Man I just hope they have a v2 for the A300! We could sure use a time stop button....
....
well I'll take +/- 2-3EV at the least!

if the v4 update for the a700 can improve it's 1600 iso images, i'm sure a fw update can help the lower models. but whether or not Sony is going to bother doing so is a different question.
they did give the A100 updates as far as i can remember, but now Sony has more devices and new ones should be out by spring so hopefully they don't just focus on the higher end ones. -

If only it were that simple!
Don't be misled by the Nikon connection. Nikon have a different sensor stack and image processor.
The v4 firmware is not a big step in noise reduction but it does allow you turn it off. -

I would be willing to compromise with Sony how about a firmware update to give me one stop on light and one stop of IS for my 700? 2 would be great but one more is better then what we have now. Don I am pretty sure you need a special or maybe even spatial license before you can use the stop time feature. Also how about a update that would allow digital grids on the LCD review screen, you choose rule of thirds, X pattern, cross hairs, something like that?
