A300 Firmware Upgrade?
Was there an A300 firmware upgrade? From all the discussions regarding the A700 high ISO disappointment vs the similarly equipped Nikon, it seemed reasonable that a firmware upgrade for the A700 could be anticipated. Is there any anticipation that a firmware upgrade could offer such dramtic improvements to the 300's high ISO capabilities. The other area I would like to see improvement in the A300 is fps. Is fps something that could be affected by a firmware change? Possibly, shooting in a lower resolution to bump framerate.
At the moment I guess the only people that will know of an A300 firmware update is Sony. There is less need of an update as the sensor design is different on the A300 and it didn't have the same issues with 'forced' RAW NR.
If they do a firmware update I'd like to see the smart converter button customisable.
