Robin Wong released a video 2 weeks ago. In it, he said some things. Fast forward and view these segments:

42.24 to 43.25 { general idea of what he said } MFT has proved to be a failure so far. So do you wait another 20 years to consider other options?

57.24 to 58.14 { general idea of what he said } Olympus should have gone Full Frame in 2011/2012 if they wanted to.

What Robin said was since 2008 till now Olympus had 20 years to improve or innovate but it did not. Doing it now is too late. So it is a failure .

Robin said that if Olympus had entered the full- frame market in 2011 , they would have beaten Sony, Canon and Nikon but to do so now against the 3 big boys when they are ahead is a losing proposition.

Asides, President Trump's administration has scraped the cheap backdoor way to import into USA via what this report said. So American consumers wanting to buy cheap lenses, camera flashes and accessories can no longer do so. Basically USA wants the postal services of these countries to collect tarrifs on their behalf but their system are not equipped to do so.

The end of the “de minimis” exemption for cheap parcel shipments, nearly a century old, is prompting countries everywhere to suspend shipments to the U.S.

{ @ricohflex , Where did you dig that trash from? }

This is similar to the Kodak top management reaction - when Steve Sasson presented his invention/idea within the company in 1975.

We all know what happened to Kodak. It is true that Kodak deserved to die a corporate death.

When a company or people are unable to envision new ways of doing things and are fixated to one particular concept/idea/rechnology.
