Samsung left the camera business with a whimper not a bang
Pontifications
- Back on December 4, 2012 I predicted that one or more of Sony, Olympus, Ricoh, Pentax, or Samsung will exit the camera business in the next ten years. I was right but forgot to blog about it until I read Kirk Tuck’s blog post about Samsung exiting the camera business.
- Sad that I was right! The NX1 was a great camera by all accounts. Who’s next? Sony? Stranger things have happened. They are riding high now but how profitable are the A77, RX100 and the RX10 really?
