Quote: I have the perception that Pentax is the 'value for money' or 'poor student's brand' to both its credit and demise.
See it often enough on the local forum.

But there is a difference between a poor student's camera and value for money.
value for money is a decision by an informed consumer and that is where pentax sits. people that research the product know they are getting a good deal, people that don't know anything will only buy one of the top 2 brands, regardless of function, and just expect it will do it all for them
