I used to shoot Pentax from 2007 to 2012.
They produced great cameras with the best ergonomics at the time (maybe even now). However, their AF was ridiculously unreliable and sluggish.
They had some gems in their lens lineup, namely their pancake designs.
This being said, I agree with the others: Pentax/Ricoh have been standing still for way too long and now it is too little too late.
It is especially true, when you compare Pentax to Fuji and how quickly the latter developed a full-fledged lens lineup of awesome glass is such a short period of time!
Pentax has really no excuse and I'm afraid their sluggishness will very likely seal their fate...
