They got out of the digital camera market a few years ago - I remember back in the late '90s, Epson cameras were heralded as the best ones to own, but that lead lasted only a year or so. I just went to the Epson.com site, went into the USA section, and on the left-hand navigation where they list products, they don't have an entry for digital cameras. :roll: So is this announcement Epson trying to make a comeback, or just the dying gasp of a company that refuses to acknowledge that they lost the game long ago?
