They didn't actually leave the business, they became part of Sony. Wish they had left the brand name.
I remember when Sony bought out the Minolta camera business, I was quite angry about it! I was positive that Sony was going to drive the business into the ground and ruin A-Mount. I am happy to admit that Sony did very well by A-Mount owners. I would say that they did better by Minolta users than Monolta would have ever been able to. I would have never imagined in a Million years that Sony would EVER be the top ILC dog with even Canon and Nikon trying to keep up. I had a Sony camcorder at the time that was quite expensive and a complete piece of junk, I really figured their ILC line would be the same.
P.S. Sony never did me right on that camcorder though, it spent more time being repaired than I ever got any use out of it. As soon as it was out of warranty I was just screwed!
