Olympus’ Imaging Business is Officially Expected to Shirk
Olympus Investor Day 2018 has some bad news for Olympus camera fans. Olympus has revised their sales downwards, which is to be expected with the announcement of the L-Mount alliance. They also listed some things they hope to focus on to improve their profitability, but this won’t keep the sales from shrinking.

Mirrorless camera system that are uniquely Olympus, attaining high level of compatibility between overwhelmingly compact & lightweight and high image quality with the Micro Four Thirds Standard.
