The PlayMemories has been replaces bt the new Imaging Edge software. If you use the “old” application you can find an interesting note added on January 14. Sony officially asks you to fill up the questionnaire “in order to develop our future products

Strange enough they don’t added the survey on Imaging Edge too. Still, go ahead folks and answer their question if you can!

For example tell them that:

  • we need a simpler UI
  • Fully articulating screen with higher resolution
  • real FULL touchscreen functions
  • In camera APP support
  • And of course A7sIII, A7IV, A7000, A9r and so forth :)
