Pentax says it will launch ?three types? of camera next year but has so far failed to elaborate.<\/p>\n
The information was contained in financial statements released by Pentax?s parent company, Hoya, last month.<\/p>\n
A section on digital cameras states: ?Next year, we are planning to launch some three types, including minor design change versions, of single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras.?<\/p>\n
The Hoya statement adds: ?With a desire to offer cameras which will demonstrate our advantages? we will relaunch ourselves next year as a manufacturer of all-weather cameras which are strong indoors, highly water-resistant, splash-proof and dustproof, small and light, easily portable and tough (durable).<\/p>\n
A Pentax UK spokesman told us; ?At present Pentax is not in a position to expand on the statement made by Hoya.?<\/p>\n
The Hoya statement also revealed that a ?significant drop? in compact camera prices has had a ?grave impact? on sales revenue.<\/p>\n
