Sony Alpha A7II Firmware 1.00 vs 1.10 Video Test
Still a bit strange but Sony Europe doesn’t offer the new 1.10 A7II firmware update yet. But you can still use Sony USA (Click here) to download the files. And those are two videos that show you how the stabilization system gets improved.

What Lens has been used in the second video? Is it a native lens or an adapted lens?
Why don’t you click the YT link and see the description there?
awesome! now the price will drop more?
Oh it will:
Now give us a silent shutter so we can see that Sony actually listens to their customers
Silent shutter = rolling shutter. I’d prefer an a7r without shutter shock but it doesn’t have to be completely silent
Really, these Nikon clowns are clueless. Even their “clown-in-cheif” complained that the Leica M240 too suffers from shutter-shock……..
The a7r does suffer shutter shock though
First video is just dumb, the guy should have put on the 70-200 and used that to test instead of being busy talking and showing off gear. The second video is exactly the point: taking out the micro shakes in a exact comparison, very convincing, now all ibis needs is a better camera around it 😛
Even in the thumbnail it shows 2 titan graphics card XD
Which he tests and reviews in another video.
Sad crybaby too busy crying to understand it is about the 70-200 lens, not the titans.
He tests all sorts of high tech electronic gear and regularly reports the results on his YouTube channel. So save you envy for another day Nerdo or do his job and enjoy the perks.
Oh that’s so sweet you actually think gear is something to envy. Don’t worry in a few years even you will learn that every piece of desirable gear will one day just be landfill. The video is a crap test of the stabiliser, but it is very cute to know you envy that soon to be outdated junk.
You’re a pathetic old fool.
What are you 12? hahaha Crybaby, why don’t you come back when you can actually buy the toys you want to argue over.
You do come across as jealous. I don’t know why you’d want to see a 70-200 and why that’d be a more objective test. It sounds ridiculous to me. The guy pointed out the flaw of the test and it’s better than nothing. I don’t know why you’re complaining or why you’re insulting the camera really
The sony 70-200 is on the table in front of him, instead of showing it, he should have used it. A long lens is much better at showing the micro vibrations the system is suppose to take care off. Moving the camera around at 24mm is pointless. Jealous I have the same lenses? hehehe, it’s always fun to see how much people read their own sh!+ into these comments. I have a quadro K5000 in this computer, it’s fun for a while until it becomes slow and obsolete like every other piece of computer hardware, if you read jealousy into any of my posts, you better look in the mirror.
The sony 70-200 is on the table in front of him, so instead of showing it off, he should have used that lens. A long lens is much better at showing the micro vibrations the system is suppose to take get rid off. Moving the camera around at 24mm is a pointless for a system that is suppose to reduce vibration because you can’t really do micro vibrations unless you got Parkinson’s. Why I would be jealous of a lens I own, I dunno?!?
I’ll ignore the verbal diarrhoea and to somewhat answer your question, the reader doesn’t know whether you own or do not own a lens or multiple lenses. I perceived your comment as jealous rage mostly because it’s so personal and insulting for seemingly no reason, others might as well. Perhaps if you had of said “I believe the 70-200 lens is a better lens to test camera shake, perhaps try this?” people wouldn’t perceive your comments in such a manner. Personally I’m not interested in the 70-200 and I’m glad he tested the focal length he did. The difference is very apparent
Great, you write what you like, I write what you like, problem solved. Any emotions you read into anything online are your own. “I perceived your comment as jealous rage ” uh hu, and what does that tell us about you?
Just ignore bob he is an idiot, DFTT: Don’t Feed The Troll
I think you’re bad at expressing yourself.
“what does that tell us about you?”
I interpret your statements in the same way as another person interpreted them
That is sweet bob, you keep trying, so far you are te only one who said ‘jealous rage’. Maybe you should try to bait others commenting on how stupid the test was while I go sleep. Good luck, and don’t worry, one day you will be a real boy.
“So save you envy for another day”
So envy is the same as a jealous rage according to you? I’m afraid that DOES say a lot about you.
“why you’re insulting the camera” typical 16 year old trying to sound like a grownup. The guys crap test is not better then nothing it is a waste of time.
Ad hominem
Like someone pointed out above. Two cameras mounted side-by-side and shot simultaneously is the only way to test the IBIS.
Exactly
Not necessarily… if the pivoting point is the middle and there’s rotation, one will be going up while the other is going down. The movements aren’t identical 😉
Why are you pivoting your camera, use the little virtual horizon when you test.
Involuntary shake has nothing to do with the artifical horizon lol
Imbecilic comment. (go practice your photography;)
Can’t remember what you said about art? Resorting to name calling?
Parkinsons? Now that may improve YOUR “art”………. LOL 😉
Yeah go tell that to someone who went to Parkinsons training… oh wait… people don’t. Learn something.
Is it safe to download a firmware from sony US. We in Europé have pal and 50p?
A shame A7II still doesnt show the full frame while magnifying. Guess its reserved for A9.
Because it will still be the same size as it was before magnification. The full frame is available by using the jog wheel/button so any part of the frame can be viewed at the magnified level.
Not necessarily, you could have a split screen view or the full frame with the centre slightly magnified (centre would become the focus point and not necessarily the centre of the frame.)

Yes, they have that small square to indicate where your magnification is, why not show the live view in it?
Don’t see any difference, but then it is a poor test.
the first one is useless. However, these two Titan Z are pretty damn hot! Drool…
Still not seen a good demonstration to date. You need two cameras mounted side-by-side and shot TOGETHER at the same time to demonstrate the IBIS feature. Otherwise its simple a waste of time.
life really is that simple: if you only got crap video to show, just send it to your mom
No one asked the most important question about this A7II formware 1.10 upgrade.
Will NON-Sony lenses now enjoy the 5-axis image stabilization, or they are still being stablized with 3-axis only ??
Anyone with this camera? Anyone after using it think it’s a must have over the A7?
