Err... no. Most new buys are still DSLRs according to CIPA shipment data:
- 2018: 6,620,999 DSLRs vs 4,138,798 mirrorless cameras (1.6:1)
- 2019Q1: 972,015 DSLRs vs 754,964 mirrorless cameras (1.3:1)

Ricoh didn't say anything about the profitability of their camera business in FY2018, except that one of their three so-called FY2019 Initiatives concerning Smart Vision is 'Improve profitability of the digital camera business'.

Everybody experienced a decline in sales during the last quarter, including Ricoh Imaging if you expunge the launch of Ricoh GR III from their data. Indeed, the difference between Q4 of FY2018 sales and Q4 of FY2017 sales, ¥200m, is roughly equal to the wholesale price of 5,000 GR IIIs, yet the first batch sold to distributors during the quarter was three times bigger than that.
Less than 1.5%: ¥18.3bn in a ¥1,300bn market.
