That’s reminiscent of the Nikon D2X point in time, when loads of Nikon people were jumping ship to Canon. Nikon was ‘forced’ into releasing the ground breaking D3 ahead of their development timing plans to win back deserters. I felt at the time that Nikon were holding back on even more advanced technologies, aiming to drip feed them into the market place, so as not to give things away too soon / cheaply. They have always been a reactive company rather than proactive. That said, Sony will have to do something to counter this advantage or similarly lose customers again. We will have to wait and see. I have no intention of jumping back and forth anymore. BIF isn’t a priority for me and I feel that any future change would be down to no longer needing the complexity/functionality / weight of the A1 or any equivalent spec camera system.

A useless bit of information, did you know that a Z9 and Nikon 180-600 lens is a kg less in weight than the A1 with 200-600. I could drop the weight by 250g if I take the battery grip off. I am surprised by that as to look at the set ups the Sony looks the lightest. I weighed the Sony but had to go with the weights off the Nikon site for the z9 etc.

Are you sure Iain? WEX has these weights… A1 …………….737g 200-600…..2115g Z9………………1160g 160-600…….1955g That suggests the Z9 combo is 263g heavier.

Sony A1 Firmware 2.00 out, a bit disappointing if I'm honest.

I suspect Iain was hoping for the pre focusing feature that he previously mentioned would be so good for bif. That level of step improvement in functionality is rarely ‘given away’ in a mid term firmware update. Manufacturers add it to another new model in their range as a stop gap ….or wait till a revised A1 goes on sale.

Or charge an arm and a leg to buy the upgrade - £500 a pop for FS5 upgrades, fortunately the one I bought already has the RAW export upgrade.
