Imaging: Operating loss due to expenses associated with transitioning manufacturing to Vietnam and intensifying competition
Consolidated revenue in the Imaging Business amounted to ¥48,679 million (down 19.3% year on year), while operating loss amounted to ¥18,268 million (compared with an operating loss of ¥1,200 million in the previous fiscal year).
The Imaging Business’s revenue declined due to the impact of intensifying competition for mirrorless cameras, in addition to constraints on supplies of certain existing products and on the number of new products in conjunction with restructuring of manufacturing locations.
As a result of a decrease in revenues and the recording of costs associated with the restructuring of manufacturing locations and impairment losses of ¥1,990 million, operating loss was recognized in the Imaging Business.

DPReview reviewed the Olympus OM-D E-M1X and gave it a silver award. You can read the full review here or you can read the pro/cons below.
Ultimately, this camera is probably too niche for most customers, aside from those already heavily invested in the Micro Four Thirds system. If you’ve got the glass, the E-M1X is the best body in the system for sports, action and wildlife photography, which is why we’ve given it a silver award. But if you don’t need twin grips, the E-M1 II should serve you just as well. And if you’re starting out fresh and looking for something to shoot fast-moving subjects, larger sensor cameras with more reliable autofocus can be had for less money.

The Panasonic S1R scored well in DXO’s testing. You can check out the full review here or read the conclusion below.
Panasonic has chosen a new high-resolution 47.3MP CMOS sensor for the Lumix DC-S1R—one that challenges the class-leading sensors in the Sony A7R III and the Nikon Z 7. Intriguingly, it combines attributes of both of its rivals (with some nuances) and achieves near-identical performance results overall.
With its combination of high pixel count, low noise, and exceptional color sensitivity, the Lumix DC-S1R is likely to appeal to the most demanding studio photographers. And when conditions require it, its excellent dynamic range means the S1R should be a viable candidate for interior, wedding, and landscape photographers. Finally, its competitive price will also strongly appeal to keen amateurs who are looking for a solid all-rounder.
