They might be selling well now, but they still are far behind Nikon, Canon, and even Sony

Randy, Pentax is already a shell of its former self. Although I still enjoy the "slant" of the their products, they're a far cry from the outfit that produced my MX in '78 and first LX in '80.
I believe that the K-mount system will survive and perhaps even prosper, although Pentax (at least the current Pentax) may not be the company to make that happen.
Anyway, for now, I'm just going to enjoy shooting pictures. If worst comes to worst, there are attractive alternatives from companies that aren't going away. Indeed - I'm ashamed to say - I was really impressed with my friend's 30D I played with the other day.
