Will a firmware upgrade allow me to use a 16gb sdhc uhs-1 card in my Pentax 6.1 ist ds camera

Changes to V2.02 Addition of compatible SDHC Memory card

SDHC will mean that cards up to 32 GB are supported.
UHS-I will probably be supported, but for early Pentax cameras (at least up to the K-5) you won't notice much difference in speed, due to hw limitations.

Yes, but the card will run at standard speeds. It won't really matter, though, since the DS's files are tiny.

We are way behind on posts so even the old ist can do its share.
