My memories of the istD* was that for its time it was quite good but the shoot 5 raw files and wait 45 seconds to take another picture was not what I wanted, after being used to shooting film with multiple bodies. For portraits this was torture. The other thing I remember about this camera was how easy it was to unintentionally open the door where the CF card went in. If you did this the camera locked up and wouldn't shoot until you closed it. So it was an impressive first effort, but I was grateful when I got a K 10 and many of these issues were resolved by a much more functional camera.

With the popularity of zoom lenses, especially the f/2.8 lenses, I think that there would be few buyers for prime lenses in that range. Since I have shot lots of paintings and other artwork for years I own 35, 50, 70 and 100 mm macro lenses. The 70 is a Sigma; all the rest are Pentax. All of them give excellent results with consistent sharpness and very low to non-existent distortion. It is interesting to watch what happens in Photoshop Camera Raw when you apply the lens correction filter--with these lenses virtually nothing happens. With my zooms, it is very different.

I also don't care that much about video but I think the OP is right that Pentax can and should do better if Canon/Nikon can. I've been a mostly happy Pentax user for many years, with no complaints about AF speed or framing rates , but I do wish that warrantee service was faster.

Thanks for the suggestions--I just finished successfully updating my second K3. For some reason, the file was getting renamed upon being loaded onto my computer. After a bit of a search, I discovered that I had another update file with the same name in my downloads folder from last April. When I got rid of that and downloaded again, the name was correct and the installation went perfectly. Thanks again for all of the help.
