Quote:If so why have Olympus & Panasonic posted multi-billion losses.Please show us that Oly and Pana losses are due to their camera divisions to validate your point.
The whole imaging business is stagnating at the moment.
There is simply an oversupply of cameras.
I just got a Panasonic GX-1 - it cost me 310AUD or 260EUR. How much money is in there for Panasonic ?
Anyhow nice bargain! The GX1 was initially above 600 Euros... Pana suffers from a weird model policy and from the sluggish introduction of the m43 Sony sensor. A G3 costs 300 Euro these days, the GF3 is on offer at 200 Euro. On the other hand, Olympus wants 700 Euro for the E-PL5 (with kit lens) and 900 Euros for an E-M5 (body only).
