Now there's an understatement. Sony has a long long history in digital imaging products of all kinds, from bottom level consumer to highest end pro. In volume sales of digital cameras, they are right behind Canon.
They've been itching to get into the higher-end digital still camera game for a number of years with an interchangeable lens SLR. Buying the Konica Minolta assets will, I think, make them a major player very rapidly.
