I agree. Probably "something."

*SAN DIEGO, April 19* - Sony has established a new brand name,
Alpha, for its digital single lens reflex (D-SLR) cameras that will
be launched worldwide this summer. Meaning "beginning" and
"essential", the symbol alpha embodies the spirit of Sony's approach
to the DSLR market. Under this sub-brand, Sony will produce a
complete camera system of accessories and lenses to enhance the
enjoyment of photography. The Sony Alpha (TM) mount system of
cameras, lenses and accessories will integrate advanced
electromechanical technologies that are key to DSLR performance, the
versatility of the well established Maxxum (R) lens mount system,
and Sony's renown in imaging devices and technologies. These include
CCD and CMOS imaging sensors, as well as other image processing
technologies, in addition to overall product miniaturization. People
who have already made investments in many of Konica-Minolta's lenses
and accessories will be able to take full advantage of Sony's new
DSLR cameras.
"We are expanding our product portfolio to build upon our leadership
position in the digital imaging business," said James Neal, director
of marketing for digital imaging products at Sony Electronics. "Our
approach to DSLR camera design and engineering will allow us to
offer a new high-performance system for today's digital camera
users, as well as welcome the millions of Konica-Minolta owners who
have Maxxum interchangeable lenses that are currently in the
market."
Sony is already handling support and repair service for existing
Konica-Minolta digital and film cameras, as well as related lenses
and accessories in the U.S. A dedicated call center and strong
levels of web support have been established for these customers.
