Japan's Konica Corp. and Minolta Co., two film photography giants struggling for a foothold in the digital era, said today they had agreed on a merger that could propel them into the big league. Konica, the world's third-largest photo film maker, and Minolta, a leading maker of SLR cameras struggling after poor financial results, already have a mutual supply deal in photocopier machines and a toner joint venture.

Good thing I haven't buy the Dynax 7. Maybe got something better coming round the corner. Or will support die? Really worried. Cos I have invested some money in a few lens and I hoep that I can continue with Miolta. Cos I like their value for money approach.
