I think Pentax may have found it's new niche, and it may not be the one we
wish it to be.
I think it's quickly becoming a forgotten brand. Sort of like the Ricoh
and Konica that preceded it.
Maybe will see a new OP camera Olympus-Pentax. :)

If Pentax want to be a niche player, great! But their niche should be
advanced amateurs such as myself who are willing to pay for a steady stream
of "professional-grade" cameras, lenses and accessories. They shouldn't
waste their time (and mine; my dissatisfaction with their product strategy
has been voiced) with entry-level cameras that - in spite of build quality,
features, size and ergonomics - cannot compete with current offerings from
other companies based on marketing and brand recognition.
