Well if this comes true I will be amazed but happy. It has a realistic premise in that the suggestion is KM will manufacture the next two or three DSLR bodies for Sony.
That seems to fit in with the real fact that even Sony would have struggled to set up a full DSRL production facility in sucha short period and develop new stuff.
There is little doubt KM would have been well advanced on design/manufacture prep on new models before the full handover. It also fits in with KM having moved their lens manufacturing. And it is in line with the press releases about "cameras manufactured by KM for Sony"
