Re: BH Shipped me a K10D with Firmware Version 1.00
The 'paranoid' on DPReview have already responded. In-box configurations are very expensive to change. A firmware rev change is an in-box configuration change. All K10Ds ship with v1.0 firmware other than the special edition GP units. Improvements to manufacturing processes do not imply an in-box configuration change.

Mark, AFAIK, all K10D's and all other Pentax cameras are manufactured with their respective 1.00 firmware through their whole production and none of them has got a newer release.

They made a good choice. FTR, I gave it a yes. I, also, just had a couple accepted this past week and in a relatively brief time. One accepted a couple weeks ago must have taken three weeks.
