What happened to the old Minolta users?

[Drudkh]

Are they missing?
Had they given up photography because Minolta was slow and kinda dead in the past?
Or had they forgotten about ClubSNAP?

I still remember approx 1 year ago, my first Minolta outing to the Jurong Bird Park with 3 gurus. I was so hmmm, how to say? "Paisey"? I was using the Dimage A1 at that time which I bought in April 2004. There were Sulhan, Forbytes, LordHawke and me. 3 of them using their Dynax 7 film and forbytes with his 80-200 white tele. It was great fun though.

Memories. Oh, I remembered Sulhan has a panning shot of a parrot or a bird in flight?
