As has been pointed out many times, the reason the pros use Canon (and, to some extent, Nikon) is for one reason - pro support. If you can't get replacement gear at big venues, loaner gear to try out new stuff, and rental equipment for expensive occasional-use items, then the pros don't use it. Nor should they.
Pentax don't play in that marketplace. But that doesn't mean that the cameras are incapable of delivering the results.
