I think there was one to allow use of e-series P2 cards. I never did it since I use the older r-series cards.

According to ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasonic/Drivers/PBTS/papers/FAQ_P2HD.pdf
Can a P2 card be used in all P2 HD and P2 camcorders, recorders and drives?
Yes, the P2 Card is interchangeable across the entire P2 HD/P2 lineup of products. Any P2 Card can be used in any P2-compatible device*.
* with the exception that the very smallest 2GB P2 Cards doesn’t support high-definition recording.
Here is the current firmware link http://eww.pass.panasonic.co.jp/p2ui/guest/ShowWebContents.do?key=U032

I was curious to the same thing.....I have an HPX170p and I notice the HPX170pj allows full 1080p vs 1080i. I was wondering if there was a firmware update to allow this as well or would you need to get a whole new camera?
Thank you.

All HPX170s have the same 1080p and 1080i modes. There is no difference. The HPX170p and pj are the identical same camera, the NTSC HPX170.
