Sounds smart to me. Not only are you selling more than some of the competition, you do that at a higher price point. Win-win.

Olympus reported a decline in mirrorless camera sales in 3Q. For the full fiscal year, they cut the profit forecast of their Imaging division by 50%. That doesn't sound like much of a win to me.

It's not a win if you want to spin it that way. Here's the rest of the story that you failed to mention. "Sales growth of 7% for mirrorless cameras centered on OM-D series introduced in the 2H of last fiscal year contributed to overall higher revenue in the Imaging Business." https://www.43rumors.com/olympus-financial-report-shows-imaging-business-increaed-revenue-profit/

In JapanOlympus is #1 in mirrorless. https://www.mirrorlessrumors.com/bcnranking-2018-shows-olympus-lead-canon-raise/
