Yep, that’s pretty much anything you’d make with this.
What happened with the NEX7 f/w?
How about expected A900 firmware update ?
My SAL-500F4 does not work properly on that cam 😉
Those are some relevant additions, and a real firmware upgrade!
I sure hope the focus indication makes it to the NEX-7.
A firmware that actually gives us new features? How come the Sony video section can come up with such a firmware update and the imaging section never provides anything like that?
Maybe because the Professional Video and Broadcasting Division is the favorite in Sony.
Because Sony Pro Broadcast pretty much rules the company. Sony Pro can stomp on Alpha/NEX and Handycam whenever they want. They are the ones responsible for crippling the firmware of the Sony consumer products that we love.
If they think a video feature on the new A99 is “too good” Sony Pro will force Alpha/NEX and Handycam to limit or even block the best functions before it gets on the street.
I guess they earned the right. Sony Pro is a true industry powerhouse and they are extremely powerful within Sony too.
That does not explain why firmware updates that introduce new or improve still photography features are not provided.
Sony Pro Broadcast is agressive and has a vast set of staff and resources to work with. Thats all.
Okay.But in frames 25 and 24 and has a 30 drop.
