K100D super firmware update (is it needed???)

GerryL · 06-04-2009, 02:51 PM

When I got to the pentax imaging site it only has a firmware update for the K100D.
Would the K100D super also fall into this category?
I know that the K100D super already has SDHC support but on firmware Version 1.02 (for K100D) it says: Improved support for SDHC memory cards.
Has anybody with a K100D super upgraded to this firmware and did you notice any difference or was there a quirk on the SDHC support for the K100D super that it would warrant a firmware upgrade of version 1.02?

Would anyone be able to enlighten us with this?
I know there are new users of the K100D super here who just got their camera from the clearance sales and would benefit from the experiences of the more older and veteran users of the K100D super.

No. The K100D Super was released after the update for the K100D was released and thus has the most up-to-date firmware. The 1.02 firmware you are referencing will work only on the K100D and NOT on the K100D Super.
