Where are the uncompressed RAW FW updates for the A7 cams?

Yes please. I shoot both M9 and A7 together lately. So sad when I move between the real RAWS and the Sony "raws".Where are the uncompressed RAW FW updates for the A7 cams?
Nobody is saying "nothing". They are saying "much ado about nothing". I've seen the files, the comparisons, and have yet to see a single image that was marginally affected by lossy RAW. The few where issues are evident can be fixed by -only- pushing the blacks three stops. Or... <gasp> properly exposing the image to begin with. Or... has anyone heard of bracketing?Jeez, some people will defend anything. Like the batteries. :banghead:
As if everyone is whining about nothing.
You clearly are doing something wrong or are not clearly explaining the issue. I don't see these massive noise issues you refer to, and the Sony files are as much or more adaptable than any other camera system I have owned.I don't know about artifacts, I know my A7 raws are 24mp, and my M9 raws are 36mp. I know I move my M9 raw exposure sliders all over the place with little new noise, and great effect. I know my A7 sliders are a joke. They do hardly anything, and much noise ensues.
I've edited Nikon files on LR/ACR since Photoshop 1.0. There is no difference between adjustment sensitivity between the two systems.Maybe it's a Lightroom/Sony issue. Anyone who edits Canon, Nikon, or Leica Raws should be aware the adjustment sensitivity is radically different.
So again, we return to the "[insert manufacturer name] is a greedy conglomerate always looking to pick the pocket of blind chumps who are in denial about being fleeced."It's not like we are saying: you must use uncompressed!!!. We are saying, we paid real money for these full frame bodies, and we would like RAWs at least on a similar level with Canikeia, as a choice.
Sony of course is all about upgrades, and I'm sure would prefer we just buy the new ones.
Just out of interest, what's the latest firmware revision for the [Sony] RX1? :ROTFL:So again, we return to the "[insert manufacturer name] is a greedy conglomerate always looking to pick the pocket of blind chumps who are in denial about being fleeced."
Agreed. I would ask Sony to stop pouring in R&D resources into fixing minor issues that affect very few users, and instead concentrate on issues that affect many users.What I'm not so sure about, is why try to play down these issues on the basis that "this doesn't affect me or any reasonable user".
It's not about what you or I think is reasonable, it's what those fanatical about technicalities think, who drive the big brands to improve their products.
On the other hand, I'd like to see much more noise and debate about ergonomics and ongoing customer support (thank you Fuji, Olympus for leading on this) in terms of firmware fixes and upgrades for free.
Kind regards
