  • Minolta prices going down – Time to buy?

    Minolta prices going down – Time to buy?

    After the announcement of the demise of Konica-Minolta, and its replacement with Sony (actually in place now that April came), I asked myself what is now the consequence of this on camera prices.

  • Nikon better operating profits

    Nikon better operating profits

  • First legal movie downloads in the US

    That’s just the beginning. Movielink and CinemaNow are now the first significant (and legal) source for movie downloads. The big question is still “will they succeed?” Two issues are key here. First, the movies are protected by a DRM solution that limits significantly the ways you can use the movies you just bought. Second, and…
