I thought this might interest my fellow Olympus owners.
I've not posted it as a topic on the main forum as I do not wish to further the recent rumours about the possible demise of Olympus.
It's obviously time for us to scrap our gear and buy smartphones instead. Our cameras do not autofocus, our lenses are too slow etc. etc..
They start talking Olympus at 10 mins 35 secs.
Enjoy!!
.... Of all people you would have thought that Tony Northrup knew that no smartphone was capable of shooting so much of what dedicated cameras with specific lenses are capable of shooting. When I go to Finland again next year to photograph wild Bears I think I'll just take my iPhone.
It takes much more than just a downturn in financial profits/losses for a company to decide to close a division, especially when it is a large organisation like Olympus. Besides which the losses in the last period are substantially less than in the previous period and therefore the trend is upwards not continuing downwards. Okay, we don't know for certain but my gut feeling is that this reported demise is false news and isn't going to happen.
Tony Northingy is talking through his backside when he says Olympus aren't keeping up with their competitors.
