Pentax also has some very good compacts and I think the combination of Ricoh and Pentax could be good for Pentax. W>e shall see, but uncertainty is never good for the brand!!<img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Well, there is certainty now I think. Ricoh is serious about digicams. They didn't leave the market despite marginal revenues and marginal success. This just shows that they're serious. Certainly more so than Hoya who was always a little reluctant on what to do with all that.
The only problem is that a merger requires time and it is the question whether there's spare time just for organizational stuff.
