Is this fact or speculation? Pentax Canada experienced both their highest profits and largest volume of sales in the company's history, fueled by their profits on Optio sales. It's possible that Japan could sell to North America at a loss, but it would be a really bad idea, especially since Pentax in Canada and the USA are merely resellers and not actual arms of Pentax in Japan.
-Aaron -----Original Message----- From: "Bob Sullivan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Aaron, I'm saying that Pentax had profit problems with the P&S line after everybody got into the Optio S size cameras and decided to make a strategic withdrawal. Having good sales, but loosing a little bit on each camera is not a good idea. They turned the market over to somebody with more consumer electronics muscle. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
