I hate to break it to you, but in the USA, Pentax *is* a "2nd tier camera company". The company hasn't released a truly professional system camera here (or anywhere, actually) since the LX. The current high-end Pentax lens selection is miniscule compared to Canon and Nikon. Pentax does not provide the kind of professional support that Canon and Nikon do at major sporting events. Pentax products lack presence on store shelves in the USA. Etc.
