of the two companies that Pentax seems to be closely associated in the camera industry, Casio and Nikon are the biggest. inside most Pentax digital P&S cameras are Casio components, except of course for the lens. Casio is too different from Pentax otherwise to be a serious contender, i think. Nikon may have more market share than Pentax, but it is losing it. Pentax at least looks like it will be able to hold its position.
