And yet they are still nowhere near turning a profit with their Imaging Solutions division. Amazing.
Lots of R&D cost for all the various models they keep rolling out at a crazy pace, I mean XPro, XE-1, XM-1, now another even smaller XM-1 lite or something, and with a lot of glass, some of it even a little redundant like a 18-55 and then a 16-50 for example.
That has to equate to a lot of expense and realistically in the big picture, the sales volume is still pretty low
I mean on enthusiast web forums its a hot camera, and there are more people who want one than they can seem to get to market, but its still a bit of a niche demand market, and they really can't have too big of markup as they seem to want to compete on price as well as features.
