Ricoh is a huge company. Pentax is a tiny, tiny part of it and sits in the division known as "Other".
Ricoh may have its problems but is profitable. Indeed producing the same gross profit as Nikon in the last quarter, albeit on a much higher turnover which is not a good sign. These figures are for the company as a whole, not the camera segment. As long as Pentax remains profitable , which it was in the latest quarter Ricoh will let it do it's own thing. Risk is small, capital employed is small, and yes profit is small. It will get hardly a mention at the board meeting. I think in the current state of the camera industry that is not a bad place to be.

I think that is a rubbish preview from TN.
Have I watched it ? No, but then neither has TN seen a copy of the Camera. :)
