4 Minolta DSLRs so far:
1 & 2 = Video backs (shocking!) for the Minolta AF 7000 and 9000
3 = Minolta RD175 (also released by Agfa)
4 = Minolta RD3000 (reviewed as having highest color accuracy of it's time - Minolta is NOT naive here!)
... I expect Konica Minolta will NOT make a back for current cameras since they want to sell to MORE than current owners - they want to bring in NEW customers as well. Also, with a fully integrated DSLR, the manufacturer has complete control over total performance, whereas a back could be misaligned by the end user and compromise Konica Minolta's reputation without Konica Minolta being able to do anything about it - hey, the back works at the lab!
