Pro photographer and Nikon user Thom Hogan has published his predictions about digital SLR cameras for 2006. Yes, I know it’s February already, but at least you can see if some of them have already come true!

“But 2006 is the year of new entrants. Sony (piggybacking off KonicaMinolta), Panasonic (ditto with Olympus), and Samsung (ditto with Pentax) are all greedily eyeing the DSLR market growth and plan to introduce new DSLRs. I expect to see a few of those at PMA in February, with more showing up at Photokina in the fall. But let me just say up front: it’s going to be brutal.”

Brutal is certainly right, as Konica Minolta have already withdrawn from the battle.
