Asahi man made a comment on dpreview that Pentax will not go out of business and a big surprise is expected next year for the brand’s 100th anniversary (Pentax was founded in November 1919):
It’s time to put this senseless speculation to an end… Nope, Pentax will not going out of photo business… There is a very, very internal roadmap…. Cameras and lenses… A nice fullframe line up is in sight, no sign for going out of business. Next year is the big anniversary, don’t forget this point. I know,the most forum users here, will be surprised.
It seems that most of the development is going for full frame K-mount products:
Currently nearly all the development power is going into K fullframe SLR. Body and lens development,very interesting and in 2 classes. But, SLR!! (dpreview)
