Oly and Panasonic do poorly in the North American market, which is a huge
one, because they are either stupid, incompetant, or just plain don't care,
as their attempts at marketing are too little too late. If Panasonic can get
TV's in every Best Buy in America, why not cameras? Why doesn't Oly get
cameras in camera stores?

It may be that Olympus is doing no worse than other purveyors of, shall
we say, "conventional" cameras. The real cause of lost sales to the
historical makers of cameras may be smartphones... just as tablets
appear to be chopping away at the PC market.
