You'll be going to bed disappointed then, John!

Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
Yep - it's now the morning of the 30th and nothing on website. I notice the FS100 update has been bumped to April 19th now?
Sony fail. |
Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
I think the FS100 date was changed last week... still waiting here, I was hoping to have something to try before I head off on holidays at the weekend.
Maybe they are trying a bit of Quality Conbtrol on it this time. <grin> |
Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
Confirmed via Sony Pro USA facebook page 1hr ago...
"...unfortunately yes, there has been another delay to the NX70 firmware upgrade." |
Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
They pulled the '29th' from us US page. It now just says, "A firmware upgrade for the HXR-NX70U is planned for early 2012."

Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
"The one thing that is not embargoed is the new firmware for the Sony NX-70, they seem to have overcome the juddery zoom and it looks like we are getting smooth variable zoom control, I think this FW will be released during NAB 2012."
|
Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
Hmmm.... if the delay in the firmware means they've done a better job with the zoom fix than we thought, then it might be worth the wait.
I'll remain skepticable (as they say) until I have it in my hands! |
Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
The page now says "early April".

Im sure its because its chalked full of bugs still. I own 5 Sony cameras and Sony Vegas pro 11 and they all have MANY bugs, but then again so does the competition .In the old days companies got in trouble for releasing products that didnt work...now it is the norm. |

In either case I'm owed a patch and this wait is unreasonable. Give me what I need today and give me the bells and whistles later. |
Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
Firmware appears to have been launched for USA models...
Sony | Micro Site NXCAM & AVCHD No sign of it on Sony Europe yet though... |

Thanks Mike!
I just updated mine from 1.00 to 3.01, testing it out now. Edit.. Looks like the 'Selectable zoom speed' is just high and low. Low allows for a range from crawl to a fast crawl, probably about 30% of the range. High handles the rest. |
Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
I've just left a message with my Sony rep to confirm if this is for all models including UK, Asia, PAL etc. Would have been nice if Sony made this clear...

I downloaded the file from the US site and can confirm,that it works 100% in Europe too - I'm in Denmark and using PAL. |
Re: NX70 Firmware release date.
Darn. My rep said PAL upgrade available next week via the Europe site. SonyUSA just replied on Facebook saying "The upgrade links are for the NTSC models. The Sony Professional Europe site should have the upgrade link for the UK, Europe, PAL models...."
But I can't find them. You say the link works for PAL.... Why god why - do they actually plan to make it this confusing? |
