Is there a source for comprehensive information on firmware upgrades and downloads for the EX cameras? I rather expected to find a sticky like the one for manuals.
Hours of searching Sony websites reveals that they are a disorganized mess. But that has always been my experience with Sony, that their web presence has never lived up to their corporate reputation. The best I could find is a PDF document about only the the latest firmware release for my EX1. But no actual link for the upgrade utility software (PC or Mac), and no sign of the actual firmware download itself, either. Or any historic list of the firmware versions and release notes.
I bought my EX1 as "B stock" from my local dealer, and it didn't come with an SxS card. I have been using the MxR adapters I got from e-Films in Australia and some older Transcend 16GB SDHC cards. But I am having terrible luck with any newer SDHC cards.
I also bought e-Films' e-HDR and it never worked, but that is another story. I am pretty much reduced to using an external SDI recorder if I need any kind of reliability. :-(
