Post on an unknown camera shows up briefly on canon rumors and then disappears

[RWatkins]

There was a post on Canon rumors that had, what appeared to be a dSLR on steroids or a video camera using a dSLR like layout, from what appeared to be canon. Also, had a white Canon L lens on it, at least that is what it looked like to me.

Went to the canon museum to see if it looked like an old power shot, which it was not, and then went back to get a better look and the posting was gone.

Wonder if he got a take down request?

it was a canon L1 hi8 camera circa 1991

Thanks for the tip. Kind of dashed my hopes of a medium format/ super dSLR / video camera. Oh well, guess I'll just spend more on lenses.

Here it is, sorry to get everyones hopes up

LOL, I'd need a forklift to carry that around. Glad to see that it comes with a TV remote though... very useful

Fugly looking beat! Some good shots of it and some liberal cloning and someone could have made a great "Canon enters MF Format" thread :)

Don't be ridiculous, stealthy. You know full well that the image you posted is a photo of the Star Ship Enterprise that you've tried to disguise by blurring it and trying to trick us that you took it with your mobile phone. I for one am not falling for your tricks.

Medium format!!!!!!!!!

Ohhhhhhhhh.... I'd pay for that - yes sir I will!

[Stealthy Ninja]

I think a 70-200 1.8L H-IS lens was attached to it too (just to throw in more rumour).
