I have wondered the same thing.
Someone talked about a "D-50, Mark II". None of the stores around here
have heard of it. It sounds like a Japanese model as they call the D-5
the D-50 over there, I've heard.
Anyhow, the December issue of ...high fidelity tells all about the
D-7. Like a D-5 only much smaller (when you consider the battery pack).
In fact, looks about the size of the D-5 when it has its battery pack
on.  So I broke down and called sony (1-800-222-SONY). They said not
released in this country until January.  I said, "That's a hell of a time
to release a new product." "It SURE is!" the young lady replied.

The D-7 is similar to the D-5 but several added features including
(HF says) programmability, shuffle play and at least some form of repeat.
With battery case included the list price is supposed to be $300 - same
list as the D-5.
