Hard to compete with giants; Canon in first place, then Nikon. Not only Pentax but many others like Olympus essentially could not make a move in USA market and now Olympus seems to boycott Americans by not introducing their new E-400 in North America. Won't wonder if Pentax does the same. And personally I like the Olympus better as alternative with their full frame sensor and very nice color rendering capabilities.
Yes lenses are the main hassle but many first time DSLR buyers may find one or two lens just enough if the price of package is right and significantly competitive.
