Well if by releasing the camera in those markets they can better their image, perhaps it will pave the way for future products. Sure it's not set in stone, but these days things aren't as clear cut as they used to be. Sometimes you have to take a risk, maybe this is a good risk to take.

Cos. don't tend to chase near term low ROI based on fuzzy long-term rationale Owners/shareholders/investors don't seem to reward such behavior. If a low ROI line is profitable, they might keep it around until it requires more investment to keep the line open, upgrade the product, etc. if its not otherwise detracting from higher ROI products.
