So this _is_ good for Pentax; they have extra money to throw into the R&D pot.
Pentax are more likely to have the funds to develop a serious DSLR to go head-to-head with the D200 & 30D (and more likely to be able to sell such a camera as an upgrade to entry-level DSLR purchasers) with the increased revenue and increased market share that the Samsung deal should bring them. ======= Good point, re making more money on rebadged. Okay. Marnie aka Doe
