Thanks for the advice Keith, it seems to be a good idea to use an AC-adapter then, and not just a sales argument from Pentax. Peter
No, no! I'd consider an AC adapter an essential part of any battery-using camera kit!
Batteries are relatively expensive, and some of them quite costly!
AC essentially costs you nothing.
If you ever need to do any fussing around between camera and computer, some of which takes a lot of time, why waste batteries which you DO need for portable use?

Pentax recommends to use the AC adapter K-AC10 when updating Firmware to the *istD. Is that really necessary? Would new CR-V3 lithium batteries be enough? Any other advice what to think about when updating is welcome Peter
Hi Peter! Let me step in where I don't necessarily belong... I don't own a *istD, but I am familiar with the use of AC adapters to save battery life.
