The article makes me think Ricoh is downsizing, but not getting out of the
camera business completely.
Which camera lines does Ricoh make the most money on? Which lines the least?

Ricoh is probably not still building K-3II cameras but they are still
officially in production. Even with Ricoh owning the Pentax name,
Pentax was and is a small player and I doubt that they can build more
than two different models at the same time. The K-1 and K-P are
currently being built. The K-3 III, or something, will be produced when
there are either enough of the previous two models built to satisfy
expected demand until their planned replacement is released of Ricoh
decides to leave the Camera business again... But we /know/ there will
be a K-3 replacement and the K-P isn't it. They promised.

Noblex (Dresden, Germany, EU) stopped their panoramic camera
production without any advance warning and without stocking a single
spare part. They wouldn't even have been able to do warranty repairs.
Maybe I could have sued them but I sold everything and came out with
no more than a black eye, financially.
Considering that I've bought a few new lenses not too long ago, my
Pentax DSLRs all developed problems after about 4 years and my K-3 is
from 2014, I'm thinking about buying another Pentax DSLR as long as
they're available and service is still assured, to be on the safe side.
Is the K-3II still in production? Or should I go for a KP?
