It got a wow out of me but then they don't say what the price is, and
they don't say it's going in a Sony camera either. I don't think Sony,
Minolta, Pentax or Olympus have ever sold anything like a $7,000 pro
camera and I'm not sure they would be able to sell such a thing.

Sony has no problems selling professional video cameras that cost a lot more
than $7000.

But my guess is that if you are going to see that sensor in a Sony DSLR then
it will be more in the 5D price range.
