Olympus joins the buggy whip manufacturers

The Online Photographer: Olympus Declares 12 Megapixels is Enough
I love it when amateur futurologists spout nonsense.

Especially executive-level amateur futurologists.

The Online Photographer
reports that Olympus's Akira Watanabe has announced that "12 megapixels is enough".

A silly statement.

But after all, it is only Olympus.

See how the mighty have fallen. The last thing that Olympus produced produced that I rated highly was the Trip.

  4. "no computer network will change the way government works."
  5. "I don't like explosions. I don't mind progress. But digital photography has made every man, woman, child and chimpanzee a photographer of sorts and consequently has numbed down the general quality of photographs..."
  6. "The only legitimate use of a computer is to play games"
  7. "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons"
