They feel that it would cheapen the brand name.
Unfortunately, I don't think Pentax suffers from that problem in the eyes
of Joe Public.
But perhaps in their own eyes they do.
And you could probably say the same thing about Apple five or six years ago
as well.

I said it maybe a little too obtusely... I was making the point that Pentax
shouldn't be worried about cheapening the brand name by not selling it to
the big mass market retailers as it already is not the choice of 90% or more
of the DLSR-buying public. :-)
In fact I think NOT competing in the same marketplace is what cheapens the
brand.
I agree with you about Apple, but I still wouldn't buy one. Not because I
believe they are inherently evil, just because I have no desire to change.
