Hmmmm... there is still big Fuji with their own CCD technology.
Why Japanese, why not develop their cooperation with Kodak further.
I suspect that the collapse of the Japanese real estate bubble has hurt
Pentax quite a bit. Someone a while back said that most of Pentax's
market is Japan itself. The Japanese economy is struggling because their
real estate bubble burst leaving a lot of people with a crushing debt
burden. They are trying to pay off their debts and that doesn't leave
much for camera purchases.
The information regarding the Japanese economy came from some news show
I watched but it is widely reported on the net if you care to look further.
