alright then, in a digital camera market that is supposed to grow
significantly this year, Pentax has revised downward its digital camera
sales forecasts. the difference between a financial analyst working for a
fund and a technology analyst is that billions of dollars will be moved
around based on the financial analyst's conclusions, whether it is right or
wrong. herd mentality only makes it worse. a company in Pentax's position
can't afford any doubts as to its ability to remain competitive. Canon and
Sony are both going to announce 20 new digital cameras this year. that's one
every 19 days. what's to make a Pentax stand out to someone who doesn't
already own one?
