Sony A1 “major” firmware update coming soon

I think these are needed to read this thread

To add my thoughts...

I think we will definitely see new AF modes or algorithms, though it's obviously more than capable anyway. Maybe the newer menu system, though it's risky changing it when people are used to the current one, which I think is fine anyway, and I suspect that in camera stacking is a distinct possibility. If they do add that I will seriously consider this instead of the RV.
Let's see how quickly it's released.

I must confess i like the simple approach setting 1-5 for sensitivity/speed when you start to include modes and sub menus it is all getting lost on me ,oh look there is a fly i need to set for this quick menu dive set parameters for fly in flight oh yeah that works (not) fly has done one missed opportunity , i really dislike this approach ,guess for static stuff ai will be better which it is as it helps locate shape form then eyes ,which allows for composition ,but if it does not work in tracking and you are loosing keepers or you have to keep setting parameters for subject types then it is a pitas.I will still probably get r5 as the files are so good for wildlife and not everything is needing tracking or fast paced 30fps

I agree there Paul. My only desire is for a better AF speed or one that at least stays locked on better than the RIV, though I have to say I got some nice shots this weekend.

If they add stacking to the A1 it's a no brainer

I have to say I have had a lot of cameras mostly pro models but none have been as fast at focus and none that stay locked on and tracks like the A1.
