Sony will release a firmware update to the NEX FS100

In my opinion there is absolutely no way they will put 720p 120fps and/or HDR on a low/mid range camera. It just isn't going to happen, but I'd love to be forced to eat my hat if it does!

yeah, maybe is a dream, but remember time ago we have to pay about US&300 only for a NTSC-PAL upgrade to our Sony cameras, now is for free and a lot more. And HDR is not that complex, MagicLantern do it for the Canon 60D; so dream is for free too...

...and here are the details for the FS100E (PAL) firmware upgrade:

Sony : New FS100E & NX70E Firmware available in March 2012 : United Kingdom

Applicable to Asia-Pacific (PAL)?

So if I but the alpha to E mount adapter now http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/819768-REG/Sony_LA_EA2_A_Mount_Lens_to_NEX.html I won't be able to use AF with those lenses.

Will 3rd party lense from Tamron Sigma etc. have the AF feature with this adapter ?

Also from it's size and the base it doesn't seem it will mount flush to the body of the FS100.

48p over 48p for double NTSC 24p, like Peter Jackson's setings for the Red Epic; and I insist in the HDR system

Disappointing to note there is no real time lens correction like the NEX 5N, which works very well.

The one thing I don't see in the update list is the ability to use markers on an external monitor. I posted about this on another thread. The fact that I can't view any of the markers on any external monitor is a pain. I've been shooting with a shoulder rig and a Zacuto evf and z finder, and I really need the center marker to help keep my shots level.
Does anyone know if this is forthcomming?
