In the latest news Olympus just released 5 year growth plan to return to high profitability, Olympus will be concentrating on the mirrorless market and on High-End compact camera like XZ-1 and its Tough Series, see the details below

Olympus said on Imaging Business

In the Imaging Business, we will review our product lineup by allocating management resources with a focus on mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras and high-end compact cameras while improving profitability. In addition, we will strive to achieve profitability in fiscal year ending March 2013 and establish a revenue structure that will enable us to continue generating a steady income stream in the following years. We will do so by enhancing productivity through the restructuring of our existing manufacturing functions, selection and concentration of our advertising expense and reduction of SG&A expenses through personnel optimization.

In our non-business domains, we will reconsider the optimal measures to enhance the value of each business and subsidiary. Specifically, after evaluating their correlation with our business domains and reviewing the best way to improve their value, we will take drastic measures to sell, downscale, liquidate or withdraw from businesses whose continuous operation within the Olympus Group is judged to be difficult from the perspective of profitability and potential. In principle, we will not make new growth investments in non-business domains.
