Will we ever get this 8k Sharp MFT camera?

There has been now a very long silence around this new Sharp 8K Micro Four Thirds camera. Something must have gone wrong at Sharp because they told us it would ship sometimes in late 2019.

Now CES 2020 is coming and I hope that 1 year after the unveiling they will finally give us the final answer if this camera will make it into production or not!
