Nowhere near as bad as the choice of slogan "Pix Your Life".

Quest que ce?
"Firmware K-5 v1.10 pour Windows"
That's what it says on the download list from Smeggy's link to the Pentax website.
I think I will wait till it appears on the Japan or Canada websites too, in case of a malevolent French hacker!

I've read that it adds menu for the new Pentax GPS so there will also be updates coming for the 645D and the Kr.
Also the camera will refuse to install it because of that but there are ways to force it though but there is no telling what will happen...
edit:
Installed the update and indeed it adds a GPS menu.
Hopefully they also tweaked the AF a bit and the flash exposure as well...

If it's says it's for the K5 i doubt it will work on the K7, don't you think?will this work on the 7?

Pity it didn't actually add GPS edit:

As soon as the Japan site hosts it and adds some relaese information, I'll isntall it on one K05 and compare the AF with 1.03

Pretty poor release note from Pentax.
They should outline explicitly whats been included so that people aren't left wondering. If it's just the support for the O-GPS1 then so be it...say explicitly that there are no other fixes. Going from 1.03 to 1.10 could suggest a few iterations meaning various features may have been touched

Unfortunately this is their standard. Someone should really get on the ball at Hoya and realise the importance of explicit documentation and timely firmware releases. Each one is the occasion for promoting the product line, but they prefer to sneak them out the back door! Bizarre behaviour.

No it doesn't Going from 1.03 to 1.10 could suggest a few iterations
(i.e. you are not missing 1.04 to 1.09!!)
Changes in the second decimal place are typically for bug fixes.
Changes in the first decimal place are typically for minor feature additions.
Changes in the integer part denote major change.

Especially surprising as its a Japanese company where good performace seems to be a deciding factor of who gets the boot.Pretty poor release note from Pentax.

As for the update, maybe you have to buy the GPS unit to find it

Not impressed with the Pentax.co.uk site as it doesn't list the fixes
strange that the Japanese site still only lists 1.03
