David,
I sincerely hope you will collect a collector's premium when you decide to
sell, however, I think you may discover that owning an obsolete (at the time
you will be selling it) piece of digital equipment is not the same as owning a
mechanical masterpiece such as a M3:(

Best guess for the R10 is an introduction at the 2008
Photokina. That's still 20 months away.
I would have expected them to continue with the DMR until, perhaps 6
months before. My guess the breakdown of their relationship with
Imacon (now that Hasselblad own them) is the reason.
I think it certainly does Kibosh v1.3 of the DMR's firmware. That's
unfortunate, but will not keep my from using/enjoying my DMR.
As an aside... it will likely mean that when it comes time for us to
sell our DMRs, any buy R10s, they will likely fetch more money, as
they will now be "collectible"!
Cheers!
