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).

Although I also wish for a sensor that is classic RF wide friendly, Sony does not have to do it because their new ultra wides can be designed differently to accommodate the colorshift issues. After all they want you to buy Sony lenses, ...

But doesn't the new 10-18 show the same issue, at least in uncorrected RAW? I don't think this is so easy to fix with a bit of lens tinkering.
