Olympus Optical brands keep this day in decades, was photographed players support can consume all of the company, from the end of a moment had already become a classic of the PEN series cameras, as well as the four-thirds system and Micro cent during digital camera system, has a certain proportion of the market. But unfortunately, I am afraid that now the company has fallen into crisis, life and death of autumn.

According to foreign country websites EOS HD report, our Olympus open press conference in Tokyo, admits that the company spent US $ 1 billion higher, to whitewash over 90 investments lost cause of financial loss. Method of using a false account of what hidden below the surface, this is the one of the biggest in 2008 will be higher than $ 670 million (two years), nominally sinks into a caring company in the Cayman Islands, while the money was immediately dissipate into thin air in two weeks. Also had a cost of 2.2 billion dollars acquisition of medical care after you configure the maker Gyrus, continuous paid huge consulting fees of $ 670 million different State, the normal consultation fee only about 1% of the total purchase amount.

Olin 70% monstrous bass stocks have fallen so far, Tokyo stock trading business and was probably taken away by post. Under Japan’s securities trading business rules, falsification of results in companies was invented will be cancelled after the listed qualifications. The old fonts size Japan optical plant was beginning to face the dark times, its camera system including e-SLR system, PEN no future growth of the reflector system also appeared uncertain.

Under observation, indeed, the change from October 1 this year Olympus bass announced by United Kingdom nationals Michael c. Woodford play CEO’s start, the history of the company’s first foreign CEO took office two weeks later, case Olympus announced dismissal, when Olin bass performance Woodford and Company Act bold courage, differences of opinion, so that he does not apply either. After a short time early Woodford named enacted prototype, his implemented long before long, nervous weakness of invention company now seems to have a financial, and practical observations and requests to the external pipe account sponsored search account, did not expect to identify unexpected prototype before they met the necessary for the people of the whole thing seriously, handled a number of suspicious trading business, Chairman of the Jcs. Then Woodford inform ins and outs of the Board, I hope you can perhaps save the company, the next day the Board of Directors announced the Woodford dismissal. (Coherent reporting of may refer to the EOS HD News) starts from then Olympus shares fell in every direction, FBI (United States Federal Bureau of observation) are involved in observation, until this day the company finally admits inaccurate financial charges were true.

If faced with closure, it seems that Olympus has probably will be selling images section, EOS HD site tracking reports that potential buyers are not yet clear. Some list, Ricoh recently bought Pentax, Panasonic already has too much repetition of skill, Nikon, Nikon has introduced 1 no reflectors-series, Canon probably are hands-on research and development is a new system. But in any case, this market is shuffling the list will probably allow the DC market brand, let us observe the next trend.
