As the title suggests, pics of an unnamed Canon DSLR have been circulating on the interwebs. The rear control layout is almost identical to my 7D, suggesting it's a 7D replacement, although one of the comments on that article puts forward that it is a 5D replacement due to the lack of an inbuilt flash. I tend to agree on this one...

According to some rumour sites, the new 5D will be called the 5DX.
Rumour also has it, that is also allows you to detect hidden metals underground so you can go prospecting.

The X for Canon means several things. First and most important, the tenth generation of EOS cameras. Canon wants to celebrate the tenth generation of EOS brand with the X in its most important models. Second but not least, means intersection/union, as in the case of Canon EOS 1DX, which unifies the D bodies. In the Canon EOS 5DX case, would mean the intersection/union of 5D and 7D bodies, the union between FF, AF and medium-speed burst.

If other rumours are to be believed, they are also splitting the 5D brand - 5DX and also 5D Mk II.

Anyway, this is not confirmed - but the actual Canon announcement is only 2 days away, on Feb 28.
