I think not. I doubt that anyone could get away with a firmware upgrade you can do in your
home and change your model designation charging a higher price. Unless your name is Microsoft
that is, and even then you can't fool everyone.

Actually, it probably only means they are clearing out the models without the firmware factory installed upgrade. Wonder if the one with the upgrade is going to be called an *istDn (doesn't that make for unreadable alphabet soup)?

The other price drops? Well, it is a very competitive market.

Is this good news -- i.e., that the *ist D has sold well and Pentax is clearing out inventory to make way for a new, higher-spec model?
Or bad news -- that it hasn't sold well enough, in part because it hasn't been priced competitively?
Simultaneous price drops on other gear make one wonder.
