Trevor,
The majority of people on this list would now appear to be shooting
digital, so most reports of camera malfunctions will concern digitals.
Furthermore, digital malfunctions are newsworthy, whilst film camera
malfunctions are not. I bet we've heard from every DSLR-owner whose
camera has malfunctioned, whilst film camera malfunctions go unmentioned.
Furthermore, at least some of the reports about DSLR problems can be
traced to misunderstandings about how the things work, or bad batteries.
I think you'll find that the great majority of owners have had no problems.

G'day All.
I have stayed with film for the time being.
The PZ-1p is super reliable even if it's hard on batteries.
From the traffic on this forum about *ist D body malfunctions, I am
holding off of investing in Pentax Digital SLR.
I don't have the Dollars to throw at a Digital or the patience for the
pissing around of warranty claims, waiting around and freight costs.
If the reliability improves, Who knows.
I wonder if Pentax will release a grip and strap for the *ist Ds2
similar to the one for the PZ-1p if they don't do a battery grip?
Hooroo.
