I'd consider buying a Pentax K-mount (as long as it takes my manual focus
lenses!) digital camera. But only as a snap-shooter. It would never
replace my LX and Velvia for nature photography.

Don't read it here - go try it yourself. Digital is as
good as 35mm film - right now - for the smaller
enlargements which are the forte of 35mm film.
Forget the technical arguments about pixel count vs
resolution vs everything else. Just take a few images
with a mid-range digital (with a good lens) and check
it out.
Several months ago, Minolta introduced a 5 megapixel
digicam with 28-200 zoom lens and hot shoe, priced at
$1500. Not a great camera, but not lacking in
resolution and image quality.
How many Pentax buyers would spend $1000 - $1500 for a
nicely featured 5 mp digital camera, in KAF mount with
no lens?
Lots, I imagine. Count me in for sure.
