Ricoh Pentax USA is just a distributor. I can't quite understand why Ricoh Japan would have/let a distributor make an "Everything Changes" announcement for anything that would be fundamental to Pentax? Perhaps its someone in Japan who does not want to be associated with this, and it's a CYA move.
Neither Ricoh Japan nor USA is a marketing powerhouse in photography and cameras. Perhaps its a trial balloon at marketing. Who knows - certainly not me. Apparently all the seats have been reserved, so that is a good first step. Not going to loose any sleep on this. But, it will be interesting to tune in Monday and see what actually constitutes a "Everything Changes" announcement.
