This keeps coming up from time to time. I'm not sure I believe it. A few years back someone posted the numbers from the japanese photo industry. In turnaround Pentax was number two second only to Canon. While it's true that Canon or Minolta are larger companies overall, they still have to make money from their investments and doubt Pentax have more limited funds that Minolta or Nikon. >With this in memory, I feel that Pentax has showed and released an >impressively >amount of new >products the last 12 months.
