I'd like a digital K-mount camera, too, but can't any of the manufacturers find a way to make a modular, updateable, body? (Now that I think of it, there's the Mamiya 645AFd.) If the CCD could be replaced with the latest version, the camera could stay current for more than a year or two. Press professionals may not mind replacing their cameras every time a new model comes out, but I think the rest of us would like to keep ours for quite a while.
There may be technical reasons that make it difficult to replace a, say, 3-megapixel CCD with next year's 7-meg unit, but it would make DSLRs more attractive. You can take a 60-year-old film camera and use 2002 film in it, which I find pretty cool. I'd like a DSLR that won't be a doorstop in five years, or is that just being unrealistic?
