more blurry pictures

Do I see a retro camera strap "connector"?
That thing (what we can see of it) looks clunky, bulky and awkward...
Keeping in mind that the photos were taken with a wide-angle cell phone
camera, it doesn't look like any of those things to me.
- The left shoulder appears to be narrower than previous flagship models, so
they're going for smaller in at least one dimension.
- The prism is noticeably taller and more square, and there are no pop-up
flash seams visible. This could indicate all sorts of things, but I won't
speculate on that.
- The strap lugs have been moved to the front of the body. My guess is this
was done to better accomodate access to the little ports on the left side.
- The mode wheel now has a lock-release button, which I think was last seen
on the ZX/MZ-5 series. My guess is this was done because of the new strap
lug location and the potential for the strap to move the dial.
- The mode wheel has what looks like a movie mode (the blur between the
Green mode and User mode looks like the classic movie camera icon).
- The blue playback button has been moved to the top of the left rear side,
which could indicate changes in the rear LCD (size and/or position).
Based on photo comparisons people have posted, this blurry camera is not a
previous SLR, nor is it the 645D. Whatever it actually is, I find it to be
incredibly intriguing.
