Here\'s a grab of that photo of the mystery camera that I\'ve cropped, rotated, and upsized and highlighted a few things.
1. Locking mode dial like 60D and the 7D mod. Also no pop-up flash but a large pentaprism bulge so FF
2. Direct Print just won\'t die! But what is the main function of this button? Has the picture styles button disappeared? (Not that I ever used it.)
3. \"Rate\" Since it\'s a \"blue\" button it relates somehow to images (or movies) already recorded to the card. Surely it\'s not intended to allow you to rate your images as you view them on the LCD? If so, it\'s another wasted button (like direct print).
4. Canon\'s version of \"stealth\" mode: put tape over the logo!
5. Excellent ergonomic improvement. Makes portrait shooting with the grip a lot easier.
6. More goodness. 7D-style Live View/Movie button and multifunction button. The M.Fn button suggests that the camera has 7D/1DX-style AF modes. It can\'t be seen in this photo but I\'m willing to bet that it also has an additional M.Fn button paired with a relocated DOF preview button on the right front of the body like the 1DX (and also on the grip).
