It would be nice if Pentax could just keep a presence on the store
shelves. When the K10D was released the afore mentioned Ritz shop had a
prominent Pentax section where it could be easily seen, with a K100,
K110, and a space for the K10, (out of stock, perpetually). Now that
the K20 is out they don't have one in stock, (or a place to display it
or the K200D for that matter), and the discontinued Pentax gear is
hidden under the counter mats next to the cash register. Milford Camera
which used to have the K100D on display has no Pentax on display at
all. The big box stores have Canon, Olympus and sometimes Nikon and Sony...

I agree. Canon just has brand equity and store placement. They're in
the media and on the shelves. Pentax can't compete there, but Pentax
can offer very good product at a good price and take a nice piece of
the pie. You don't have to be a volume leader to be successful.

I don't think 99% of non-pro or extemely enthusiastic amateur comera
buyers have the slightest idea that there is more than one size of

I don't think that the sensor size even crosses their mind.
Just my opinion.
