More reports of Samsung shutting down its camera business

Samsung rumored to be dropping out of the camera business
This next rumor is to be taken with a chunk of salt, but it’s a huge one if true.
Samsung’s cameras haven’t exactly taken over the camera market, and it’s said that management has decided to pull the plug on its digital camera business.
The South Korean company has not issued a statement regarding the matter as of this time, but Korean journal “Newstomato” reports that a decision to stop all development was made back in July already.
Without an official response one way or another, forums are filling up with “proof” that the electronic giant will or won’t shut down its camera division.
