Do not worry, even if Pentax really takes off in the next few years they will still be the underdog! Until their product is stacked in piles on the floors of Costco and Sam's Club, we will be viewed as the odd brand(not a bad thing). Not that their products are bad, But you have thousands of sales to people who view it as photographer in a box! Here what I see is much research done, and then a decision is made as to which camera set to use. This is great except it doesn't generate the volume sales needed to compete for the lead!! Again not a problem in my view. So in my view our position as the little will not be harmed by improved products and sales

I actually did see a K-30 combo at Costco - DA 18-55/55-300

Doesn't matter what the other guy knows. Matters what I know. I would be satisfied to know I've known since 1977.
^^^^ This

As long as they're still there doing what they do now I'll be happy (says a brand-new Pentax-user, now a complete convert).

I don't care one way or the other. I do want to see Pentax thrive, just so I have nice cameras to mount my lenses on, but if it remains rare in the US, it isn't that big a deal.
