I appreciate such commitment to prior sales from a company.
Yeah, me too. I think he said they're targeting ongoing updates twice a year to include discontinued models.
There was a bit of discussion of the culture issues merging the two engineering groups. I didn't say it, but I note TAv on the Ricoh GR Mode dial. In response to a question about marketing to GenX, GenY and Millenials he spoke briefly about working with Eye-Fi engineers to make use of their card easier (as exists on Q10) once the links are set up. I asked about the native WiFi in the GR hoping he would volunteer something, and that went nowhere. I think he responded, "Yes. If does."
