You'd be surprised at how many posts have been written (in other forums) in the last week saying "I was about to buy a K-5 and a few lenses but now I don't think I will because I don't want to end up like those Olympus shooters."
I feel like taking a bullhorn to the internet and screaming: "What part of 'Ricoh has bought Pentax for its interchangeable lens division' says 'end of line' to you?????" Like most discerning readers on this here list, I agree that this will be a good thing for Pentax, and probably even better for Ricoh.
