nothing substantial other than the statement that they were co-developing
both the $700 and the $2000 DSLR and that they would be marketed separately.
this implies that they would be all but identical except for the logo. that
would mean that they would be competing head to head if they both marketed
to traditional camera places. all of this may change tomorrow, be a mistake
by the press, or anything.

Subject: Re: HOT NEWS: Pentax +Samsund DSLRs
Would the Samsung-branded DSLRs sell at a substantial discount? Or will
there be Samsung DSLRs that are designed and built by Pentax, but have
lower specs than any Pentax camera?
Is Samsung going to run a U.S. (for example) DSLR facility equivalent to
that of Pentax USA? Will they repair lenses? Or will there be a Samsung
repair facility that just happens to have the same address as Pentax USA.?
Otherwise, where is the market for a Samsung-branded Pentax? If there are
two DSLRs side-by-side on a display shelf, identical in features,
manufacturing, and price, one branded Pentax and one branded Samsung, why
would anyone buy the Samsung?
Or will Samsung use its deeper pockets to sell in outlets like WalMart?
