I'm not sure what is meant by "labeled".
It said "Pentax" on the camera (on the brow just under the popup flash).
The price tag said it was a Pentax camera.

Subject: I actually saw ...
I saw a new Pentax camera for sale that was actually ON DISPLAY at a
store last night. Pentax X-5 at a Target store.
Tethered down by a security link of course, but you could pick it up,
turn it on & see what it was like ... to a limited extent. Looks like it
has an electronic viewfinder, but apparently defaults to Live View on
the little TV screen on the back. The viewfinder stayed dark. I didn't
try to figure out how to get into the menu to change it so I could test
out the viewfinder & I don't think there was a memory card in it, so I
didn't try to take a photo.
I might take a card with me & go back to look at it again.
But mainly it was like I walked around the corner at the electronics
counter and "DAMN! Is that really a Pentax camera?"
And it was.
