This will be the same editor who did a real hatchet job on Pentax last year basically saying they were finished and mirrorless products would take over the world. He is a big fan of Fuji and the magazine really pushes the brand on a regular basis.
Olympus have blamed the rise of cameraphones as a significant factor in their decision.
I have always had a soft spot for them and my first two cameras were Olympus including a rather strange one that claimed to be a panoramic one, which it wasn't!!
So much for media predictions that Pentax would be the first to fall.
I was in Venice in 2016 using the MX-1. I found that a lot of my images were nondescript and just filed them without really looking. Having seen these sets prompted me to re-visit mine and what do you know, converting to black and white has resulted in some rather good ones!!8

I used to be a regular buyer but got fed up with rehashed articles, loads of sponsored "reviews" etc.
My son showed me a recent article about Olympus by their Editor.
The article concluded with this pathetic sentence "It would be tragic if Olympus were to go the way of Pentax, a brand with a once proud heritage that now exists in name only and is more associated with spectacles than cameras."
