Plenty of news on the facebook OMD group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.

It’s a worrisome time and camera companies are suffering a terrific decline in sales. Here is Robin Wongs opinion on this:

Covid-19 pandemic has caused most parts of the world to be under lockdown. Businesses are forced to shut down and many have predicted the coming global economic crisis. I want to discuss what happens to the photography landscape from multiple point of views – from the camera makers to professional photographers and then the overall community in general. The most alarming question I have been asked, and quite frankly I have asked myself – will the camera companies survive?
For those of you who prefer to read than watch me rant on screen, here is an accompanying blog article: https://robinwong.blogspot.com/2020/0…

Europeans save 39% on the FULL Creative Cloud plan sold by Adobe Germany, Adobe UK, Adobe France, Adobe Italy, Adobe Spain, Adobe Netherland, Adobe Belgium.

Panasonic published the full 2020 financial report. There is nearly no mention about the camera business. All they say in the “Appliances” segment is this:

Sales decreased by 6% to 2,592.6 billion yen from a year ago. Despite increased sales such as room air-conditioners in Asia and large-sized air-conditioners in Japan, overall sales decreased due mainly to sluggish sales of TVs and digital cameras in Europe. Operating profit decr eased to 55.7 billion yen from a year ago due mainly to decreasedsales and restructuring expenses.
