Indeed. But:

1. Pentax hasn't been established two weeks ago.
2. Pentax has been selling in US of A for how long?
3. If you (and perhaps I) can see this, then it is very likely that bosses at Pentax can see it as well. Then it remains a matter of finding the right people for the marketing job and if need be (deep sigh here) replacing these people with some other people along the way.

Some companies just don't get advertising though.  It's something that
they simply don't grok.  Culture like that takes a long time to
change, if it ever does.

Pentax's problem is that they have a nice niche product, that they can't

they do pretty well with those limitations...


Peter, do you think marketing is actually more complex than rocket science?
It is not like Pentax has been founded two years ago and voila - K-5 takes
its rightful place up the ranks...
