Oly is not immune either. A little bit ago, John warned "C-8080 an
C-7000 Olympus digitals are sold old and discontinued. Better grab 'em
if you can find 'em."
At the time, I wondered whether Oly simply ran off one production run of
each these cameras and moved the production line on to the next thing.
The 8080 was announced 2/04 and the 7000 9/04.
With product life cycles so short, it would make sense to just guess
about how many will likely sell, make just that number and move on.
