Camera Conspiracies:

I want to discuss whether or not Panasonic made a mistake by going full frame. Dividing your attention in two different directions never leads to us getting better cameras. Micro four thirds releases have been lackluster to say the least, and Panasonic with their stubborn contrast detect autofocus isn’t turning any heads in full frame when there are much better cameras available. Was it a mistake for them to try to ask for a piece of the full frame pie when there is already so much competition?

Nikkei has posted an interesting “rumor” about Panasonic plans with the Lumix camera brand.

1. Because of the difficult environment Panasonic plans to do a “structural reform” of the business.
2. Nikkei writes that this could end in a “collaboration with other companies“.

Panasonic also told at Sankeibiz that their focus is now on attracting video customers. This is a market that is growing and that’s where they will focus their product development.

What I know: I have been told that in NO WAY Panasonic plans to do what Olympus did: It means they will not sell their Imaging Business.
