Pentax digital news

[Iren & Henry Chu]

Dear all,

News from the Japan Industrial Journal Homepage on 22 November 2002:

http://www.jij.co.jp/news/car/art-20021028222428-NFNKSJDDPP.nwc

The major points are:
1. The R&D staff for digital camera of Pentax will increase 150% to about 300-450 personnel.
2. The Pentax digital camera line-up will consist of 5 items: 3 optios, 1 digibino and 1 d-slr
3. The life-cycle period for each digital cameras model will be reduced to 6 months from the current 1 year
4. The revenue ratio from digital cameras related sales will be increased from 60% to 85% of the total company revenue.

Due to my limited Japanese, I don't quite understand about the fifth paragraph related to the development of CCD and CMOS. Any body here can help?

Regards,

Henry Chu
