Has there been an "official" announcement from Pentax stating that there will be future DSLRs? Do you want a DSLR now or can you wait years? It took 3 years I believe from the "announcement" of the MZ-D to the actual shipping of the *ist-D (two very different cameras). I LIKE Pentax cameras and lenses. I didn't want to jump ship so I bought their first DSLR because I felt it would fit my needs just fine. And it has. But I am also realistic when it comes to Pentax's product development and release schedule. I can't hold my breath very long, can you?
You need to ask yourself if you want a camera now (with one major limitation) or if you can hold your breath for the next one. Who's to say the next one will be more feature-rich, more MPs or have a 24x36mm sensor? It could be a long wait for something that doesn't fit your needs or it could be a long wait that pays off in the end. Either way, I think it's going to be a long wait. Only you can decide.
