Ada berita baru setelah SONY take over KM nih :

===========================================
Somebody asked if I was still alive. Well quite sinply the answer is yes. Just got of the phone after my 64th phone call since 5.30 am this morning. To answer a few questions here. Will the 7Di look the same as the existing 7D? Yes it will with all the dials etc. Exterior wise virtually the same camera. The major difference occurs inside the body. A few new chips here and there (sorry I can't be mmore specific). Faster write time, lightening AF speed, new sony cmos 10.3 MP sensor. Price wise around the same price when the 7D first came out depending on where one buys it.

Now everybody is asking about firmware update on the existing 7D. I know what I said in a previous forum which in a way I should not have as things change so quick in the digital world today. So now I have learnt not to mention things so far in advance because if it does not materialized I am class as a fraud etc. Will there be a firmware upgrade? Because of the merger with Sony and the new 7D will incorporate a lot of that new technology a firmware upgrade might not be a benefit to the existing 7D. I will have proper confirmation on this within the next few days.

I am now going to throw a spanner in the works here and provided I don't get my head chopped off from powers above me above me there will be a second DSLR (KM) releasesd at PMA. Regarding new glass I will be getting confirmation within the next few days.


Thanks Kiklop. KM has a lot of new and exciting products around the corner. As you are aware that PMA starts on February 26th - March 1st in Orlando. I will be there for only two days. If you happen to turn up I will say Hi to you. KM are on stand 3350.

News is from KMSEA

Kalau berdasarkan latest news dari Reuters, ada beberapa clues nih:

• Sony is the world's No. 2 digital camera maker behind Canon Inc. but it currently has no presence in the potentially lucrative digital SLR market, having lacked the history selling interchangeable lenses for film SLRs to warrant a push.
• Yutaka Nakagawa, president of Sony's digital imaging business group, told reporters the company would aim for 20-25 percent of the fast-growing digital SLR market by focusing on relatively inexpensive models that could achieve mass-market appeal.
• Sony plans to launch its first model this summer based on Konica Minolta's Maxxum/Dynax mount system, meaning that existing owners of those lenses -- Konica Minolta sold about 16 million lenses over the years -- will be able to use them on Sony's SLR.

Jadi, yang sudah pasti saja ya, old minolta users nggak perlu was2 soal compatibility :D
Terus mudah2an after salesnya Minolta, yang selama ini jadi handicap terbesarnya untuk menarik minat konsumen baru, bakal improve lah ya. Sony kayaknya cukup bisa diandalkan kalau udah soal jaringan servis consumer product mah.
