I think John's referring to the financials, and the answer is unclear.
Ricoh has to deal with the same environment as Nikon, but Pentax users
seem to be a bit more -rabid- loyal. Additionally less is expected of
Pentax, as well.
NIkon produces exceedingly good sometimes great cameras with occasional
major flaws.
Ricoh produces a Pentax camera that has nearly as good or better
imaging, than the equivalent Nikon, and lags almost all other features
by a generation, or in the case of video evn more, but that's all fine.
We didn't expect the best AF system or fastest frame rate, or even in
the ballpark, video capability, so it's all good.
Ricoh can make money selling a Pentax that's 85-90% of an equivalent
Nikon, for 2/3rds of the price, so they'll sell enough of them to keep
going.

I would think zero and none. Pentax users haven't reported the same kind of
shutter problems that plague Nikon.

How likely is it that Nikon's troubles will adversely affect Ricoh
and/or Pentax?
