I don't know what the international numbers are, but locally Pentax is definitely taking a bigger piece of the pie than ever before. All local camera stores are now selling the K cameras. Very few of them sold the *ist series cameras. One of the largest stores squeezed down their Nikon and Canon display area and added a Pentax area of equal size. I was in there yesterday to purchase a new printer and asked about the Petnax sales. The counterman I talked to said they were selling very well and that the Canon rep had complained about the loss of shelf space.
