So don't sell those Minolta lenses yet, if you have them
It'll likely be introduced at PMA 2004 (february), and will be introduced at Photokina (September). "One feature unnamed will be a big surprise". My guess is it will have optical stabilisation built into the body.
Also, two new 4/3 DSLRs from Olympus (and 4/3 lenses from a major independant lens manufacturer) next year, and two from Pentax, one smaller than the *ist D, one with integrated stabilisation.
Almost all manufacturers (except Canon and Nikon, who have optically stabilized lenses) are looking to put vibration damping technology (like Minolta A1's Anti Shake) into their cams (Optical stabilization without the need for optically stabilized lenses!).
The DSLR market is finally becoming REALLY interesting.
