He used to say Sony wouldn't make FF but something smaller due to SSS. Also, "once they have a body and the SAM/SSM Alpha adaptor, third party makers will [adapters with some degree of AF and AE for Canon/Nikon]" - 18 months after the G1 introduction, this hasn't happened yet with µ43. There are new protocols to reverse-engineer, and the AF probably works too differently to work well. I also don't see why he's singled out Canon USM. USM isn't different from other types of Canon AF in the lens protocol respect and it's not a hit for CD-AF either. We'll see how it turns out. DK’s predictions haven’t always been that accurate.
