As the 5616 x 3744 is the native size of a 5D Mk II, I'd assume the thief upsized (something iStock would have rejected for once upon a time even if they didn't notice the file was already in their own library...)

File dates are all messed up on iStock at the moment - files I uploaded in 2009 show as being uploaded in 2012 - so it's hard to know if either portfolio is showing the right dates
