I didn't suggest that they would do it. I only suggested that I'd buy it.

Not really. Personally, I believe the NEX-7 is too small, anyway.
Having it grow a bit is no problem.

Well, Nikon and Canon don't seem to have any problem selling FF
cameras. Sony is Sony, so who knows how successful they are. But the
fact is, that there is plenty of market there. It might not be huge,
but it is sufficient. As I recall, you bought a FF digital camera
yourself. ;)  I may be one of the few on this list that didn't.
