And Sony _is_ having financial problems, but most of those, IMHO, come
from being greedy (Beta, Memory Stick, SACD, and ATRAC were all
unsuccessful attempts to corner the market for hardware _and_ software)
and shortsighted (Sony does not make their own LCD displays. None of
them. And they missed markets for other products while trying to set
their own standards). Adding Contax really doesn't solve any of those
problems.
--------------------------------------------
I have never, ever bought a Sony product precisely because of this
penchant to try to nab the consumer with their stupid, proprietary
standards. Our friends at Olympus are sometimes not much better with
wonder products such as XD cards.
