Indeed. For me a digital body will be an additional - you know what would be cool though - if Pentax launched an APS SLR at the same time so we could all carry a cheap film body (taking APS film) with the same focal lengths as the digital... But then I'd end up spending loads of money and carrying four Pentaxes (35mm, digital P&S, digital SLR, APS), and that'd be scary.
