Sony will go with Minolta, Panasonic will go with Leitz, at least the
names, who knows where the glass will actually come from...

I'm just wondering how big these companies imagine the DSLR market
really is. I mean doesn't the vast majority just purchase a small
P&S? Do they really want to carry around a DSLR with a crappy lens
when they are going to get basically the same picture quality at the
size they normally print/view? And if the market is mainly for
amateur or prosumer, then its gonna require lenses to back it up.
Where are sony and panasonic going to go for that?

if Pentax thinks competition is tough now, wait until Sony and
Panasonic enter the market next year. for a little while anyway,
those companies can afford to lose more money gaining market share
than Pentax is worth. DSLR prices will plummet, which is good for
consumers overall, but bad for profits for the vendors, and really
bad for the owners of equipment from companies that don't make it.
think of the Contax DSLR owners. Kodak DSLRs owners at least can
change their body to Nikon or Canon, as appropriate, to buy a body
that matches their lens mount.

from even keeping up with the bottom end from other manufacturers.
