i don't know how they will differentiate. maybe Samsung will agree to use
different colors of plastic than Pentax? Pentax needs cheaper, but mostly
faster access to sensors and support hardware than they have been getting
from Sony. Pentax doesn't buy enough and doesn't have much leverage with
Sony. Samsung would be paying them a lot more attention. Pentax gets a lot
from this in the short and medium term. the risk is that Samsung gets design
expertise and optics and, in 2 or 3 years, if Samsung learns enough to go it
alone, they could dump Pentax, assuming that both are still viable camera
companies.

So how will Samsung differentiate itself in this market? With Pentax
lenses? What would be the point of buying the Samsung DSLR, unless it is
much less expensive? And why would Pentax participate if that will be the
outcome?
