There's been lively discussion about it here and elsewhere. I'm pretty sure that it's a good thing.
I'm also pretty sure that one of the big assets that Ricoh is looking for in acquiring Pentax is the Pentax USA infrastructure ... Ricoh pulled their camera distribution out of the USA a decade and some ago for lack of proper infrastructure to support it, so acquiring Pentax here nets a relatively inexpensive way to get that back, now that they are intent on selling more cameras here again. I look forward to seeing how this develops.
