imho, this FW update is a sign it must be selling above Sony’s expectations … and there is a path to future sales.
I agree. While not my cup of tea they must actually have some sales for Sony to commit these resources to supporting them. Or maybe they are flogging a dead horse.
if only sony would be this diligent with the rest of their imaging product. maybe more people would buy.
Unbelievable.
How about a FW update for the A7R? There are lots of things that needs to be fixed.
Come on dude it’s only been out for 5 minutes…..Jeez…
QX has been out for far longer, it MIGHT come on later on, and hopefully it will.
It takes time to develope and test the firmwares
Why? I thought we were waiting for the A9 😉
a99 update please!
A77 and A99 FW update long overdue!!!
WTF , where is the a99 FW?
This is a positive sign from sony. I am not a fan of frequent firmware updates lije Fuji. But it is always good to see companies listening to their customers and providing the necessary firmware updates and support.
if sony is willing to do this for A mount and E mount cameras, we can finally see some real competition to canikon monopoly.
Sony needs to treat their highest paying customers MUCH better. Firmware updates for cheap gadgets but not the top end SLTs? What about the VG20? Owners of that cam are rightfully livid with Sony.
Wake up Sony.
Their highest paying customers are getting very good updates…I’m talking about the F5, F55 and FS700 users 😀
Unfortunately, it is these cheaper gadgets that actually make the revenue. Even Canon probably makes more money on its powershot cameras than on on its 1d cameras. The high end stuff is there to make the brand name so they can sell the much inferior junk low-level Canon cameras sell.
_Made_ more money. P&S have no future with tiny sensors they have now. Even 1 inch is not enough.
Amit: That might be true. But I don’t think that people who buys these cheap gadgets really care about firmware updates. Most of the probably does not even know what a firmware update is. They just use their cool little gadget until they see a new one around the corner.
We who buys the more expensive cameras, DO care about firmware updates.
OMG, it’s happening!!!
lol… firmware updates for toys.
my Sony QX10 firmware is now upgraded.
here is my test in video mode :

I am disappointed by Sony to not update the firmware of my RX1, the auto-iso to 1/80 is outrageous.
Is there really an ISO setting or is it only the ISO expansion?
Tested it on my QX100. It’s a real ISO setting and not only an expansion of the ISO range as Sony previously announced.
I’m curious about sales – I’ve not seen many in the shops in the UK, but a lot seem to have been shifted as freebies…
On a post like this, it’d be nice to include the current RX100 feature list. I’ll buy a camera like this once it has enough manual controls and RAW. Aperture+exposure+ISO combined with shutter+exposure+ISO might be enough for manual controls, although I’ll miss manual. I’m not sure if it has this, since the updates always show deltas.
RAW is still missing. JPEG should go to cell, and RAW should stay on the local memory card.
Yes, raw suport would be nice. I expect it to be available in time, when raw processing on tablets (and phones) becomes more common/customary.
I don’t care about RAW on my phone. It’d be nice, but very blue sky. For now, if I could give my spouse something which would meet their needs (easy, works with cell, goes to Facebook in five minutes), but where I could later edit the few really good ones, I’d be good.
The same is true for myself too, actually. I only edit maybe 0.1% of photos I take. But it’s a really import 0.1%, since those go into calendars, photo frames, and then onto my walls.
I don’t agree. RAW and many other features important to me.
I took the photo I can not grow.
picture previewer bad . that should be a built-in photo album.
so fuck to playmemories mobile application.
I’m very sorry I’ve taken qx100 buy.
so Fuck to qx100 engineers.
I agree. RAq, JPEG and must be many other formats.(RAW,JPG,PNG,BMP)
Everything should be in DSLR cameras should be even more.
Qx100 very basic. does not deserve the money
Yep. The money is in Cell Phones. I prefer to put my money into higher end products, A77, A99. Not to mention $8500 in glass. Come on Sony. With my glass investment, I’m kind of set on you and your next great FF, Next year not 2014, Through me a bone or two in the mean time. It’s been over a year since last FW update on A77 and it has some issues you’ve probably already figured out how to improve but your saving that for your next set of products thinking I’ll buy it. Sorry, I can wait. Don’t like to and think it wrong you don’t support your existing customers a bit better.
I sounds like the QX10/100 were low budget side projects that actually came through. They have assigned more dev budget to them and this is coming through as firmware (and new accessories).
So its not that other cameras are not getting as much love, its just that the ugly duckling actually turned out well and is now getting a little bit more attention.
Yes, I still think other cameras need features that are standard elsewhere (zebra in stills and video, histogram in video, auto ISO in manual, lose weird unnecessary crops in certain modes, add clean HDMI out, etc, etc), but lets not forget that the QX10/100 were simply a repackage into another format with no money spent on firmware. They are just getting the dedicated fw budget that all other cameras get anyway.
Oh, so they do know what a firmware update is.
It has made the qx100 a little more usable that is for sure. But as I have said in previous comments wifi still sucks.
The control of the camera is a lot better
What is the probability of getting a video quality fix firmware update for my a99?
qx100 control application is very simple feature.
Galaxy S4 zoom is ver very perfect camera features and ver cheap.
Qx100 a DSLR mode lens. it is ver expensive and professional lens.
But application is wretched. playmemories mobile bad software.
only shutter. I’m gonna give that money will not feature any effect.
for example, cause the camera application in z1 qx100 not used.
background defocus,Info-eye, Timeshift, slow motion,AR effect, 4k movie record,
No image cropping, take picture RAW, png, bmp format etc.
Sony is develepment bad. Sony will not take any more.
very mony less feature.
