Olympus interview at Explora: “Again, Olympus views this transfer as an opportunity to enable its Imaging Division to continue providing value to both new and experienced photographers”

There is a new Q&A with Mr. Aki Murata posted on Explora:

With the support of JIP, we believe the consumer Imaging business will have the ability to build a foundation for improving profit structure and managing the business over the medium to long term as a new company, while accumulating innovative technologies and developing a solid brand position in the market.

Don’t know if those statements are just “damage control” or if they are seriously thinking to somehow continue to work on cameras in partnership with JIP.
