A major manufacturer with an existing relationship will have pre-production copies and specifications
for design and testing. If Sony is going to have the chip in quantity soon then their major customers already
have something to work with.

The key word there is "currently". You can bet your bottom dollar that 8

Pentax, though, are rarely early adopters. Would they get a DSLR to market within 12 months of the sensor first becoming available?
