An interview with KM's President

[ninelives]

Main points from the interview:

1)KM will enter the DSLR (interchangable lens) market next year
(2004) and will introduce a new Digital Camera Brand (Model or
Series) to reflect the combined KM can withstand the test of the
market.

2)Integration of Konica Minotla is as planned but they still do not
see the preceived results (benefit) of the merger yet.

3)Due to the price war in digital products, all manufacturer is
suffering from lower profit, KM market share is only 5% and their
target is 15%

4)KM will introduce 3 new film based camera (SLR?) before year end
(2003?) but if the market is bad they may withdrawn from traditional
film market?
