There seem to be a lot of people here with a LOT of experience with cameras. Some of you go pretty far back and can remember the days of old.
Normally I would say this is a great thing to have. In this case I think it has created some blinders for some.
As a complete "noob" to all things DSLR I can honestly say I have seen only one Pentax commercial, Ad, or flyer, and it was linked on this forum.
When I first started looking and researching cameras it took a month before I had even heard the brand Pentax. This was while searching slickdeals for recent sales to gauge the costs to get into photography. I quickly disregarded Pentax as a no name cheap throw away brand.
With out pros using them or commercials running people simply have no idea and ignore it completely. Even before getting to the spec sheet they are lost.
I almost bought a d3300 but then spotted the white k-50. That white body was enough for me to stop and research Pentax. The deeper I got and more I learned the more I was sold.
If Pentax would just spend some money, just once, roll out commercials for a little while. It might be enough to hard wire the next generation of good old boys knowing the difference between the best choice and the common choice.
