No, I wouldn't buy one tomorrow. I may wait another year or more for
  something to meet my specs and price. Digital is not my utmost need
  in photography. I'll switch eventually due to convenience of digital
  and poor photofinishing quality on the film side.

  But note that given there's no K DSLR, hence no Pentax commitment in
  35 mm line, I simply won't buy another single Pentax lens, film
  body, flash, or the smallest accessory. I'm in photography for a
  long time, I am not a collector and I don't need to end up with a
  dead system. This hypothetical DSLR is supposed to keep Pentax alive
  by maintaining his users base, not to be a commercial hit.
