Nah, Sony have a history of making their own standards. In this case
  it will be hard even for them to enter the DSLR market on a totally
  new mount/format, but rather than adhere to a open standard, I think
  it will appeal more to them the available Contax name / mount /
  client base. Time will tell.

  Maybe Sony's interest in the DSLR arena will boost their R&D in
  large sensors as well potentially disrupting Canon's ruling, which
  is a good thing. Who knows, the affordable full frame sensor might
  even get closer than we expect. And hey, maybe Foveon is on their
  shopping list as well, and that great idea of 3d sensor is not
  buried for ever...
