i like KM too eventhough im a nikon user. the in built anti-shake system is really a legend for KM... :thumbsup: hope sony will bring KM to a higher ground! all the best!:thumbsup:

 

[yeocolin]

Yup, its nostalgic to see the Minolta brand disappear from the equipment I use. Nevertheless, just use the equipment and hone my skill. Hopefully Sony will do a great job in R&D, post sales support and customer service.

QX

 

[jsbn]

Being one of the last converts to KM, I have only this to say to KM, "You made my shots better."

I have only this to say to Sony, "Dun screw up with the opportunities KM had given u."

I jus upgraded my D7d to ML screen. was given a notice about their transfer, below are the content of the notice.

Did they sell the showroom lenses on the last day? I was eyeing that 500mm reflex but alas no time to go down the last few days...

Hi all, I am very new to this forum and just go myself a dimage A200. Was wondering since Sony had so called bought over Konica Minolta, will all the prices of KM drop? Was just wondering did I made a bad choice in getting the A200 instead of spending more money to get the D50.

I am still abit disappointed about the merging with Sony thingy.

Yeah I am thinking of getting them to examine the AF of my 7D as well...

 

[iceberg]

as long as my camera is under warranty, can i just bring the camera in and ask for free checking of stuff like AF and stuff?
