Thank you Jono. It would also appear that they have improved the whole system. Quick work from Sony and seems to go somewhat against the grain of what people have said about Sony's speed with dealing with issuesCongratulations David!

Indeed! David found the bug *and* a viable workaround very quickly. :clap:Congratulations David! (for those not aware, David defined and described this bug really clearly)
It is likely your cards. Get some of the new Sony 95/90 cards designed for video.hmmm, I'm not seeing any improvements there. I still get about 5 seconds of straight shooting in high speed RAW and about 15 seconds to completely clear the buffer. Certainly you can shoot bursts much earlier than 15 seconds but that is when the drive stops reading.
Might also be my cards. Class 10 90mb/sec read 45mb/sec write
Without wanting to sound like disparagement, it is quite possible that Sony knew all about these issues when they released the A7II and have been working on them for some time. Major bug fixes like this are rarely a two week effort from incept to delivery. Getting the A7II into the market in time for the holiday purchase season might well have been a priority that overrode releasing it with some of these kinds of ordinarily show-stopper bugs, knowing that they were going to fix it quickly after the fact.Thank you Jono.

True, but I meant that to mean "probable." No disparagement intended ... stuff like this just normally takes more time than has elapsed.A lot of things are quite possible.
Hi GodfreyWithout wanting to sound like disparagement, it is quite possible that Sony knew all about these issues when they released the A7II and have been working on them for some time.

The good news is that they have succeeded in improving the operations of the A7II camera, and done it quickly given the short time between release and update. That's a good job.

+1I don't think that many testers would have defined it quite as clearly.
