Lets say Pentax does kick the bucket, it wouldn't happen over night and as of right now Pentax has a very nice line up of cameras and glass. Which would hold most people over for years and years.

If Pentax isn't the right fit for you that's fine, but don't not go with them based off some faulty rumors that hold not weight.
Well, that was back in '05 or '06 that Pentax joined forces with Samsung and things have changed... I like the K200D idea of bringing mid-range quality to low end DSLRs, but I'm just not so sure of how long Pentax is gonna remain in business...

btw, speaking of Samsung, the GX-10 looks sweet.
