Now this is getting silly. The "anticipation" cow has been milked dry over the last 12 months.

I doubt a 5D will have a grip like that..probably a new 1D.

Obviously. However, the 1DIII replacement should be due out soon as well.

They're typically not photographed together.

Boy, what a poorly-taken photo...it's so underexposed! I can't believe Canon would even put that on their website. The light to the left doesn't have enough juice to properly light the camera.








:p

Look where the flash is - doesn't look like there is built in flash, and kinda has that 5D look to it.

Comparison

Adjusting the levels in Photoshop, it is clearer that there are indeed 4 buttons on the left. (right side of camera) Seeing as the 5D currently has 4 buttons, it looks to be the 5D successor!!! Additionally, you can see the blurry-grey part makes it look like it's not a full-size body. (1D-series)

Woohoo! :D
