I'd be surprised if Casio were making the firmware. Most of Pentax's
point-n-shoots, though designed by Pentax, are built by Sanyo (as are a
many of Nikon and Canon's, BTW). I'd expect Pentax
advanced, well built and work too good to be Premier).

I don't know about Pentax, but Nikon, Canon, Contax and Minolta flash
units all come from National Panasonic, as did the best of the
Vivitar units.

I don't think it would be a significant number. If you're that much

This is most probably due to the way English words are spelled using
katakana where aperture becomes apaachia [アパーチャ]. There
are rules for this and they are not always easy to understand. A more
common example is apaato [アパート] - apartment.

Unlikely, I think. The main change we were hoping for was a usable Av
mode with K/M lenses (by keeping the exposure last measured with the

I don't know if I'd agree with that. There are a rather large
(and growing) number of geeks that have embraced open-source style things.
Given the fairly equal technical footing of all the major brands of DSLRs,
ones that have geek-appeal will likely sway a large number of them.

No I'm talking about shitty little things like losing the image count value
when your *ist D batteries die and the camera shuts down.

I see this update was made available yesterday as I was traveling
home. Looks pretty nice. I'll install it on one of my DS bodies and
then see how it works before applying it to the other.
