Looks like Sony is going to have the DSLR entry that they wanted. I
was kind of figuring a move like this might happen. KM has been in
trouble financially for several years, and Sony's been itching for a
DSLR entry point. A Sony (KM) DSLR system would not be a bad thing.
Sony brings a lot of imaging and sensor expertise to the market. As
well as a fair bit of clout=money.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Panasonic has a
relationship with Olympus, and Olympus has been in financial trouble
too ... and Panasonic has announced a 4/3 system DSLR ... hmmmmm.
What does it mean for the Pentax/Samsung relationship? I have no
idea... ;-)
