Among other things it's bad when Sony breaks into the DLSR market and immediately grabs over 20% market share when Pentax has been in the market for 3 years and has a much smaller share.
It means price wars are going to escalate resulting in lower profits for all, but the bottom feeders will likely have the hardest time. When there's little or no profit left, incentive to make product A will wain. When there's little or no incentive for camera maker X to compete in the market, they will stop producing those products. It doesn't say anything about Pentax directly. I actually hope Pentax does well. What is rosy? Pentax is not Olympus. Tom C.
