Not so bad news for Sony who will incorporate their lens mounting systems into their first true DSLR. Sony
doesn't need any help with their sensors, right, Nikon?:lol:

Don't worry rrabbit - Sony will be coming up with DSLRs using the Minolta mount (& using K.Minolta technology), so you'll still have plenty of support.
Better yet - most likely there will be more users of this mount = more sharing of personal experiences, etc. Now, it's pretty much a Canon-Nikon crowd. I see very few Olympus & K.Minolta DSLR users, and none using the Pentax DSLRs (which is now supposed to be produced by Samsung?).
