>>35793 I pretty much agree with>>35801. As long as film is produced, it's not too late to get into it. I'd also suggest getting into b&w as well, I know a few things that give you more satisfaction than this. It is a bit difficult in the beginning, but not as much as it seems to be.
As for the options you mentioned, do you have any experience with manual SLRs? If not, definitely give it a try, shoot a few rolls and see how you like it. If you do like it, or you already are familiar with SLR/manual photography concepts, you might want to get a new Pentax film body. The XV-2 (aka Cosina CS-2) only have Av (aperture priority) mode, which limits what you can do.
There are a few digital K-mount bodies, but unless you want to invest a huge amount of money in a pro dSLR which you expect to pay back for itself (i.e. work with it), it's not worth it. No "consumer level" dSLR will give you quality you'd expect, and it'll get obsoleted with a newer model in 2 years at best. Stick with the point&shot for casual stuff, and enjoy the film capabilities for photography.
