While some of these specs don't seem right, it's likely that many will in fact be accurate. And on the heels of the Nikon D600 leak, this could be quite a competitor, but price might be a bit of an inhibitor, seeing as it'll certainly be in a different class. The question is, will people care?
Specs:
- 22 megapixels, 35mm frame
- 4.5-5fps
- Flip-out screen (I think this one is hard to believe)
- Built-in flash (also questionable)
- 19pt AF, 63-zone metering
- 3-inch LCD (maybe touchscreen... I think if it's flip-out, it will be touch screen; but not if it's fixed)
- 12,800 ISO
- New battery and grip with a GPS and Wifi grip option
- Built-in connectivity software (meaning an adapter/dongle will likely be required to fulfill the hardware needs of wireless connectivity)

UPDATE (again, from CanonRumors.com):
No flip-out screen
No built-in flash
4.5fps
Honestly, you can take out the touch screen, even the flip out screen. Give me a Full Frame sensor with solid dynamic range in a 7d body or better with 7d style autofocusing and liveview. That's all I want. I'll go out on a limb and say scrap the HD video function too. I can always rent the amazing C300.
The flip out screen on my 60D is insanely useful though...
Check out the update... :-) Sorry, Jaron. I don't mind...I think flip-outs are just another thing to break... If I want to hold the camera up, I burst 5 shots with slight adjustments and pick the best one later...not a huge deal...
So isn't the 5D Mark III what you want then?
Crazy as it sounds, I want a pop up flash.
Just to trigger my canon speedlights.
