I just got back from a 2 week, 10th anniversary trip to Italy, which included annoyingly pointing out the other pentax users to my wife! I was surprised how many pentax cameras I saw, perhaps a half dozen or so ( wasn't looking too hard!). We were mostly in the tourist spots, I would definitely say Nikon was the winner, I would guess just about every other dslr I saw was a Nikon. Probably about 30% canon, followed by pentax, sony then Olympus. I saw an older woman with a panasonic L1 and wanted to stop her just to say what a great aesthetic it had, though that might be weird though!
I nOticed one gf1 and one Sony nex, and was honestly surprised there weren't more mirrorless cameras. I took a few primes on the trip and the 18-55 wr (which came in handy in rainy Venice). The only other prime user I bumped into and talker to (we were on a day tour) was a canon guy with a sigma 30mm f1.4, which he said was the only lens he brought...braver than I could manage on a trip of a lifetime! In retrospect I could have survived with the 15mm, which probably accounted for 80% of my photos.
I was happy to see a fair share of pentax users on the trip!
