The news of the day is announce made by Sony. Sony will show us some dSLR cameras of its own in product line called ? (pronounced "alpha") - the name Konica-Minolta used on Japanese market.
Actually, this was expected to happen. Sony took Konica-Minolta' part of the digital photography market.
Konica-Minolta owners were waiting to hear if the old mount system will be held. Same question for flash contacts and many other.
From earlier announcements, it is clear that Sony will take warrant service for existing clients. Now, owners of expensive lenses for Konica-Minolta can breathe freely. New dSLR cameras from Sony will be compatible with this part of their equipment.
Nothing else is said in the announcement, except that we might see some early models this summer.
I look forward to see how Sony will enter on this market, but I expect no other than brilliance. After introducing an excellent R1, it is time to take a step further and create even bigger challenge for competitors.
