I would anticipate a rise in prices. Think about the target audience for this camera -- the studio. It is not likely to be a field camera. This will compete against the high-$$ backs for the 'blads, the high-end Canon DSLR, and the 4x5 scanning backs.
Just mount this to an adapter on a 4x5 and use those nice lenses for tilt & shift. Imagine a nice Rodenstock 58mm or Super Symmar XL 110mm and now a large enough sense for some nice DOF-controlling tilt in a portrait like those old 1930s Hollywood glamor shots. This thing will certainly be gray-marketed into the US very quickly. As a result I expect your lens values to rise, especially if you are willing to sell them overseas. (I have no problem selling them to PROC, just to bring back some of our $$.)
