I DO use a Canon digital P&S that is almost three years old now, and mainly because Pentax did not have a decent one then ... However, I DO use an Epson printer, since they are among the best, and Pentax does not make any printer at all. I also use a Nikon film-scanner, a coolscan III for 35mm, now replaced by an 8000 ED to be able to scan my 67 negatives as well. Again, Pentax has NO scanner at all ... All my film camera's (6 of them) are Pentax ... 95 percent of my lenses (about 30) are Pentax, a few are Sigma. I use Pentax cameras mainly because that is what I happen to start with in 1977, and because the lenses turn out to be among the best. For other equipment I prefer Pentax, but only if comparable in quality and features. I don't mind using other brands where they are unique, or better. So I don't think the that "those that speak about Epson and Nikon and Canon" are not using Pentax!
