They look quite well expose, maybe slightly too dark but not much.
Remember that the metering is trying to get 14% to 18% grey so this colour link

That's true. I deliberately wasn't counting trivial things like that though! I don't think they've done anything to the body at all, or at least not worth considering from a 'need to upgrade' point of view?

No, as far as I know they have increased the height of the mode dial up with one notch.
They say it's easier to turn it now with your fingers.

if that includes some enhancements to the body rather than just a new sensor.

They have also improve the body and the interface of some buttons.

I would think that will be some time. K10Ds are still going for well over £200

Mike has had a great deal for the one he bought, also in the £200 number I believe.

While the sealing might just cope with getting soaked with salt water

I think it would be alright, just be sure the clean it under the tap to get the salt off from the camera and the lens coating.

I've put the K10D with the DA*50-135 under the tap twice without any problems.
There is no water pressure so the seals would hold easily.

They should just release and SDK package so you can tweak the firmware of older models yourself.
I'm sure that some will be handy enough to transport features from one firmware to another.

Problem is this all at your own risk.

So I guess I'm also wondering if I should upgrade to the DA* 16-50mm, or if it is even much of an upgrade from the sigma EX 18-50mm. That is other than the 2mm, but the CA and distortion on the DA* at 16 is pretty bad from what I've heard.

The distortion is the same at 18mm with the sigma 18-50 as the Pentax at 16mm, and qua performance they are quite equal, only the Pentax has a bit more CA.

I am, actually, quite interested in a DA* 16-50mm now... But I've heard the quality of these lenses vary tons. Any pro tips from shoppers out there on how to get a good one?

The quality of the DA*16-50 has been improve, you don't hear of many new cases with the SDM failing and I believe they have upgraded the SDM design.

I would get the 18-55 WR (for the extra 5mm :wink but like Beginner said it's also a cheap lens and it preforms very well.
