APS is a great format for the user - I love it for snaps. I personally do not think that Minolta's move signals the end of APS- more likely an indication that Minolta has some purse-tightening to do and cannot afford the extra R&D. If Kodak and Fuji stop developing APS technology, then the bells will start ringing. My local Costco processing center tells me 30% of their processing is APS, pretty significant I think. Anyway, the Leica C11 is a cool snapper! - - marc Jim Brick wrote: > BJP Quote > > "One of the world's leading camera manufacturers is switching its > research and development team away from the Advance Photo System format > in favour of digital. > > The decision by Minolta to stop developing new APS camera models > provides the first sign that the 24mm format, introduced just over five > years ago, may be entering its first death throws." > > Jim > > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html > - -- *** Marc Attinasi *** * mailto: marc@attinasi.org * * http://www.attinasi.org * - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
