But, this surprise announcement doesn't appear to be all doom and gloom. Your current Olympus cameras aren't suddenly going to disappear or stop working, and according to today's news release, the new company formed by Olympus' ownership transfer to JIP will, in theory at least, continue to make and develop new "Olympus" or OM-D and Zuiko camera products.
Still got my Olympus Trip.
Must get it out some time and give it a blast.
Much like the demise of Konica-Minolta this is a shame, but isn’t the news here slightly more upbeat? Olympus’s camera division has been sold to Japan Industrial Partners and it sounds like JIP will continue to make, develop and service Olympus cameras and lenses.
