image on top shows the old chinese Olympus factory

Back in May Imaging Resource had a chat with Olympus manager Masanori Sako and he once more confirmed Olympus camera division is not for sale. Well this was quite a BS :(

He also said that the “move of production from China to their factory in Vietnam is now complete; we can expect an increased pace of new-product development and announcements as a result”

I wonder what will happen to the brand new Vietnam factory from Olympus. What a mess :)

And this is Robin Wong talking about the other new upcoming lens:

Peter Forsgård:

Olympus announced that it has sold its camera business to Japan Industrial Partner. In this video, I will explain what it means to photographers who use Olympus gear.

Peter still feels positive and believes that JIP has to develop new products to make profit. JIP also had bought the Vaio laptop brand from Sony and to be fair…they still keep making them today! So let’s hope my personal pessimism is misplaced.
