What is Minolta?
1.
Electronics company, recently merged with Konica to become Konica-Minolta.
As previous poster said, they have become pretty crappy. However, I recently bought a 1972 Minolta ST-202, and I must say this is the best camera ever made.
Minolta: Good thirty years ago, crap now.
Man, that flower looks so kickass, I almost shit my pants. Probably because I took the picture with my Minolta ST-202.

2.
A poorly run company that sold a variety of mediocre products ranging from office equipment to cameras and medical equipment. This company was recently bought out by (or 'merged with' according to press releases) with Konica Corporation.
My camera works poorly because it was made by Minolta.
