I'd absolutely add "link spot metering to the focus point not the centre of the screen" in there.

Do it, do it
Traitor.
Go backto nikon - this solves your issues lolRight fellow Sony A7/A7R owners....
I have passed on the below to Bill Drummond along with various emails / communications to Sony EU. Hope it will be forwarded onto Sony Japan for consideration.
- Improve Auto-Focus further with tweaking incl low light (comparable to the Sony A6000 / DSLRs)
- Improve continuous Burst mode AF Tracking
- Enable the First-Curtain Electronic Shutter for both first and second movement (Silent mode like Sony A7S)
- Auto ISO always seems to stick to 1/60sec speeds. Add option to set a min shutter speed (Same as Fuji XT-1)
- Ability to adjust the sensitivity of the eye sensor as it is far too sensitive on distance detection (i.e. when camera is held at waist and using the rear LCD the screen sometimes turns off as it assumes your waiting to use the eye sensor.
- Ability to upload JPEG/RAW files direct from the camera (via WiFi or 3/4G mobile hotspot) to FTP or Cloud based sites like DropBox & iCloud etc
- Full camera control via the Remote control application including menu setting changes (See Fuji remote app) incl Movie recording and LiveView
- Improve the bitrate for Movie recording to professional levels like the Canon 5D MKIII (XAVCS 50mbps Like Sony CyberShot RX100 MKIII)
- Improve AF-C for video recording to acquire focus quicker
- Ability to remove the NTSC warning screen upon camera start up
- Adjustable camera sounds volume and silent mode (like Fuji X100/s) hold down a button for 3/5 seconds made the camera silent.
- Ability to output Pure RAW files with no in camera additions like Lens corrections or NR etc
- Improve Apple Mac OSX firmware upgrade process/application (see below)
- Ability to add personal author information / copyright / email address to EXIF data in camera (Like Nikon)
- Auto-rotate of EVF information when camera is turned in portrait
- Allow LCD screen off mode via Fn or Custom buttons.
- Ability to use EVF for composition, once photo is taken it is displayed on the rear LCD screen.
- Ability to lock all rear buttons using a defined button hold for more than 3 seconds.
- Ability to link spot metering to the focus point not the centre of the screen
Let me know if there are issues/bugs or possible improvements I've missed.

Is the A7r worth it over the A7? and is the A7 kit really not that great? Considering this, EM1 or XT-1 for a move to something more compact from my 70D.
From what I've read it's quite a good lens for a kit lens, I still opted to get the Zeiss 24-70mm f4kit lens? any good or is it really only worth looking at the primes.
It's added to the list but from what I can gather, Sony has always implemented Auto ISO in this wayAuto ISO always seems to stick to 1/60sec speeds
This would be a big leap forwards. Just adjust the iso and allow selection of minimum shutter speed.
My wish list....
Sony 70-200mm f4 OSS G
Zeiss 55mm f1.8
Sony 100mm f2.8 OSS G Macro
Correct. I couldn't get the guys I spoke to to confirm details but hopefully it's something a bit longer in the 85-135mm range. Not sure what focal length the macro will be, either. That's all the detail we have to work with for now.Current official roadmap?

This is a massive thread so forgive me for asking instead of reading through it all , can some one tell me why I'd buy an a7 over an a7r or vice versa please ?

Damn. Was in a camera shop yesterday, my plastic fell out my wallet into a machine and a 70-200 F4 OSS FE fell into my camera bag. Complete accident (I will tell my wife). Maybe I can get out on the weekend to give it a good try out.
Personally I went with the A7 because of the advantages. Here's a quick list of the differencesThis is a massive thread so forgive me for asking instead of reading through it all , can some one tell me why I'd buy an a7 over an a7r or vice versa please ?
Couple of A7R shots from here in Rio.
The A7R is proving a super little discrete camera on this trip. Lots more from my World Cup adventures here.
Dreadful IMO I'm feverishly sorting money outOrdered an R. You're all very very bad people.
Just bought the Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 should be here next week hopefully.
I am thinking about trading in all my Fuji X100 gear towards the Sony 70-200mm f/4.0
Not decided yet as the X100 collection I have is pristine

The thing with manual lenses is you don't get a clue from the exif and have to remember what shot was taken with what lens and I often forget.
The Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 is one of the best lenses ever tested by DxO / DPReview... what are you waiting for?I'll be interested in your thoughts.
Most of the time I have an old manual lens on my A7 and for a while now it's been an Olympus Zuiko 50mm f1.8 and to be honest I find it hard to fault but I'm open to persuasion to the idea that I must get a AF 55mm f1.8 .
