[Leica] Olympus is in trouble too.

[rhaightjr at yahoo.com (Bob Haight)]

Alot has been written here and elsewhere that the
digital market has matured and is saturated.
Innovation no longer drives the market for new sales.
Additionally, cameras in cellphones may take over the
mass market resulting in dramatically reduced sales to
stand alone camera makers such as Canon or Olympus.
The pro market is just too small to support a company
today. Additionally, most digital images are never
printed, did I read just 20% are? This has devastated
the processing end of the industry. All in all things
look very bleak for any company in the imaging
industry. The Olympus report is just the begining of
bad news for companies supposedly well positioned to
do well in the digital world. > To the Lug,
