Indeed they are, Igor. Pentax is still a niche brand. It only remains to
be seen if Pentax succeeds making its niche gradually bigger so that
eventually everyone else will be a niche brand and Pentax will be not.
You should notice certain resemblance between the above statement and
one of the well known solutions of "catch a lion in the desert" problem...

Boris,
During my recent short conference trip to Russia, many people
(mostly scientists with a variation of photo-experience from none to
having some camera, including some C/N DSLR) asked me about the strange
brand of my camera (and they were not referring to Ricoh-Pentax
conundrum). Many people have not heard about "Pentax".
From that, I would say that people you are talking about are only
from a very thin "interlayer" ("limited people from limited circles").
;-)
Cheers,
Igor

Attila, IMO, the agiotage around K-3 is rather high, especially so in
Russian forums that I happen to visit. So much so that I'm starting to
think that indeed the number of die hard fanatics is higher than
average over there.

If I may chime in Boris, your comment seems to be out of context and I
don't understand what do you mean. Are the Russians die hard Pentax
fans? Would mean a rather big market.
The K-3 is very tempting and I'm thinking about an upgrade.

thus you don't frequent Russian speaking forums...
