The whole brand identification issue is something of a red herring. There are many reasons that have to do with more options, choices, up to date technology and used market availability for knowlegeable ameteurs with other brands. Beyond entry level SLRs, Pentax makes niche product bodies and avoids the mainstream. Most people here already have Pentax gear, and so stay with it. It would be interesting to know how many people would stay with Pentax, and try to duplicate what they have now, if every piece of their gear disappeared and was replaced with an equivalent sum of money. This is the place that new camera buyers basically start from.
