From what I hear (and this is very rumourish) Olympus e-m5 and lenses are doing well with regards to margins but the older ep line was over produced and is now being dumped and the compact aspect of the division is mostly loss (no clue if the x1/x2 did ok). So the camera divison as a whole is not doing that great but individual aspects are doing well. For FUJI it is a new line and so they need to make up R&D cost. No clue how sony cameras are donig but sony as a whole is showing stress; in fact (and this took me by surprise) pretty much only toshiba did well with regads to japan camera/electronic companies (nikon and canon also did well though profits were downward slope from previous year but they were in the black).
