So what's new, the same old doom and gloom predictions by the agent provocateur types lurking here designed to incite fear and anxiety against the backdrop of actual news.
I'm surprised the mods haven't locked up this thread as the intent is clearly to deliberately provoke by creating disdain over the future of Pentax.
I actually applaud the forums mods. I find them to be level-headed people. Sure, this may be a negative thread, but it certainly is still related to Pentax.
As with any brand, there will always be naysayers.

Not only would it be of inferior quality, it'll cost more too, since the Filipino government will squeeze the multinationals for ginormous taxes! You know, the president needs to take her family abroad every so often...
Sorry, can't resist taking a potshot at my own government.
On a more serious note, I only wish our local distributors would relent and price Pentax products much nearer to American prices. Once they do, I'm sure there would be a spike in local Pentax sales here. We might be able to cover the 300 or so K20Ds worth of losses.
