It's a shame that Pentax do not publish a changes history (AFAIK).

The K200D can now use the Transcend 8GB Class 10 card without problem. There are no changes to menus that I can see.

I don't know about SDHC card updates, but he 1.01 firmware does contain a new lens database

Are you on the original firmware that came with the camera and is this the first firmware update for this camera or have there been a few before?
When the new firmware was launched, I initially decided not to install it on the basis that there is no point in fixing the K200D if it isn't broken - especially if there is a (small) possibility that the update process itself might break it. Now, I'm considering whether to install it anyway, because I bought a cheapie 8GB Class 10 card that is behaving strangely in the camera (though it works perfectly in a PC).
I was hoping that some members might have experience of installing the update and of the effect it had on the K200D's ability to use Class 10 SDHC cards.

Has anyone installed this update on their K200D? Did the install process go OK? Has there been any noticeable change to the K200D following installation and if so, what is it?

A search of the Pentax UK website for the 1.01 upgrade gets a "Nothing found" response.

I used to have a gray card which cost me much more than the supposed price point in about 1984 or thereabouts. I haven't seen it since about 1987 which is a shame as it was very useful.
When I got it home, I scanned it into Photoshop 7 and lo, the RGB values were 128,128,128. Near enough ...
