Say hello to the artist formerly
known as Konica Minolta. In a press release late yesterday (or early today? 4/19 in Japan, after midnight here) Sony formally announced it's new α ("Alpha")
camera line, named after the KM lens mount. No details yet other than the name, and some standard marketing hype like
"The gateway to inspiration awaits." What we do know is that an unspecified number of cameras--the release
says "cameras," the website says "camera"--will be launched sometime this Summer and may feature
CCD sensors, CMOS sensors, or both. One concrete bit of news: Sony have set up a support site specifically for current
KM owners at http://www.support.sony.com/EN/KM/service.html, although at
the moment it's unavailable due to DNS issues, whether mine or Sony's I'm not sure.Sony Alpha announced

1. Quite possibly the worst thing to happen since "Canon..."
Just kidding, but seriously, my friend and I have made a kill/suicide pact just in case!
