[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Sony and Konica Minolta recently announced a joint agreement whereby they share technologies. Sony will have access to KM's camera body architecture (leading to Sony DSLR's with KM's lens mount), and KM gets access to Sony's chip technology. There are rumours (my damn spell check tried to change this to "rumors") from fairly reliable sources (sources whose predictions concerning KM's future have been accurate in the past) that there is more to the agreement than has been publicly announced. The same source has predicted a full frame 10+ mp KM model late 2006, perhaps benefiting from the Sony agreement (the CEO of KM has publicly admitted the development of a 9D). -dan c.
