I got my last new one in 2002 (2001? will have to check the paperwork). I'd expect Pentax to be able to repair it for some years to come.
Shel ===== Oh, sorry. My ignorance, didn't realize it was made so recently. But, then OTOH, cameras and photography have changed so much so fast, some things from only a few years back seem like ages ago. At least that's what I think when I look at my flatbed scanner. Probably, if one takes care, a DSLR will last quite a long time. As far as pixels blowing out, no idea. I suppose someone somewhere has a web page on that, or on how to make your DSLR last. Of course, if you don't use it but once a month or something... ;-) Yeah, I worry about CF cards vs SD too. Except soooooooo many digitals that use CF have been sold, I think that format will be supported for some time. But that is probably what will disappear first, long before the cameras die. Like film is disappearing now. Marnie Shel, how long are you planning to live, anyway? Hehehehehehe.
