Quite interesting. Hopefully Pentax will be able to recover ... otherwise they'll be dead beef I'm afraid.

On the other hand, Pentax has never actually been much bigger. And yet it was viable for them to survive. But they do need some better products (like the K5), they need to stop making cameras that only compete with cameras in their own range (to me the K-m, K-x and K-r do not make sense, there should only be one in that segment). What Pentax really could use is a full frame DSLR with K5 characteristics. And then some new primes that do not just focus on compactness, but also in versatility (see Canon's f1.2-1.4-2 range) to cater for a more diverse client circle.
