Well, I suppose that Pentax is selling to customers who are a little more conservative and who want to be a bit different.
Honestly, whether I buy a Canon EOS 80D, Nikon D7500 or a Pentax KP doesn't make a difference in the real world (certainly not in shops when selling the things).
It seems as if Pentax is fine with having a 5% market-share in DSLRs and with CaNikon losing interest in DSLRs (Sony departed already) it may be their long term niche for traditional users - a bit like the Leica M for DSLRs maybe.
Well, maybe I will take that Pentax S1 on my next vacation - haven't used it really since I purchased it years ago ;-)
