Minolta, back from the brink

Today, while waiting for a postponed haircut appointment, I walked into a camera store. I asked the fellow what he recommended in a 3 Megapixel camera for about $300. He took me to a Nikon model, then told me that for $10 more, I could have a 4 megapixel Minolta.
This surprised and delighted me. Minolta, being recommended in a camera store? Not something I've seen for... well, forever. I know that they have turned around their marketing thing, and I'm usually immune to all marketing as a rule, but it's good to see your favourite manufacturer doing well. God, I sound like a Macphile.
