Interview with Nikon @ PMA 2010 – the interview is very long, nothing really interesting in terms of future products except this quote from David Lee (President of Nikon Inc.) when they talked about cameras size:
“…unless you put a pancake lens on it, and then all of a sudden you’re back to… a digital rangefinder, if you will. So I think it’s something that’s very interesting, and I think if there’s some technical leaps going forward, there’s a possibility that that could be another category, but at this point in time we’re listening to what the consumers are saying right now…”
Just two more related quotes from previous interviews with Nikon executives:
“We plan to surprise the market” – from an interview with Hiroshi Takashima (General Manger of Imaging Division at Nikon)
On Micro 4/3 & Nikon: “If we follow this type of equipment, we change our frame (mount). The new frame will provide new opportunities or provide access to new technologies and to use targets smaller and lighter” – from an interview with Tetsuro Goto (Director of Laboratory Research and Development at Nikon).
