The above is doubtful. Minolta is indeed in deep shit. Pentax is not in such a bad position. Possible the best after Canon although they are in red. Olympus is a market leader in digital and Pentax is having great success with the Optio range; they are no. 1 in Sweden and No. 2 in Germany. It is true though that nobody is making money in digital, therefore there has been industry speculations that Nikon and Pentax will put more money into 35mm development. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
