[Leica] Konica Minolta to quit photo market

[don.dory at gmail.com (Don Dory)]

Well boys and girls, let me make another prediction, Pentax will be out in
two years, Olympus in three, and I don't give Kodak five years in the camera
business.  All their sales numbers are not so good and it really s***ks to
be number five, six, and seven in a very competitive world market.

Companies that will be standing include Canon, Sony, Panasonic, and
NIkon(maybe).  There will be a huge confluence of photography with phones
and MP3 players for the masses.  If you can't be in those markets then you
will be out.
