They have a pretty decent lens lineup so abandoning the crop would be monumentally stupid. In some form or another there will be a crop circle somewhere coming from Pentax.

Not to mention when Pentax starts slowly over time stealing market share from the Canikon crowd. Over time, you mark my words, these two rabid group of sometimes arrogant gear punks will be forced to reckon with Pentax.
With the trifecta.... crop, FF, and medium format under their belt I see Ricoh taking share away from Canikon. It won't happen over night but over the next 5 to 10 years we will look back and go 'geez they just came in and took huge chunk of sales from those other guys'.
