The A7r has a significantly shorter start-up time (even without Play Memories!), only the first start-up with a fresh battery is still slow (not a big issue).

I did update, and didn't test it it all, the only thing as many said, faster start-up or turning on.

I updated my A7R under Mac OS X Mavericks. No problems so far!
Have updated my A7 but don't want to do the A7s if I lose the updated versions of 'camera remote' that was already installed in the camera when I bought it especially as the updated version has now been removed from the playmemories website. So does anyone know if the firmware update actually effects the app

Its kind of stupid these are set up like this. They should do like most and use the SD cards for updates. I'm kind of hosed as I erased my mavericks backup yesterday as I'm pretty happy with Yosemite. Pissing me off here.

Guess I could download mavericks to a external drive and boot from that. I'm tempted to try it on Yosemite first.

I tried various techniques to make it work on Yosemite. All failed on my system. The firmware updater saw the camera and then errored out before starting the installation. :-|
It's a PITA when manufacturers make the update process even more fragile by requiring you to use their software running on another system to do the job, rather than running the software entirely within that which they can test directly, the camera. It means they have to update not only the camera firmware but the firmware updater for all the platforms that users run..
I got lucky: I've been too busy on my system to run the clone update on my secondary backup boot drive, so Mavericks is still available. I might keep it around a while longer now.

Win/A7R update version file sizes are pretty close to one another.
For 0.1 Mb it hardly seems worth bothering with
Update_ILCE7RV102
File size 181 MB (190,103,640 bytes)
Update_ILCE7RV110
File size 181 MB (190,222,424 bytes)
