How many frames have you shot with the K10? It probably won't expire before 100,000. And you can already buy something better. It's called the K20D. Now, if you want a serious $5000 pro camera, you have to change brands. But unless you're going full commercial, that would be the photographic equivalent of buying a pinky ring.
