Here's a gif from David Chin's shot:

Look at the terminal cover on the right side of the "D700" fake,
light comes like as reflection from table to the round parts in the
front but there is no other part that gets this reflection, also the
same parts around the corner get only light from upwards. Obvious
fake, light can not hit that part that way. The 7 in the strap is
obvious fake but this is even more so.

Hmm, looking good to me. Differences:

1) bottom right side shows the camera is taller. Check it goes further down.

2) Prism top is more curved, a bit taller, clear now with animation.

3) Hinged covers.

4) The D300 is closer to camera IMO, overall D700 looks larger, if you take into account all details, right bottom, prism top and also shutter button (it looks smaller on D700), it seems that D700 was shot further from camera as D300 in these images.

5) If this is a fake, very well-done, w/o the obvious imense prism top many expected, a bit taller. It also confirms the image that was leaked from the printing office before.

Unless someone points some clear PS effect to me, I'm buying this is legit.

"why someone able to get their hands on a prototype can't take a low ISO pic with decent lighting"

Have you heard of "fool-proofing" a camera before any public release ?

then here is a fool photo, made in poor conditions, with an old cell-phone (any recent one does better)
Next stop on july first :)
 
I think the result is similar, since if you keep looking, you can see where the main differences are. Do you agree the pic is not of a D300 with just a D700 badge on it? It may be a fake, but quite interestingly done, subtle and what one may expect, about 10-15% larger than D300 overall, with a curved top similar to the D3's.

Take a look at the small thumb nails bottom right of the page 2nd up from the bottom on the right and there is the D90.

The D700 and the D90 both at the same time?

I wouldn't think so.

The folks at Nikon must be giggling like school girls. All this speculation. Amazing how much effort we put into this stuff.

As an designer and product developer, I can say for certain that marketing and design departments do not always communicate with each other. Often purposefully. Many times ignorantly.

Marketing departments have a way of testing the waters for conceptualized products just to gauge public reaction. The "D700" could be a complete hoax. Or it could be a preliminary CAD or illustrative-only version and any semblance of a real product is a long way off in form and final spec.

No matter how you slice it, evaluating such incredibly poor images with the level of scrutiny demonstrated in this and other threads is purely sport. Fun, but hardly substantive in any form.

But keep going. I’m having a good time as a spectator. ;-)

Yes, I believe it's a different camera although I'm not sure yet if there's a height difference or not. I think that could be attributed to perspective/distortion.

If the terminal covers were the same, and I couldn't see any differences in the prism I'd be sceptical of this image.

Keep lookin at the GIF. If you look, Shutter button, Nikon Logo, and Model logo are aligned. Difference you see are from the lighting and slightly different perspectives due to different focal lengths. NOW, look at the flash shoe mount. They are the same height. Most importantly, look at the left curvature of the prism housing, they both follow same line. To me this is starting to look like a big practical joke. There is no way this is a FF camera and having that perticular prism housing.

from your animation. Check that logo is slightly smaller on D700, I'd say camera a bit farther from viewer. Curve of top is not an illusion or angle thing, it's actually larger and more curved, once you take into account distance to camera. Also, bottom right goes further down, indicating camera is also taller.

Anyway, will know at some point if this actually exists, but I'm starting to believe this shot is legit.

What you are saying is making sense. Also, back of the prism, DOES look larger on the D700 shot. I am trying to see if that's blow out from the pixels.

I mentioned the practical joke as in, not a photoshop, someone actually took a D300 and did some modifications to start the rumor.

But we shall see soon :)

Not necessarily. Consider three possibilities:

1. The D700 exists and will be announced shortly. Nikon planted, allowed, or tolerated leaks.

2. The D700 exists and will be announced shortly, but Nikon wanted it to be a surprise.
3. The D700 does not exist and/or will not be announced shortly.

Only in #1 would Nikon be happy.

Even then, they might not be happy. Let's say that Nikon offered exclusivity to some major magazines in return for their holding an issue off press for a few days. Having the Internet buzzing about the product prior to the magazines appearing is going to make the magazines mad, which in turn is going to make someone at Nikon upset...

If a practical joke, well, deserves a prize, since it's subtle, no big prism case, no FX badge, a DX lens (?). Just a slight larger mod of D300 with some D3's features. Note also that the flash ligh helper lamp is just a bit farther from the top of camera. It's so consistent I'm getting convinced this beast exists!

What do you mean? All the old film cameras were FF, and many of them came with popup flash and small prism (well, they cheated, not using a prism but mirrors instead). Like on the F50:
