a couple of notes on those two articles. apparently in the Pentax press
release announcing earnings, they said something to the effect of
"senior management will stop designing its cameras.
What is that supposed to mean? 'And start managing the company'? ;-)
also, they have decided to target designs to specific markets, such as
the US and Europe, instead of having the same designs for domestic and
export."
Hmmm, seems like a bad move. Some people in Europe are already screaming
they don't get the DS2... I expected them to make niche models for _user_
markets, not _geographical_ markets. A splashproof DL as upgrade for Optio
WR and WP users would be a nice start...
Konica Minolta has stated and seems really to be pulling out of all but
the highest end P&S digital market and concentrating most of its efforts
on DSLRs. still, from all reports, KM seems to be selling more DSLRs
than Pentax, almost twice the rate.
That is a suprise.
Thanks for the information,
