Imaging Resource Olympus Shigemi Sugimoto Interview

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 2, 2018


Imaging-resource interviewed Shigemi Sugimoto, Head of Imaging Business Unit, Olympus Corp. below you can find excerpts from the lengthy interview.

  • Olympus’ top business area is medical, but their imaging technology is used in that division as well.
  • Operating income improved 77%
  • Mirrorless is growing because as the market declines mirrorless is remaining the same size.
  • Camera shipments are going up so things might be stabilizing
  • The camera market has become more like the film days when your camera will last you 4-5 years without becoming outdated.
  • Firmware updates have helped to keep cameras useful longer.
  • In Japan, users are switching to the E-M1 Mark2 from other brands now.
  • Mirrorless Full Frame can’t compete with m43 because they require large lenses.
  • Olympus doesn’t make cheap cameras they only make higher value-added cameras.
  • They do not have a price-driven strategy.
  • PEN-F did pretty well and almost met expectations so it will continue on.
  • Olympus sees value in having multiple form factors.
  • Olympus Pro Advantage and Pro Service are meeting expectations.
  • Size is a big selling point because you don’t have to carry 20lbs of gear.
  • Also, the ruggedness is a big selling point.
  • People that value mobility value ruggedness.
  • Investments in imaging help the whole business.
  • The imaging division directly helps the medical, which is Olympus’ main source of revenue.
  • Olympus would rather spend money on R&D than marketing

Richard Wong Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 30, 2018

The Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm is an impressive value and Richard Wong finds almost nothing to fault with the lens. It even works well with the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters.

TCSTV: Panasonic GX9 Hands-On

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 28, 2018

The Panasonic GX9 is a great value with a nice small form factor that might be a bit too small for some. It would be great if it had weather sealing and a tilty flippy screen, but those features were held back for the higher end models. It’s not really meant for vlogging, but its a great pick up and go camera for photographers.
