Revision as of 17:26, 21 January 2005

Minolta is often thought of as a second rung camera manufacturer in the photography world, one step below Nikon and Canon. However, Minolta has been a pioneer in a number of ways. They were the first to develop the Autofocus SLR with the Maxxum/Dynax 7000. The Maxxum/Dynax 7 had a revolutionary user interface and the Dimage 7 in many ways created the Prosumer Digital catagory of cameras. They also generally have a very competitive price/performance ratio.

Minolta has had a small but dedicated following among some professional photographers.

One critisism of Minolta has been their slowness to get onboard with a digital SLR camera that was compatible with the Maxxum lenses. In late November 2004, Konica Minolta finally released the much anticipated Maxxum 7D DSLR.

In 2004 (?) Minolta merged with Konica to form Konica Minolta. All new camera's after that time were badged as Konica Minolta (see also Konica Minolta).
