(SR2) New firmware update in one month will replace all current Sony’s menu system?

Share

SAR reader Abigail sent me this:

I spoke with a Sony Rep. @ photokina yesterday. I asked if he could give any insights regarding the Sony A7x systems. He said “In a month there will be a new firmware update that redesigns the menu system.” That’s all he said he could tell me. Lets hope this is true!

Wondering if SAR readers will be ahppy with this….

You can now preorder the new Sony A99II:
In USA at BHphoto, Adorama and Amazon.
In Europe at Calumet Germany and WexUK.

The Sony A5100 got marked as discontinued at Digitalrev (Click here). The A5100 is certainly long due for replacement. But I suspect the Kumamoto earthquake did mess up with Sony’s replacement plan.
