Konica Minolta/Sony to share technology


According to DPReview.com Konica Minolta and Sony will be collaborating on a new line of DSLR's and sharing technology including Sony's CMOS sensors and Info-Lithium batteries and Konica Minolta's AF, Metering and Anti shake systems. The camera's will have Konica Minolta lense mounts. The press release does not say whether the two will collaborate on P & S consumer cams. This sounds like it could be a good match especially considering the fact that the two companies could not touch Canon's or Nikon's DSLR's in either sales or quality.
