Anyone upgraded new firmware for their K-x camera? I have seen it on Flickr pentax K-x group and wonder if its worth upgrading or not? any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks Trixie :

Interesting idea the Flickr chat forums.

Having traded my KX in May for a KR the last update I had (1.02) for the KX was for the higher capacity new SDXC cards (memory limit not speed) followed by KR and K5 updates for the new GPS gadget (1.11).

Always hidden little speed tweaks, bug fixes etc though I'm told with Pentax.

Not noticed any difference Trixie since updating to 1.02. I understand there may be a tweak with the battery meter.

Pentax often sneaks performance improvements into their firmware updates and does a terrible job of telling anyone. Why not update? It's easy.
Listen to my albums free on BandCamp. Or visit my main website for links to photography, etc.

It's probably also the last update for the Kx anyway so why not take the effort?
