Sony
In the photo business Sony is one of the newer players. It entered the photography market in the age of digital photography. Having been active in the video business, it started in the market more experienced with electronic cameras than some of the traditional camera makers. Its first Mavica digital consumer camera was a spectacular item since its image memory was an inbuilt floppy disk drive.
Sony relies very much on the German optics designer Carl Zeiss. It was June 6th 2006 when it released the first of its DSLR cameras for Minolta's Alpha mount lenses, the Sony Alpha SLRs. This camera succeeded Konica Minolta's digital SLR series Alpha/Maxxum/Dynax and surpassed the predecessors concerning reliability. In autumn 2007 a new model, the DSLR-A700, was introduced in Italy.
