Originally posted by monochrome Don't forget Pentax has adopted Ricoh's Firmware update policy - regular updates to Firmware for all models that have the necessary hardware to accept the update. Support for all older models as new updates can add capability. We will see more frequent Firmware updates on many more cameras - as shown by continued support for the K-01, which I don't think Pentax would have.
Hmm, like the update of the MX-1's firmware, which never came, and the year is almost closing.
Are they abandoning that camera?
Or the K-01 firmware update, which came after many months and gave the camera a mere starting point to be a functional piece of photographic equipment, after all. Both cameras came under Ricoh.
The story of their firmware updates across cameras is a colourful one, and really has no embedded pattern of a well designed approach.
