> FWIW, analog remains a big business for Olympus: Number of Olympus Camedia

It would be interesting to see what their trends have been for the last few
years. For instance, are their sales of digitals increasing and their
sales of 35mm/APS decreasing? And, if so, are the rates roughly the same
or is Olympus gaining (or losing) in terms of total units sold? Also, I
wonder what the profit margins are on the two lines? In other words, are
"digitals" more profitable than 35mm/APS to build, market and sell?
In short, those are some interesting stats, and it'd be enlightening to get
s'more. Thanks for that info, Larry!
Just curious....

Chris
