	Minolta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On January 19, 2006, Konica Minolta announced that they were leaving the camera and photo business [1] and that they would sell a portion of its SLR camera business to Sony as part of its move to pull completely out of the business of selling cameras and photographic film.
		In the 1960s Minolta introduced its SR and later SRT (for SR with through-the-lens metering) series 35mm SLR cameras which are widely regarded as some of the most innovative single lens reflex (SLR) cameras of the era.
		In 1977, Minolta introduced the XD-11, the first multi-mode 35 mm compact SLR system camera is considered by many to be the best manual-focus 35mm SLR Minolta ever produced, and the last serious attempt by Minolta to enter the professional and semi-professional 35mm SLR market until the Maxxum 9 in 1998.

	Konica Minolta A2 Review
		Since these five cameras all use the same chip, and most have fairly similarly configured lenses, it is very interesting to have a look at how these cameras differ, not only in their design, features and construction, but also in the image quality that they are able to obtain.
		The Minolta hot-shoe design is indeed superior to a standard one, but it's a real pain not to be able to use accessories, or a less expensive flash unit.
		Minolta indicates that a set of six rechargeable AA batteries will give about half the shooting power of the dedicated lithiums.

	Minolta X-700 SLR camera - Index Page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		However, in 1981 - Minolta released a midrange SLR camera which had many industry observers' eyebrows raised because the camera came with an entirely different concept and has reverted back to basic where priority set on user friendliness and ease of operation, it was an instant success.
		Commercially, it was a tremendous success for Minolta and it also signified the rebirth of another dominant force in 35mm market place as Minolta continued to spring surprises years that followed.
		Minolta X-700's aperture-priority AE mode lets you control the depth of field but still maintain AE control of stepless shutter speeds fine-tuned for proper exposure with light metered up to the instant of exposure.

	MINOLTA SLR LENS MOUNTS
		Minolta lenses are the longest running series of SLR lens-camera compatabilities -- 1958 to the present.
		Minolta was able to avoid this whole problem of "stop-down" metering because they had designed most of their lenses, from the beginning, to have the aperture ring next to the camera body.
		All Minolta had to do was make a minor modification to the f-stop ring on their lenses to tell the meter what the f-stop was set at.

	MINOLTA VIEWFINDER CAMERAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This approach was destined to be used later Minolta SLR cameras, such as the SR-3, while other SLR cameras, such as the Olympus OM-1 and the Nikkormat FT's opted to keep the shutter speed dial around the lens.
		Some suggest that Minolta decided to put their energies into SLR cameras, like the SR-2 of 1958, but Minolta continued to make top-end rangefinder cameras.
		Minolta discovered that there just weren't that many people dying to have such a fast shutter speed, and the V camera line died with the V3.

	Brief History of Minolta Cameras - Photoxels
		Minolta is one camera manufacturer that seems to have kept this in mind as it moved into the digital photography age.
		To understand a little bit the impact that Minolta's introduction of the first autofocus SLR camera had at that time, here's an anecdote one of our readers, David Yan, sent us: "In my memory, minolta was the first camera manufacturer which brought auto focus into cameras in their 7000 and 9000 series.
		Minolta cameras have their ardent fans around the world, and for good reasons.

	Minolta DiMAGE G500: Digital Photography Review
		The second camera in Minoltas new camera announcements is the DiMAGE G500.
		This camera appears to be the first which has come out of the union of Konica and Minolta, it looks an awful lot like the Konica KD-510 Zoom.
		Dressed in an elegantly styled metal case, the Minolta DiMAGE G500 measures only 3.7 x 2.2 x 1.2 inches and weighing a mere 7 ounces, and can be easily slipped into a pocket or bag.

		The Minolta XG-1 uses Minolta's famed MD bayonet mount for a wide variety of lenses.
		Minolta began making cameras in 1928 as the "Nichi-doku Shashinki Shokai" (Japanese-German Camera Factory) and in 1937 was renamed Chiyoda Kogaku Seiko Kabushiki Kaisha or Chiyoko for short.
		I remember when in 1986, my dad brought home his shiny new Minolta 7000 and handed me down his old Pentax Spotmatic SPII (which still have).

		The Minolta X-700 SLR was first marketed in Oct. 1981 and won the European Camera of the Year award (Source: Minolta Corporate History).
		Minolta had an extensive line of fixed length and zoom lenses in the 1970s when they were still pursuing the professional market with cameras such as the XK Motor.
		The reason it works is because most of Minolta's X bodies (XD, X) take a light reading after stopping down the lens and adjust the shutter speed accordingly.

	The Minolta XD-7 - Multimodes SLR camera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Anyway, this is a extremely well made SLR camera, if your primarily interest is not on autofocus or modern fancy metering, this can be a very attractive used entry camera model to be seriously take into consideration.
		Of cause, other than compatibility issues with the new AF mount design, the biggest advantage for such older series of manual focus Minolta cameras is because it is more economical if you have a tight waist belt to spend.

	Konica Minolta throws in the towel, quits the camera biz - Engadget
		Not to be outdone by Nikon, who recently announced a nearly complete exit of the film-based camera business, Konica Minolta has just announced that they're pulling out of the camera biz altogether.
		Sony will be continue to manufacture cameras compatible with Konica Minolta lenses, which furthers a partnership the two companies formed last year, and will receive some of Konica Minolta's DSLR related assets.
		Minolta Maxxum SLRs and lenses have been available in large numbers from liquidation sites like Overstock.com; maybe that should have been a clue.

		The Minolta 16 P is a subminiature camera made by Minolta during the 1960s.
		The interesting thing is that although it looks like a Type 110/Instamatic camera, it actually takes a 16mm cartridge.
		A little bit more research on this web site and I discover that my unit is actually the Minolta 16 Ps and that the second shutter speed is indeed 1/30 sec.

		Based on the user-friendly graphic interface of Minolta's film scanner driver software, photographers can change tone curve/histogram, brightness/contrast/color pallet, hue/saturation/lightness, and sharpness of the raw data and save the image as a 16-bit TIFF.

	Minolta 7SII
		Some Minolta fans believe the 7sII has the same lens as the Minolta produced 40/2 Leica CL, a claim which I found extremely hard to believe considering the price difference.
		The Minolta 7sII cases are well made and seem to last the years, in contrast to the cases for contemporary Canon and Olympus compact rangefinders which seem to self destruct.
		The Minolta 7sII is small, nicely made, and offers both AE and manual exposure.
