There are still plenty of folks who take photos. I do about every day. I still like to poke my head in here too, some times.
Overall, I would be surprised if last year was a terribly good year. A lot of their cameras are getting to the age that they are ready to be replaced, there was only one new lens, and their new camera, the K-1 II was more of an upgrade to an existing camera than a truly new camera. At the same time, they have already announced two "new" lenses this year and indications are that there will be at least a couple more lenses and cameras through the rest of the year. Odds are good that this will be an excellent year for Pentax, regardless of how last year was.
