It's within the documents, both referenced and quoted below. Once again: "image quality is even higher [...] due to upgraded firmware" They name *firmware*, not *hardware*. There may be other reasons why a firmware upgrade is not done for *istD. As long as someone else does not name better sources, you might even guess that a *istD upgrade is prevented in order to justify higher K10* sales. > On 6/19/06, Martin Trautmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On 2006-06-09 15:31, Simon King wrote: >> > Hi All, >> > Just in case this isn't already known by all, here's a fact sheet on SR >> > & other K10d features. >> > <http://www.pentaxslr.com/images/SHAKE_REDUCTION_FACT SHEET.pdf> >> >> What I learn from the doc: Pentax does not mind about former users, >> upgrading their firmware? >> >> So even if Pentax knew about solutions to improve picture quality, they do >> not necessarily take the effort to make upgrades? >> >> : Is the CCD identical with the one used in *ist D-series models? >> :: Yes, it is. >> : >> : Are there any improvements in image quality over *ist D-series models? >> : >> :: Yes, the K100D's image quality is even higher than that offered by the >> :: *ist D series due to upgraded firmware. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
