Race to Digital claims its first major victim
15/08/07
In a surprise move,Konica Minolta,a leading producer of cameras,both film and digital has withdrawn out of the camera market entirely.The announcement was surprising given that the company had only recently launched the Dynax 5D Digital SLR camera,a follow up to their successful Dynax 7 Digital.
The pull out,which took effect at the end of March 2006 consigned the customer service operations for Konica Minolta cameras and related products* to Sony, and Sony now provide all service operations from that date onward.
* Konica Minolta, Konica and Minolta brand film cameras, digital still cameras, lenses, accessories etc.
