Re: Pentax/Ricoh camera branding
I don't know what the Ricoh brand is worth, but I think they are doing this backwards. I'd want to disestablish Ricoh and focus on Pentax where the PS Pentax digitals can borrow from the Pentax DSLR's reputation. Regards, Bob S.

Re: Pentax/Ricoh camera branding
Actually, I thought it was sensible. The Pentax PS’s never really stood out from the crowd, but the Ricohs did. The brand meant something. -T On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 9:31 AM, Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com wrote: I don't know what the Ricoh brand is worth, but I think they are doing this backwards.

Pentax/Ricoh camera branding
Photo Rumors is reporting: Noboru Akabane, President of Pentax Imaging Ricoh, announced plans to abolish future Pentax compact digital cameras and focus on DSLRs. All future compact cameras will be under the Ricoh brand while DSLR and mirrorless camera will be under the Pentax name. It is not clear what will happen with the Ricoh GXR system. http://photorumors.com/2012/07/13/pentax-ricoh-products-shuffle/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
