolution. Fishy?

Not unless he changed it in the raw conversion or somewhere in the post processing..
