What do you think they might put in a firmware upgrade? The only thing I can think of is the issue where Auto-ISO only goes *down* (never up again) when you change shutter speed in Hyperprogram (P) mode. And then I guess I can dream that they might do something to clean up ISO 1600 a bit more.

But really, I'll be very impressed with Pentax if they do another firmware update at this point -- sadly, industry practice is to ignore year-old models (let alone discontinued ones).
