I think it should be all billion, not trillion, as is shown in page A1. At least, domestic sales are 7 times more than overseas. But I'm not sure how much digital cameras account for in that "Other" segment.
Those numbers are fine, yet small.
They do earn money from camera sales, which is nice. In Ricoh's terms, that what Imaging part of the company does is a hobby. And it will stay within those borders of a safe backyard garage business.
About the CP+, many around here have big expectations. But never bet on either Pentax or Ricoh to excite you: nothing earthshaking or loud will be announced. Just a continuation of already established, with a low profile announcement.
They will bring us walls covered in colourful Q7, and absolutely not that thing many are expecting patiently for years.
Think safe, think conservative, and you got it right. Which isn't so bad at all.
