  • Replied in Don't be silly
    Don't you ever bother to read the OP. I am building on previous info with the latest news. Its been pointed out that the mirrorless gain in market share had already stalled last year. Rattymouse...
  • Mirrorless shipments to Europe and America plunge Thanks to the heads-up from 43rumors (June...
  • I'm afraid that I disagree with you on this point. “Theoretically, you could build the functionality of a D7100 into a smartphone. But, the cost would be staggering because of the diminishing...
  • Your theory sounds beautiful. But, your typewriter analogy is a mistake. The typewriter is a mechanical device, easily superseded by electronic devices. Electronics allows a user to have more...
  • Don't get excited The points you have made are only tangent to the business issues I am discussing. There's been too much hype on MILC. Just a year ago, almost everyone expected MILC to overtake...
  • I am glad that so many are actually checking the numbers. First, let me add one comment. Promoters of MILC were very keen on market share numbers when MILC was gaining. Less so when MILC loses...
  • Created discussions More on Olympus and Breakeven
    More on Olympus and Breakeven The debate on Olympus imaging's viability has become too emotional. Some love (or hate) Oly and it can do no wrong (or right). Let's go back to the numbers. Thom Hogan...
  • Created discussions Show your picture for June
    Copying an idea from other forums. Post a single photo to show the kind of photography you do. What do you see? Was there a technical challenge? Post-processing decisions? How do you feel about the...
  • Replied in HaHa
    Of course, I mean the OP. Thom has the facts and figures. So, what is your opinion of MFT now?
  • Replied in 'nicer view'?
    What kind of photography do you do?
  • ... Get your COMPLAIN button ready.
  • Replied in Slut Walk 2013
    I was at Vancouver's Slut Walk outside the Art Gallery. After the march, some of the kids decided to party.   Using the D3 (DR and resolution similar to V1), I tried some over-exposed shots....
  • Replied in Thanks (nt)
  • Replied in Not sure ...
    ... why clock is on the right edge of the frame. Leaves a lot of blank space on the left?
  • Replied in Yes ...
    ... The article is referring to Oly's M43 which is 30%  of the company's imaging sales.   Here's the scary part. According to Thom's calculations. MILC is only 20% of ILC global sales (DSLR has...
  • It's because Nikon is winning big. And, they can still make money if they have 30% of the market.   "I use the defy gravity term because Nikon has managed to somehow do a few things that no other...
  • Replied in NoMan's Land
    That describes Oly's imaging strategy   "Unlike 24/7 Wall Street, I don't think Olympus will be withdrawing their brand any time soon. But there definitely is risk there for Olympus to keep...
  • Replied in Yes you can
    Actually, we know what the actual sales/shipments are. Not good for the small players.   Plenty of room when sales are growing rapidly. Who will be the last man standing when sales...
  • ... because I carry a backpack with D800, 28mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8, V1 and three V1 lenses. Plus accessories and spare battery.   BTW, 1'm 60 years old.
