Nah!
Like old Commodore 64's.
It's digital equipment and therefore obsolete when purchased!
With old film Pentaxes (or other brand), one can take as finely polished and
technically excellent photos as with modern Pentaxes. One just doesn't have
the modern conveniences such as autofocus, program, etc. Not so with digital
cameras. Their ultimate capability is defined by and limited by their array
and storage provisions. Their lenses may live and be venerated - if they are
designed with the future in mind, but the bodies - even the *ist D - will
eventually hold the same vaulted position as the Commodore 64. That would be
down in the basement, next to the 45 rpm record player, in a little noticed
corner by the large cobweb.

They'll be collectors items someday, like the 35mm Kodak Ektra.

Camera bodies are discontinued. Kodak will continue to develop CCD and
CMOS image sensors.
Here's the part that's most discouraging: Kodak will only support the
cameras through 2008. So, the cameras are what, about a year or so old,
making it that Kodak will only support what is arguably their flagshio
camera for a total of four or five years.
That's todays digital world, I guess.
