I'd say the vast majority of potential camera buyers are not near enough to
a trade show like this to attend, so from that standpoint this issue is a
non starter.
It's Pentax's availability at retail outlets that should be a concern for
Pentax.
Their trade show presence is a concern to the extent it's an indicator
of retail availability and to the extent it reflects poor marketing.
While the "vast majority" won't be able to attend the trade shows, a lot
of the information people get to inform their buying decisions are going
to be influenced by bloggers who did attend.
If Pentax has nothing to show, who's going to write favorable reviews?

Unfortunately not in a really good way.

Last paragraph.
I hope their lackluster performance at this trade show was just due to bad
timing because of the Ricoh acquisition.
