Same Info came from also from Pentax Germany. At that time the Pentax Browser 2.0 and Lab 2.0 will be made available for the *istD users. At that time the update for the *istD will also be avaible. I do not know if the update will make more than the compability for the *istD to the new Browser and Lab.
Go to know that there is still support for the *istD. regards Rüdiger ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam Jost" > Hi folks, > > a representative of Pentax wrote me a mail saying there will be a firmware > update for the *istD sometime at the end of january.
