Don't underestimate the power of capitalism. Pentax makes money from cameras. In the nineties, they were among the leaders in the P&S camera market. They may yet get a comeback. The day they don't make enough money, the will stop. Investments go where the profit is - like the branches of the trees reach for the sun. Weather we like it or not. It's that simple, really!

Late 90's published figures of total camera sales put Pentax only behind Canon in camera sales (a bit behind in fact) and slightly ahead of Minolta. Pål
