Originally posted by RonHendriks1966 On february 7th Ricoh will publish their new quarter financial report. Maybe something is in there to read. You never know. At this sales rate not much new is coming to market, since there are not enough customers waiting.
It'll be an interesting read, although without the essential context to help us understand (rather than speculate as to) root cause.
I could be wrong, but I actually think there's a good number of customers waiting... especially for the K-3II replacement, perhaps a 645Z replacement, and to a lesser but still significant extent, a K-1 / K-1II replacement (though I think that might take a while longer, as there's life in the K-1II yet). These are all systems into which folks have invested a
lot of money on glass, and many have posted wondering when the latest bodies are due.
So, I'll reserve judgement for now. I'll be waiting to see what products are announced for delivery this year and next, and to see the reactions from the market...
