i remember the prior rumor being that Sony would buy Pentax. it isn't a
merger when Sony is a lot more than 10x the size of Pentax. it does mean,
however, that there will be more price pressure sooner in the DSLR market. i
figure 1-1.5 years at most before the DSLR market saturates. if by then
Pentax isn't profitable in the digital camera business, it never will be.

Judging from what happened in the PDA market and how Sony behaved when
it went in... I am not too impressed. Though it probably means some
interesting development in the short term...
Still, I think it does not prevent Sony to merge with Pentax if so
they desire...
