Their PR and marketing are just behind: the latest press releases were nowhere to be found on Leica's site for hours after dpreview posts.

Was Minolta the manufacturer of Leica SLRs (in whole or in part) in the past? Did Minolta manufacture a Leica M clone in the past? Did Sony buy Minolta's camera division? Who would be a more compatible fit at Leica - Pansonic or Sony? Who would benefit more from buying Leica - Pansonic or Sony? Who would benefit more from buying Olympus - Sony or Panasonic? If Nikon becomes a part of Canon, who will be left to compete with Canon? Could there be another party interested?
