UPDATE: Nikon posts press release denying rumour
Press Release:
Comment about a newspaper article on our film compact camera business
in Japan
An article appeared yesterday on a Japanese daily newspaper that Nikon
would withdraw from its film-based compact camera business in Japan. However,
we affirm that we do not currently have such plan as this article reports.
Our film compact camera business still remains sizable although their
sales shows a clear contrast to our rapidly expanding digital camera business.
Our Japanese photo dealers will continue selling Nikon film compact cameras.
We apologize to our customers and photo business partners for any inconvenience
eventually caused by this article. |
