What about reading skills
In your opinion, there is no skill required, but I still maintain that camera dealers should offer to upgrade firmware as a customer service, at a nominal charge if necessary. As an alterative, Pentax or which ever camera manufacturer, should make available upgrades ready loaded onto a SD cards, together with plain English instructions, again at a nominal charge. I would be more that happy to pay, even more happy if a dealer would carry out the operation for me.What about reading skills
You carry out this upgrade yourself and contaminate the camera operating system, the camera is then a bin job.
Question, if you download the firmware yourself onto a SD card, how do you know that the firmware has not been corrupted when downloading. That is assuming that you know how to download it onto a card in the first place.
Yes I do have reading skills.
I have no idea what firmware is on my recently purchased K5, other than the assurance from “SRS”, when I purchased the K5, that the latest firmware is loaded.
Take care.

Well...after much thought and consideration I've taken the plunge and purchased a K5 with the 18-55 kit lens - battery is charging now!
I bought it from Jessops Birmingham who despite the prices in their store were happy to match their Internet price. A free tripod was on offer but I already have one so they gave me Sandisk Extreme 16GB card for the price of an 8GB card - a saving of over £40. Also 300 free prints at 6x4 or 150 at 7x5 - ideal as I now have a 4 month old granddaughter and loads of photos of her.
To top it all I only paid a £200 deposit and the rest is payable over 10 months with no interest charge.
Weather permitting I'll be out with it tomorrow. Nah - whatever the weather I'll be out with it!! (I've read/glanced at the first 52 pages of the handbook - only 322 to go!)
Cheers....John

I am sure you will be very pleased, had mine for a week now, not been further than the back garden, but great results with the 100mm macro lens.
Take care.
