Yup, you're quite right. Sorry for doubting you. $300 million is a lot
of money!

I believe my post said, "US$300,000,000" which is US Dollars. But maybe
I was reading too much between the lines. You can read the article on
CNN yourself to decide.
The article is here:

Enjoy!

$300 million? In what jurisdiction? And do you mean dollars or

Nothing detailed, though.
I've always wanted a pentaprism on a mobile phone.
On a separate note, Samsung was just convicted of price fixing of
memory chips, and ordered to pay a US$300,000,000 (300 million)
fine. They're the third major memory manufacurer to either plead
guilty or be handed a conviction. Micron was also involved
apparently, but won't face charges since they've "cooperated with
authorities" (maybe they were the whistle blowers).
I remember a few years back hearing accusations by Olympus and other
"Japanese" camera manufacturers that the Korean companies like
Samsung were dumping digital cameras on the market below cost to try
to grab market share. I'm not sure how much truth there was to that
accusation, but it could be one more black mark on Samsung.
This post doesn't have any particular point other than to call out a
few interesting tidbits regarding Pentax's new partner.
