Yes, but knowing Sony in about 12 mo. after the NEX 7 release they sure will bring something of a replacement. The 7 got decent sales and the 6 is placed lower than the 7. There must be a 7 replacement before the FF NEX which is a year from now and need a few lenses for the line up.

It's been more than 12 months already, but otherwise agreed, we'll definitely see a new 7 this year. It's awkward line-up wise that the 6 has things like the Hybrid AF, Wireless, and new hotshoe that the 7 doesn't.

I predict just a mild warm-over with mainly those three things added, but it will be really interesting to see if they can do anything about the wide-angle lens situation. The lens-sensor registration distance is immutable, so that leaves either something new about the sensor physically (a new coating or pixel arrangement?) or further digital correction (firmware).
