Is "Olympus" a herd? I think I've seen less people with Olympus dslr's then Pentax.
Those Olympus water proof point and shoot jobs are another matter entirely...

I'm not proud either. I mean, it's something I bought, anyone with enough cash can accomplish this feat of Pentax ownership.
I went Pentax because at the time the k100d came out it had (imo) the best feature set for the money (Olympus e4/5xx close behind). I'm very happy with it, and have since picked up enough Pentax lenses and other junk that I don't see switching or adding another brand as something I'll do anytime soon. It just wouldn't make sense $$ wise to move to another brand I'd probably be just as happy with but in possibly different ways (and have different things to be annoyed with).
If money were no object I would definitely buy a honking big Canon or Nikon which can do something no Pentax can, attach to a sigma 200-500mm f/2.8, which doesn't come in a Pentax mount. This is what I feel is really holding my back in Pentax land.
