*UPDATE* 5D Mark III Sighting?

If anyone had bothered to download the CR2 File of the first photo they could clearly see several things:

the aspect ration of the display is 16x9
There are Cinema 1 Cinema2 and Cinema 3 settings on the shooting mode dial.

I think this is clearly an example of the Cinema EOS DSLR in the field.

Aren't those C1, C2 and C3 just a custom-settings? My 7D have those aswell.

That's correct, C1, C2, and C3 are CUSTOM, not CINEMA...

After looking at the photos and trying to determine the amount of vertical squishing of the LCD display caused by the perspective I really don't think the LCD is any where close to 16:9 instead it's closer to 1.4:1 or maybe even 4:3.

If you calculate the number of pixels the known round exposure compensation dial is verticially compared to horizontal you see the camera is squished about 32% vertically. Also if you compare the camera in picture's dimensions to a 5DmII's actual dimensions (and assume they are the same) you determine about the same squish.

Measuring the LCD screen in the picture reveals its approximately 137 pixels wide and 63 pixels horizontal. Taking into account the squish it becomes 137 pixels x 97 pixels or about 1.4:1.

These are all approximations but it's no where close to 16:9.

The LCD is the same aspect ratio as the T2i/T3i, 60D and 1DX ... 3:2.
