Hi list members,
there were some messages concerning Olympus' success with P+S cameras, for
example the ten million sold mju cameras. This success is surely a good
thing for the company. But to be pessimistic, there is for example Canon,
which is going to take over huge parts of the APS market with its ixus
line. And the Camedia 1400 was recently topped by Canon's Powershot pro 70
(or similar). So if Olympus wants to keep the leadership in the megapixel
camera business, they have to indroduce a Camedia with higher resolution
than the new Powershot. They cannot do the same kind of sleep as with the
OM system to survive. Things can change so fast in this business, almost as
fast as with digital-electronic products.
