I feel it's more facts than before: - still no win, first profit expected 2006/2007 - goal to ship 3.0 million digital cameras in 2006/07 - goal to ship 240 000 DSLRs in 2006/2007 - estimated 120 000 DSLR units in 2005/2006 (what's the number of C, N, KM, O?) - common production of bodies under discussion, while at the moment it's just development. I did not understand the expected sales numbers of $1.4 billion - I guess it's for the whole company. Otherwise each digital camera would be sold for an average of $467. On the other hand, estimating about $100/camera, digital imaging would be a quarter of the company's business? - Martin
