Re: A little OT - Olympus selling camera business
Interesting take, but based on prior performance, it's not the way I'd bet.

Re: A little OT - Olympus selling camera business
Unfortunately for Olympus users it's worse than Pentax being sold to Ricoh, the JIP bought Sony's VAIO brand cheapened the manufacturing and used the Sony reputation to sell an inferior product until there was no more value to be sucked from it. They now sell two models that are just there to catch any unwary consumers who haven't been burned yet. On 6/24/2020 7:03 PM, Brian W wrote: A little like the sale of Pentax to Hoya/Ricoh.

A little like the sale of Pentax to Hoya/Ricoh. The Olympus brand may continue under the new owners. Or not. Who knows? Anyway my EM-10/E-M5ii should keep me going for the foreseeable.
