That kind of spin off indicates that Ricoh understood that the Ricoh group is a B2B organization not good at B2C, so they spun off this 360 degree consumer type product to let it organize for B2C and rip financial returns via holding shares of it. That's not uncommon move, I've already seen such spin-offs. What I don't like about it is Pentax and Theta are also consumer product lines. So if Ricoh spun off the 360 consumer line, what happens to GR and Pentax cameras?

I'd even open up the forum to Canon, Nikon and Sony. And gradually change the name of the forum to generic, while still keeping the same concept as it is now.
