What does this bodes for Nikon who relies on Sony for the sensors? Will you buy critical components from your competitor?
Nikon better has a second source for their sensors.... or they are in trouble.
Think about it, now that Sony has acquired KM's digital camera, I don't think they will use Carl Zeiss anymore, or will they?litefoot said:Think about it, the KM (AND Sony dSLR) users might just be quicker to experience CZ AF lenses in their dSLR than any one else. I won't be surprised KM/Sony users saying "huh? Z wat F CZ? Aren't they MF?"

may be KM & Sony can merge with others DSLR makers like Nikon, Pentax, Oly and fujifilm, then make a super DSLR to fight against Canon
Wai said:are they going to use memory stick and sell their camera at high premium like other Sony digicam?
I have a KM compact which already has both SD and MS slots. So it was something which KM (then still Minolta) had predicted.litefoot said:ARGH! MS!!!!
