i heard there will be firmware update in March, let's hope so. The only thing I learned that will def be on it will be the ability to take 32gb cards. Other than that I guess we just have to wait!

I would feel loved if the rolling shutter issue was somehow resolved. IMHO its a pretty nasty effect that we shouldn't have to deal with. Would NOT want to show clips to a client and have to explain what the hell it is and why my oh so fancy camera can't fix it.

Is that not a cmos hardware issue?

The only thing Sony MIGHT be able to do is up the scan rate.

I'm hoping that the firmware update will give it a tape drive so i can record HDV if I need to, and also give me the option to stretch the camera like a bellows box so I can put it on my shoulder if I want. That would be nice.

Those Sony software guys are very clever, you never know!

more of a request for the XDCAM transfer software but I wish I could filter out clips that had a shot marker in them.

That way I could add a shot marker to the good takes while shooting and only import them.

I know I can easily scroll through all my clips and look for ones with shot markers and mark them as good and then filter those out, but that's a pain... At least add a keyboard shortcut to mark a clip as good...

I'd like a more accurate presentation of the histogram. The edges of the box are not the edges of the allowable range. At the very least I'd like indicators for 0, 10, 50, 90, and 100.

If Sony could of upped the CMOS scan rate, they would of.

If this is possble via software, all I can say is please offer this upgade.

Dear Sony, if you're reading this please improve the highlights compression algorithm, so that foreground object do not act as an ND filter against brighter background, causing non-uniform white clipping of the background as described here:

I wish they would fix the zoom top handle problem discussed here:

On slow speeds z1-z10 the zooming is not smooth but stutters.

As the firmware update is probably coming, I'd like to revive this thread with my next wish:

- put the TLCS Level setting into the Picture Profiles, so that auto iris can be best suited to the gamma, knee and black settings used in each PP!

A firmware upgrade that would prevent the EX1 from draining the main battery when the camera is turned OFF.

If anyone has a Sony contact or will be calling sony ask what are the updates with the new Firmware update they have started to input into some units. Mine is V1.03-0351 and I got it last week, but some folks that sent their's in for repair are starting to get them back with V1-05-0405...What does this do? Also when will a Firmware update be released to the public for user update via USB?

It just makes sense that since NAB is just a few weeks away that if any firmware updates add features such release might happen around NAB. Sony may not be in a rush to distribute a maintenance update if a more significant one is just around the corner. One can hope. One can wish that they've read this thread too.
