I remember playing with a pre-production model a couple of years ago at
GFM before the camera hit the market. Everything worked fine on it...
except the battery indicator would flip out more often than not. It would
show depletion... but then if you turned the camera off and on, or better
yet just let it sit for a while, and it would be totally full again. The
joke was that the camera was self-charging. But in all seriousness, we
were told that this was the last kink in the system that Pentax had to
work out... but perhaps they didn't quite get it right until a few
production lines rolled.

As for the ISO 1600 problem, I haven't noticed it, but then I pretty much
stay around 200 or 400. And I can't even give it a shot since my camera
finds itself (yet again!) in Colorado being repaired. Has the be the 3rd
or 4th time by now. What a drag.
