Do these have electronic DOF preview? Do they have a way to upgrade the firmware? I was talking to a friend about the chances of the baby-D having the same functionality. Being paranoid (and excluding the possibility that people could perhaps patch the firmware themselves based on the *ist-D fix), I thought that they will be selling the cheap DSLRs at or near a loss, hoping to make money from accessories, and what better than lenses. Same would be true for the cripple-mounts (anybody still thinks that there was an unsurpassable technical problem to K/M compatibility and thus there is a need to rename this mount? :-) Kostas p.s.: I admire Pentax's customer application. To put out the fix before milking the cows with the forthcoming DA16-45 is commendable (if not commercially wrong).
