Wow, this thread is still exploding. Pentax is a subsidiary of Ricoh. If they want to put "Ricoh" on a camera, big deal, they own pentax. Don't like it? Buy the camera and sand the name off. Or better yet, buy a Nikon. They make considerably better camera bodies. I know. I owned several of both. It's like a someone who won't buy "Bud Ice" beer. Bud Ice beer is not made by Budweiser. It's made by the Anheuser-Busch company. But you've been drinking it for 15+ years. This whole idea is silly. Smart consumers buy high end products based on thorough, performance based research. Not a name.

They don't turn you down for a wedding shoot because you shoot with Pentax. They turn you down because you don't shoot with Canikon. Well i've heard photography jobs request that I have a Nikon camera to get hired, so I guess that's not too hard to believe, but silly if they do. Especially for a wedding, you hire who can give you the product want.

Well i'm not aware of the full extent of the Ricoh/Pentax relationship, but they're doing it for some reason. Whether you agree with it or not is up to you, but for me, at the end of the day it's about having got those 1 or 2 particularly crucial and special shots when i'm pushing the camera. Product research & development makes this happen. If a camera can do this (without sensor spots and oil stains or course), i'm sold. Despite all the soccer moms that go out and buy a canon or nikon without any knowledge of photography, i'd say there is a legitimate reason they're so popular. Pentax has recently made some not so great decisions concerning product design and performance. And are painfully slow in making the moves they need to fullfill the needs of many of their demanding loyal customers. This is one reason companies are abandoned.
