No doubt there'll be something new around the NEX system (there has to be, if they want to grab market share). With mockups I only meant the "never-seen-before" DSLRs <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

However, a pro NEX using existing alpha or Konica/Minolta lenses would have to give up one primary advantage of a micro system: compact size. There's not much you can do about the flange distance of existing lenses ... and in the end, all it would really need is a working adapter solution.
Nonetheless, judging from Klaus' reviewa and remarks, the build quality of the NEX lenses is unmatched in this segment (so, on pro level already) and there's currently noone targeting the niche market of a pro micro camera (but who knows what Oly/Pana/Nikon/[enter surprise candidate here] may come up with).
