Konica Minolta Hexar RF?

[rover]

Is there any word on the fate of the Hexar RF in the new Konica Minolta? I noticed it is not mentioned on their new web site. I hope it is not put in a line with the Minolta DSLR that seems to never be coming.

I have no word on the Hexar RF other than a rep who said that all future cameras, both film and digital, will be badged Minolta. I sort of hoped that they'd put a manual advance in it and call it a CLE II. Oh, well.......

Does that mean the ugly Konica p&s will be sold as Minolta now? I thought it would be the other way around, as Konica seems to be a larger partner.

I had previously heard that the cameras would carry the Minolta name and business machines Konica. I don't know of all the Konica cameras, but it appears right now that their web site is only showing the Minolta heritage ones.

At the photo.net Leica forum someone said the Konica won't be discontinued, but it won't be exported to the US any more...

Now, I wonder, what will it be of the KM lenses?
