Don't know whether you followed the corpse, but K-M is now Sony branded, at least for purposes of giving them entre into the dslr world. Their compact digicams are all kaput, though.

They've heaped in a lot of new features and imaging chips, etc. into the bodies, and are teaming with Zeiss on new lenses, but one can only hope the cameras don't exhibit the typical spotty Sony QA/QC, which was once a K-M strong suit.
