Yep... Exactly... Practically any electronic purchase that is digital and
not a major appliance is essentially disposable. Had an Atari 400, then an
800, then a C64 and a C64 Portable.
Will also be able to pick up digital cameras at thrift stores and garage
sales.

Nah!
Like old Commodore 64's.
It's digital equipment and therefore obsolete when purchased!
With old film Pentaxes (or other brand), one can take as finely polished
and technically excellent photos as with modern Pentaxes. One just doesn't
have the modern conveniences such as autofocus, program, etc. Not so with
digital cameras. Their ultimate capability is defined by and limited by
their array and storage provisions. Their lenses may live and be venerated
- if they are designed with the future in mind, but the bodies - even the
*ist D - will eventually hold the same vaulted position as the Commodore
64. That would be down in the basement, next to the 45 rpm record player,
in a little noticed corner by the large cobweb.
