 Topic: (OLD) A-Mount Camera IndexPosted: 27 December 2007 at 15:57 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This index page covers all digital SLR cameras of Sony Alpha and Minolta Alpha/Dynax/Maxxum systems. These product lines from two different manufacturers has one thing in common. It is the lens mount, which will be called the A-Mount hereafter. A-Mount was first developed by Minolta to be used in their new autofocus camera system (known as Alpha, Dynax or Maxxum across the world). It replaced the manual focus MD Mount in 1985. It soon became the first commercially successful autofocus SLR system. Over the years Minolta produced varieties of film SLRs and more than 16 million lenses which are still being widely used by the A-mount photographers. In 2003, the financial state of Minolta was not good and it had to merge with Konica to form Konica Minolta (KM). KM released the first A-mount DSLR, namely the KM 7d. But the merger did not turn out to be a financial success and in 2006 photography division of KM was sold to Sony. Today Sony continues the A-mount with their Alpha System DSLRs. All accessories produced by Minolta, KM and Sony in A-mount are compatible with each other. You can read more about A-Mount History or compare camera specifications side by side in Sony Alpha and Konica Minolta DSLR cameras page.

A very useful resource for "How can I..." and "Why can't I..." type FAQs on a whole range of KM and Sony dSLRs and Minolta film cameras, as well as lenses and flashes, can be found at Michael Hohner's site here.

To which might be added an initial system list price of around 8000 UK pounds! Edited by brettania - 25 September 2009 at 04:02 |

No RD-175, and no Mavica cameras. Reasonable.
