And from Reuters:
"Ricoh and legacy companies that supply office printing equipment such as Xerox
Corp have been looking to sell assets and focus on other areas of growth as paper
printing increasingly gives way to digital alternatives.
Earlier this year, Japan’s Fujifilm Holdings said it would buy Xerox in a $6.1
billion deal to gain scale and cut costs. That proposal has, however, hit road
blocks as two of Xerox’s top shareholders — Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason —
opposed the deal.
Ricoh, meanwhile, has already cut over 5,000 jobs in North America since
beginning of this year, the Nikkei said.
The 59-year old company has reported declining profits for the past four years.
Its stock has shed nearly two-thirds of its market value since its peak in
2007.”

IIRC, in an interview at one of the big shows last spring, a Pentax honcho said
that a K-3ii successor was their first development priority.
It’s also true, though, that Ricoh (and all the other office equipment
companies) are having a terrible time as the world abandons paper documents.

On a point of grammar, the collective noun for cormorants is not 'flock' - we
say 'a mess of cormorants', and 'a shag-bag'.

I knew a dance called "shag" (aka Collegiate Shag, which is different from
Carolina Shag). I also knew the slang meaning used chiefly by Brits.
But I just have learnt what species of birds this word applies to (especially
for people from NZ). That way it became so relevant to PDML!
But how can you make a quick profit on cormorants (especially using the
camera)?! That is impossible!
However, the PDML flock can be so flippant! ;)
