dmanthree Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 From an article on Nikkei: "Three other businesses units -- digital cameras, private branch exchange telephone systems and optical disk drives -- will be dismantled. Each will be scaled back and placed under the umbrella of other operations, with headcount to be reduced."

donbright Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Seems like our enthusiasm for our, either hobby or profession, is a mismatch for the realities of camera producing companies. From time to time I hear of the struggle throughout other firms like Nikon and Canon. Yet there are so many issues surrounding these difficulties that are misunderstood. I know I'm confused!

dmanthree Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 I think Panasonic needs to clarify this, and quickly. I doubt they'll abandon their camera business since they've just introduced a new flagship camera which has been very well received. And they're introducing a new trio of Pana-Leica zooms that also look very nice. But to say they're "dismantling" their camera business sends a message that will likely put off prospective buyers, which is *exactly* what they don't need or want! We've known for a while that their marketing is dysfunctional, but now it appears that their corporate communications is, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
