Re: Nikon to stop selling film cameras in Japan...

[Otis Wright]

With the Kodak and now Nikon (others?) announcements, one would think 
all cos. with high volume low margin film-based products (lines) would 
be under pressure from the investment community to justify further 
expenditure (operations) in thse areas.  With this pressure and public 
disclosure guidelines most cos. now follow, I would expect to see more 
cos. explaining there position in this area over the next half year or 
so.

Minolta (are they a major manufacturer anymore?) have probably made the same

And, boy, is it happening much faster than I thought it would.
     

Me too! And, to have a major player like Nikon make this sea-change move
now is glaringly significant.
   

Marnie aka Doe  Much faster, even though I thought it might happen fast.
