There have been indications that we're going to get at least one more body this year. However if it's a K-7 replacement (which is what I suspect), it will likely be announced in late August or early September for Photokina. Thus I wouldn't expect any rumours to start for another month or two. Note I'm pretty much expecting the 'Sony sensor in K-7 body' as a K-7 Super. Probably the same 14.6MP sensor as the Sony A550 has. -- M.
