"Around 12,000 Pentax cameras were sold, says the Pentax camera aperture problem class action lawsuit, which brought Ricoh Inc. more than $5,000,000 in sales.

Millions in profits were generated by the sale of 12,000 lower-end cameras in the U.S.?

Too funny! This suit doesn't stand a chance.

Ridiculous conclusion, based on ..... nada. *eye roll*

Millions in profits from $5 million in sales?

Sure...

Double *eye roll* to you sir!

Based the reply to me, I think it was "Ricoh made lots of profits - even if it made little from the sales of these cameras, so even if they were sold at a loss, profits elsewhere should be used to put things right here".
