Wow... I only noticed that when you mentioned it.

AmPhot this week has a newsbyte about Sony officials on tour around Europe removing the little cards with the CX designations on to avoid any interpretation that they would be the names...

You can't put any faith in something that talks about a photokina launch. There is no Photokina this year.
