4 GB SD cards for istDS/DS2, istDL/DL2

[Shel Belinkoff]

Hi gang - today I received a note about future firmware upgrades to the
subject cameras.  For those who care, here's the correspondence.  make of
it what you will - I get a sense that there will be no further firmware
upgrades to these cameras even though that was not specifically stated.

Hi, 
We have not been informed of the release date for a potential firmware 
upgrade to our older *ist D-series of cameras to add compatibility with 
the new SDHC memory card standard. I would advise periodically 
checking the firmware update page on our Web site at www.pentax.com 
for such an update. 

Thanks,

Hi, Mark ...

Back in April you indicated that there will be a firmware upgrade to allow 
the istDS (and presumably the DS2 and DL series) cameras to use the new 4GB 
SD cards.  I noticed that the new K100D has had a firmware upgrade to allow 
it to use these new cards.  Will you be upgrading the istDS firmware to 
take advantage of these cards now that the new cameras are in the 
marketplace?  Is there any idea when such an upgrade will take place? 

Thank you,
