Not as profitable as the medical imaging division :-)
The last I looked (granted, this was a couple years ago),
the medical imaging division was generating fully half of
the profits at Olympus, on only one-third of total sales.
Profit margins on mass-market consumer technology
goods, such as P&S cameras, are notoriously thin.
