Teaming up with a renowned electronic manufacturer like South Corean SUMSUNG, who can supply them with photographic sensors and more seem to me to be the right thing to do. Pentax are certainly able to make excellent photographic equipment, but are dependant on a continuing supply of high quality sensors. Teaming up with Samsung makes it more convenient coordinating simultaneous development of new cameras and sensors. To me it's actually good news.

They have an uncanny habit of producing products as good _or better_ than the competition at lower prices. This bodes well mixing them with a company renowned for quality glass and small, reliable, feature rich SLR's, and now DSLR's. Could be a very good thing for us all.
