A problem that does not occur is one you don't have to worry about. Take
two pictures and call me in the morning.

Hi!
Pentax has proved by giving an example that a camera with crippled
mount is not really so crippled. I wonder, whether they can produce an
firmware upgrade for *ist, MZ-30 and similar cameras...
Especially, with compatibility with M and K lenses, *ist may become
quite attractive camera,

I say that since the *ist is not a digital camera per se, there would be
no way to upgrade the firmware, without sending it back to Pentax to
have whatever ROM chip that holds the operating information, upgraded or
replaced.

Thanks to anyone who answered.

Do these have electronic DOF preview? Do they have a way to upgrade
the firmware?
