Not me, Tom … must've been someone else. Read the article, Tom - it's only a couple of months old.

You know - the last time you mentioned Samsung - IN THIS VERY THREAD - you pointed out Samsung was over and done with - and I was quick to point out the Galaxy NX series - is still very much with us. But, perhaps - because it was convenient not to acknowledge it - to advance your argument, you chose to ignore it … do yourself a favor, Tom … and Google the Samsung Galaxy NX-30 … would you, PLEASE!!!!

Don't take the bait, Chris. He's just trolling.

"Olympus is not going anywhere" can mean two very different things.
(He doesn't care which--as long as it gets a reaction.)

Asahi Pentax merged into Hoya Coporation, which then sold the Pentax
camera business to Ricoh Ltd. The name of the division has since been
changed to Ricoh Imaging Co. Ltd, a division of Ricoh Co. Ltd.

Ricoh's fiscal yera ends on March 19, so that the last annual report is a bit
dated. But as of year-end it had 97,879 employees. Pentax cameras are a
tiny bit of it's many products, which include:
* office printing products
* industrial printing products (including consumables, servies and software)
* office computer servers, network equipment, services and software
* optical equipment
* electrical units
* semiconductors
* industrial cameras
* 3D printng products
* environment and health related products

We'll know more when the 2019 Q1 and 2019 annual financial reports are released
in a few weeks, but I'd be surprised if the Imaging division numbers were broken out.

The article I read - pretty much verbatim, Tom ….

According to the latest reports, Olympus is doing badly. And it’s so bad, that the company could even leave the digital camera market. Reportedly, the company’s activist shareholders could force Olympus to exit the market and go into a different direction.
The 4/3 Addict writes that Olympus’ financial results for the Q3 of 2018 were far from promising. Consolidated revenue in the Imaging Business went down 19%. The operating loss amounted to ¥13,129 million, compared with an operating profit of ¥1,493 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. These declines are reportedly the result of several factors. These include the constraints on supplies of some of the company’s products. Also, the competition in the mirrorless camera market and the restructuring of Olympus’ manufacturing locations all led to a massive loss in revenue.
The same source explains that these losses got the shareholders upset. “Many Olympus shareholders happen to be foreigners and they are starting to make headway,” the 4/3 Addict writes. “This could eventually lead to Olympus either discounting their camera sales or going in a fundamentally new direction.” For now, none of this has been confirmed, but the fact is that Olympus is struggling.
