The Mystery of the Sony branded 35mm Film Camera seen in the wild

Bought from a real physical store. But is it genuine or a fake?
We know that Sony bought the assets of Minolta. We know that Minolta had numerous film cameras in their catalogue, especially the late point and shoot cameras. We can speculate that they had many camera designs which were not manufactured but kept in the design vaults.
We know that the Minolta DNA was in the earliest Sony cameras.
There are claims that there were some Sony Film cameras. But they are hard to find. Are they real, or fake?
Come along a journey of discovery. We use the best forensic minds to investigate methodically. One moment you think they are definitely fake. Another moment you doubt that. What is the truth? Who knows...
The journey itself is fun and worth the effort.
Latest news: Since this video was published this was discovered on the Etsy store:

This is not a video camera but a film camera also branded as Sony.
Similar film cameras also exist under the Mitake V-3000 brand.
There are two videos of V-3000 on CZcams. The inside of the film chamber has a strong resemblance to the unit that I demonstrated in this video.
