The major points are:
1. The R&D staff for digital camera of Pentax will increase 150% to about 300-450 personnel.
2. The Pentax digital camera line-up will consist of 5 items: 3 optios, 1 digibino and 1 d-slr
3. The life-cycle period for each digital cameras model will be reduced to 6 months from the current 1 year
4. The revenue ratio from digital cameras related sales will be increased from 60% to 85% of the total company revenue.
