Konica Minolta buy out..

The Konica Minolta buyout by Sony marks the end of a glorious era in the Photography World.

I am a completely satisfied Minolta customer but then I suppose the Photography industry runs by the blessings of the Pros and not by hobbyists like me.

However having owned the XD-5 (My dad's), Maxxum 3, Maxxum 5 and numerous lenses I must say Minolta brought some really great technology at affordable prices.

Waiting for a KM+Sony DSLR with KM SLR technology wedded to the CMOS sensors of Sony. I hope the forthcmoing KMS DSLR is a nobrainer for me (Having all Minolta AF lenses) but I pray that Sony does not release it with its own range of memories.

Cause those attempts to monopoly by Sony sucks, and it has also faced the blue fighting the mp3 format. Lets hope it learns from its mistakes.
