I don't have mine. Every camera gets sold once the newer one arrives. I was just going through an exercise of finding when I got each camera. I didn't remember moving on from the *istDS so quickly! I vaguely recall it had shortcomings that I was struggling with but no idea what those were now.
Dec 1986 Cosina CS-1 (12 years)
Oct 1998 Pentax MZ-50 (8 years)
Sep 2006 Pentax *istDS (1 year!)
Aug 2007 Pentax K10D (3.5 years)
Jan 2011 Pentax K5 (6.5 years)
Aug 2017 Pentax KP (3.5 years and counting)
Funny thing. While researching one of those dates, I came across an old blog post, on which was the following comment:
