Supposedly? If so that is good news so long as it doesn't cost nearly as much as a kit. It's worth waiting a bit just in case

...so what source did this come from and any information on a potential price point?

I think the rumor is that it will sell for the same price as it does in Canada, $169. At that price, you might be better off still buying it as part of a kit and selling off the body.

I don't remember exactly, but it was either an article or reputable member here. We need that and the cap lens too.

Well considering bodies are not getting much more than$120 or so (saturated market) and best deals at the moment seem to be around $280 for kits I think I'll skip trying to offload one. Also I would probably end up just keeping it as a spare if I were to only get a little over $100 for one

so in the end it would cost me more I guess

There is talk of a cap lens?

Yes, by this summer, hopefully.

What are we looking at in terms of possible specs? I'll have to have a closer look at that road map poster I guess...
