Dear all,
The sales figures from Jodobashi (which is one of the larger camera chain
retailer in Japan) suggest differently. Digital cameras from Pentax seldom
enter into the top 10:

There is a perception that Pentax can't design a
computer system in any of their cameras. The reality
is that, they can and they did. As for chip
fabrication, they don't have the means to do so, hence
they sometimes contract out the work to Casio or
Hitachi which happens t

Pentax is mostly behind HP digital cameras as well and God knows how much
of other manufacturers P&S.
Yes. The story of Casio and Pentax merging is just my guess only.
But nothing impossible, as who can guess be
I don't see why not, you would be using a Pentax Lens.

I can't resist playing Devil's advocate.
Where it
There's a Casio digital P&S at Wally World that has a Pentax lens on

great features. Over $400 though.
