I've had pentax for 20 or so years. Prior to this, I was an Olympus man (got an OM-20 when I was 16 from my uncle, scrounged for lenses in my 20s and was quite happy with it). My second camera was an Mz-50 film slr.
When the time came to go to digital, I was all set to go Olympus (I had 5 lenses for it, from 17mm wide to 300mm (all primes) ), but they decided to not go with an OM compatible lens platform - so I took the pentax option instead, since my Mz's lenses would work fine with the ist. (I believe Olympus has since returned, but "too late, she cried ..." on that one.)
We're not as common as the canikon flock, but we're not that rare. I've seen a couple of other pentax users in my travels. More lone-wolf than one-of-the-flock. :D

I bought my *ist/DL back in 2006, when it replaced my old Mz-50, it served me well for over 10 years and Only recently became aware of the firmware update.
I copied the file onto my old 512mb card (bought when I got that camera) and it installed just fine. Camera now on 1.03 and accepting 16 and 32gb cards (with 16gb, I should get around 8-9000 shots as jpg, or a good chunk of RAW shots). Batteries will go flat long before I hit that limit.
