If it's designed to allow updates it probably loads software through the same port you'd download pictures through. You would need software to to do the uploads from a computer.

We'll publish free monthly OS updates and use PDML for testing (on real units donated by Pentax of course). Then Pentax can leave the software development to us, its loyal users, and get back to what they know best - making cameras and lenses. According to our specifications of course. No FAJ please. And btw, I'll write the K/M module myself. Just let me know if you need a downloadable MTF database for those darn old lenses. ;o)

Actually, it seems to me this should be quite doable. Really. It's been done in other arenas. Like DVD players, etc. The Net has a long tradition of hacking and sharing code, too.
The only thing I can't figure out (not having seen a *istD) is how can one upload new software to it? Or any DSLR for that matter?
Someone on this list must know.
