Cameras with the live view function can focus and much more in conditions bordering on the ridiculous. I suspect you're right about the next Sony camera, though I expect they're trying to pull an Apple halo trick; i.e, by buying a FF NEX that can mount lenses from any manufacturer, they're hoping they'll slowly get your glass business as well, as you discover that glass older than a decade is out-resolved by the image sensors.
