Just curious of what it brings to the camera.
If you upgraded to the new firmware, I would like to know what are the improvements.
It's available from the Sony website at Sony | NXCAM & AVCHD | Accessories
And Sony continues to ignore the Mac users! You need a PC runnung Windows tu install it...

I think it just adds a lower bit rate 720P. My NX5U already has two bit rates for 720P so this adds a lower one again. Would be much more useful to upgrade to full AVCHD 2.0 but maybe the processor cannot do this.

Thanks Ron.
Seems like some of us can live without unpgrading the firmware...
