A dark day in the photography market.
- Thread starter blackmondy
- Start date
The camera market these days is more or less a triopoly between Canon, Sony and Nikon.
Back in the day there were plenty of brands: Yashica and Minolta etc.
Some of them should collaborate with smartphone manufacturers.
Leica should also find another customer as Huawei is going to be kaput.

Olympus will still be around so don't worry about it.
whoa... I like olympus.

Liking is not enough. You need to buy their products.
exactly right! looks like all of us have failed. thanks to smartphones, I've never bought a camera since. Olympus should've come out with an android phone.
I was surprised to see Alan Photo still around in Funan
Hey China Troll! How's things man? So did you know the Canadians are actually pretty nice guys so that is why we are waiting to see exactly what they did to you. Do you think its because you are Indian? Did they beat you or just make you run back to Singapore?
Alan Photo has its group of hardcore (usually ah beng) fanboys. But I expect it to be raped by the rent of the new hipster Funan mall.
I have 2 Olympus cameras and 3 lenses. I did my part. You did not.
back in the 90s I did my part. Bought the olympus mu and recommended it to so many people. I'm directly responsible for 4 sales other than myself!
but I guess it doesn't compare to your 3 bodies and 2 lense. fine. I did a small part. hokay?
Only around in the medical sector.
Olympus has the best film camera ever made with its sophisticated multi-spot metering from the 80s. Sadly it didn't get the recognition it deserves because it gave users too much control over exposure.

Must've been my fault. I switched to Nikon after many years with Olympus.
Nikon is also in dire straits. It came too late to the mirrorless party.
Hmmm, well that's too bad for them. The rapid progress in tech has really caught many unawares.
When it comes to camera sensors on phones, Sony is the king.

Up until two years ago, I was still lugging around my Nikon camera on overseas trips when everyone else were using their smartphones. I have joined the crowd, because phone cameras take pretty awesome photos too, and they are more convenient.
If I travel as a photographer I take all my gear... camera, tripod, lenses... the works.
If I travel as a tourist I use my phone.
I keep my fanciest cameras for studio work.
Nice! You're definitely a serious enthusiast. Post more of your photos when you can, everyone can appreciate well taken photos.
