Why Pentax?
- Green Button
- TAv mode
- Catch in Focus, even with manual lenses
- Pancake lenses with high IQ
- good features like WR, QS (not unique, but might be more accessible than with some other brands)
- Wide K-mount compatibility, even with decades old glass
- Solid cameras (in hands, feel much better than what the competition offers for same price)
- Good price. Very little Pentax stuff is overpriced. Most of it is very fair and has a great performance to cost ratio
- Small, compact cameras, but still feature-rich
- Great ergonomics, button placement, and sensible Menu layout
We take these for granted, but many brands are weak on one or more of these.

This has been a problem for Pentax for years. Marketing, advertising, getting new people. A lot of potential photographers don't even know Pentax exists. Pentax has always relied on the products to speak for themselves, and the cameras like K-5, K-1 definitely were good ambassadors - but that is not enough in this day and age. Websites, online advertisements, print and TV media ads, this is where Pentax/Ricoh has to invest.
