But dont get hopes to high on ISO as mentioned . Probably post processing still the way to eliminate noise at higher ISO.

downloading is quite fast.. only 6M.
After installation. it seems like the noise control is slightly better than ver 1. ISO 6400 is quite usable to me i think.:think:

Anyway. thanks Sony for the update!

Is the result better than using the agorabasta setting?

Hmm.. anyone care to take one photo before and after firmware upgrade at ISO3200 and ISO6400 for comparison?

Its an irreversible process, meaning once you upgraded, you can not downgrade the firmware unless your camera is sent back to Sony.

not sure, never shoot with agorabasta setting before. :sweat:

Sorry.. didn't compare before and after. maybe someone else can test it. :sweat:

I see, no worries. I have to test it out myself tonight, maybe or I should wait for another 1-2 days to see if there is any cases reported hehe.

i'm wondering if A900 firmware can use it on A850? if can achieve 5fps, all A850 owners will be very very very happy. :bsmilie:
anyone bold enuf to try? ;p
