Interesting - I don't see it for Canon either back then. Looking back at what they were making, there is no way they could have dominated yet. I had thought that Canon only started to gain over ...

But dominated how? You won't find a single Maxxum 7000 for sale on KEH. But you will find dozens of FM2As, F3's etc. Again, I'm going by the apparent population that's still left. So either the ...

Or inundating the market with white shirted/striped tie salesmen as in IBM.

Maybe in sales for a time, but I can't find any evidence that Minolta ever dominated market share. I'm looking at what's available at KEH and there are a total of 4 Minolta bodies vs. dozens of ...

Where would I get that information from? My assumption is that pros, including journalists was a much higher percentage. I'm having my doubts about that. Any way to confirm it? Given what's ...

Agree - although I still curse the ones who broke into my house because they took, among other things, my favorite watch and my favorite parka. But it was the sense of violation that I was most ...

They may have been number 1 in sales for a while, but I doubt they gained significant market share. They might have been selling more or growing market share, but the pro market still preferred ...

Nice attitude. But just because you're different doesn't mean you're going to sell much product.

How could you not? So how much did they lose? Don't be embarrassed,they are full frame sensors. But what you're proposing with the larger sensor is something that would cost a lot more than full ...

Ask the general consumer public and I'll bet they know Samsung more than they do Minolta. Ask any camera enthusiast and they already know the Samsung name quite well. I'm not sure Samsung needs a ...

It has potential - perhaps it is what Lytro should have been but missed. The image quality seems good as well.

However, 50Mp of file size doesn't necessarily mean it's resolving any more detail...

$1200? I think it's killing itself. But even so, it appears to create nicer images than Lytro which is the first thing that comes to mind.

If CBS condones this kind of "request", they're sinking pretty low. You don't just ask casually on a social media platform if you can use material "across all our platforms". There are legal ...

I'm sure this account regularly tweets - but I doubt it's truly CBS. Sounds like phishing to me. Who would say "may we have permission to use these photos on all of our platforms"? This isn't CBS ...

I'm still not believing that this was a real CBS person. It just seems far fetched to me.

Send me a link to all your photos - I'll make sure the wider public gets them and distributes them freely. I promise I'll tell people they were yours. Do we have a deal? It's not that they're ...

You don't have to get upset and roll your eyes, just respond with how much he charges instead.

You don't have to be rude. You could have just replied with your fee.

Don't worry, I just gave all of your photos to NBC and CNN - told them they were royalty free and didn't require attribution. That was OK, yes?

Could very well be - I'm looking all over for the stunning images. Certainly there are some!
