I am personally very interested in the Sony a7000. Dual card slots and weather sealing would be awesome for long photography trips into the wilderness. Also the fact that it can store maps for the GPS is pretty neat for emergency situations. Battery life might be a killer letdown, but wait and see.
 
I think an important fact is that every single one of Sony's newest cameras has some form of 4K video. I would be shocked if Canon marketing department axes 4K from any of their next-gen cameras.

The UHS-II dual card slots on the a7000 seems like it's going to be a speed demon. :)

Hope the new cams have lossless compression as well, but doubtful. :(

I wouldn't put too much faith into that source, seems like somebody just trying to stir the pot over on DPReview.
I would put money on it being legit. If he was a fake, I would assume there would have been IBIS mentioned, which it isn't. The specs seems exactly like what Sony would put into those models.

Incredibly impressive. The A7000 would be a killer action cam.

Still whats the point in having an action cam with no decent tele lenses? 70-200mm is about it and even track side the equivalent of 300mm isn't usually enough let alone wildlife so plenty of room to grow, the A6000 was great but still the AF of equivalent DSLRs is superior and much easier to hold for long periods of time with bigger lenses.

So you think they will ever bring out a 400mm for the cam and it be a decent combo weight size etc… I can't see that happening.

Can't wait.
The best part is that eventually Fuji is going to be using these.

That's right, isn't the (rumor) that the next X-Pro2 is going to use a Sony sensor? And if I recall the deal was Sony got to release their camera first, and then we'd see the new Fuji?

I've been so close to picking up an XE-2 to get started in the system, knowing I can always upgrade the body down the road.

But...but...didn't you see Gary Fong's completely unbiased review that showed that the 7D2 can only manage ~20% hit rate on easy subjects while the A6000 easily manages a 95%+ hit rate even in the most difficult scenarios? ;D
