I generally do not participate in discussions on the "Future of Pentax", but I must say, that some comments on the possible "negative" outcome made me kinda sad...
Pentax established their name not by providing electronic toys, gadgets, etc, it was and is a truly great photographic equipment. I can only hope that new, innovative and very competitive products will continue to be developed!
Not long ago, I picked second hand lens from a local camera store, I did bring K10D to the store to try the lens first, and the owner's words were "Honestly, this is the first time I see/hold a Pentax
DSLR, I knew they exist, but we don't sell or carry their equipment, but it looks and feels great..." - sad? Yes, sad indeed!
