What I find interesting about Pentax users are that a reasonable percentage are engineers or other STEM professionals of some or other description. As a civil engineer I fit into that description. The Pentax brand, and the brand values and cameras appeal to people who like well engineered, good value, backwards compatible tools that are rugged, survivable, and generally photographers cameras.
Other people like different brand values, and this is reflected in products promoted by different sites and forums. Go them :)
Personally, I used to have HP RPN calculators like the 11C - they were very sturdy and very well engineered. I generally use Apple products now for the same reason, and I enjoy my Pentax gear again for the same sort of reasons. I still use calculator apps in RPN :).
My view is that everyone has a different decision matrix for cameras, and different sites and forums cater those differences.
For Pentax users, this Forum provides excellent articles, information, reviews and opinion. Despite what you may or may not think of offical Ricoh support, this Forum is an 'ace' or 'jewel' when it comes to Pentax information and support. That in itself speaks volumes about the value of the product and the value of the wider Pentax eco-system.
