Makes sense: Olympus quits low end compact camera business. Focus on mirrorless and high end compact. | 43 Rumors.

Many of the camera makers have what seems like dozens of similar low end cameras up through super zooms. I have never understood why they felt they needed to subdivide the market into so many tiny niches. Seemed better to concentrate on a few products and make them great. Perhaps this is a first step in that direction and Olympus will now focus on mirrorless and high end cameras.
