Will this camera have 'mojo'???

Just heard a rumour from an industry source about a new Full Frame Sony FS5 (similar body) camera due this NAB 2016. I have heard that it will have the following:
A Full Frame Sensor (based on a Sony 6K sensor, with improved 4K from it)
Improved AF similar to the a6300,
10bit 4:2:2 Internal recording (not LongGop)
RAW output similar to the one coming to the FS5
A new Sony Touchscreen
IBIS
Improved Menu System, and easy access to commonly used features.
Improvement Colour Science
Improved White Balance
Price is slightly above the FS7
 
Seems interesting, either way I'm curious to see what rolls out at NAB next month. If not promising, then Photokina in September

I hope it's true, in another rumor website it says :"According to latest rumors Sony may announce 6K based E-mount camcorder Today" (http://thenewcamera.com/sony-6k-e-mount-camcorder-coming/)

Wow in the space of a few hours it's gone from to be announced at NAB to later today!!!

I think that rumour is someone getting in early with their NAB guesswork.

There's nothing in the spec list that would have me offloading my FS7 especially if it's a smaller body. That would be a backward step as you need a bit of mass to balance heavy glass.

We'll plug away with our FS7 until Sony releases the F65 in an FS7 size body and I can record Sony RAW as cost effectively as XAVC is right now. It's only a few years away.
 
Like I said in the other thread this is fake. A full frame sensor in a FS5 body makes no sense. We would probably see a full frame sensor in a F65 replacement before. Unless they are just sticking one of their consumer or stills sensors in a FS5 to save money. If so I won't even bother looking at it as a serious pro tool.
 
it's rated as SR2=rumor from unknown sources

a6300 rumor was at level 5 (almost certainly correct) and still some of "certain" facts were wrong. I would not care too much about this rumor at the moment.
 
I was surprised the FS5 wasn't full frame, I would have bet it would have been an A7 in a video specific body.

It makes perfect sense to me. I also expected the FS5 to have been full frame already. There's the A7S(and II), they just announced the 4K full frame surveillance camera that could have been been a derivative from this. Also we have the full frame 28-135 cine lens. That one and the new 24-70 and 70-200 2.8s would make a hell of a killer set up on a full frame video camera (in either FS5 or FS7 shape).
For an F65 replacement, aren't the Super65 or what they're called bigger than full frame sensors? And if not moste cine glass is for S35 anyway so on that level full frame makes less sense.
An affordable (rumour says slightly more than the FS7) full frame camera would also drive sales for Sony's FE lenses, which is where they're going...
