customer service and support through the creation of the new website,

customers now have direct access to product information, technology
updates, as well as photography workshops. As an answer to an
increasingly large community of global customers, Minolta Photo World
is an effective platform to bring all Minolta product users closer
together, and to show them how to take even better photographs. Access to Minolta Photo World provides Minolta customers with the opportunity to learn all about imaging, photographic techniques, and image editing on the computer. At the heart of the site is the Minolta Journal, with references to new workshop themes, new product introductions, and tips from professional photographers. Entirely customer-centric, Minolta Photo World will constantly expand and explore new topics of photography.
