Why would it ruin the camera?
Could it not?
- Improves the overall stability of the camera... Do you know exactly what this is changing?

Massive soft spot for McLarens. Seen the new McClaren GT? Probably the most beautiful car I’ve ever seen.

It says improves not degrades doesnt it?
Has that been in all cases?
And that's great for you, but I choose not to upgrade as i'm aware of instances were the FW has been pulled. However if they had the decency to detail the upgrade and gave the option to reset the camera to the 1st edition firmware, I might think about it.Pretty sure they wouldn't release a FW update that said it degraded something. FW3.0 for me is spot on and the extra features are welcome (I recently shot 1400 shots using it and camera performed as well, maybe even slightly better), its an improvement and a nice upgrade, haven't tried 3.0.1 yet but will.
I just updated our 7IIIs bro. 2 Back to back weddings tomorrow and Sat so maybe should have left them lol

Previous updates have killed the use of third party batteries and some memory cards and some of the apps on older models.
Well Sony would say you shouldn't be using 3rd party batteries and you cant blame them, if someone buys a cheap £5 battery from china and it frys the camera thats not exactly their fault, and it didn't kill the use of all 3rd party batteries, thats nonsense, it just shows a warning. The (1 very specific type of) memory card fault was fixed (as I stated via another FW) wasn't it. App Store was removed wasn't it and none of the new cameras support it because thats Sony plan moving forward, HOWEVER, the only app most used was intervalometer (most were crap).... which they added in fw 3.0 along with improved eye af and animal eye af.
Actually your talking nonsense the one before last did stop some third party batteries from working at all while others show a warning. Also some Lexar cards had the same issue with the last firmware along with the Sandisk cards so yeah yet more nonsense.
Is anyone using the Tamron 28-75mm 2.8.
Thinking of selling the almost unused kit lens and 85 1.8 which I got for portraits as this could replace them both.
So you've gone from saying it killed ALL 3P batteries to some and agreeing about the warning. Was the memory card issue not fixed via fw?
I can’t be bothered responding to that. Your a tit and talk nothing but nonsense.
And when FW is pulled the manufacturer rereleases an improved version, its not the end of the world. Stay on original FW and you're missing out on new features and improved performance.
That's cute. Well done.
How am I missing out on the so called new features and performance, when you don't know what I shoot?
True all the same. You often state nonsense as fact.
I think youre confusing me with yourself.
You always get in like this when someone proves you wrong on here anyway. It’s acru quite amusing. Do you do through a tantrum in real life when your proven wrong as well?
No tantrums here, you're the baby that started name calling and saying all 3rd party batteries stopped working.
Your hilarious
Yes - it’s my main lens along with a voightlander 40mm. Not been out too much yet but I like it.Is anyone using the Tamron 28-75mm 2.8.

Had it, traded it for Sony 24-105mm.Think @nandbytes has/d it.
Thanks for that, may keep both then get a Samyang 35 2.8 and an ultra wide.Had it, traded it for Sony 24-105mm.
The tamron is better than the kit lens but for portraits I'd definitely keep the FE85 which I also had (traded it for 85GM)
BTW, anyone seen their Adobe sub gone up to £20?

I have been through bit of a journey with there focal lengths and still not sure about my choices.Thanks for that, may keep both then get a Samyang 35 2.8 and an ultra wide.

It isIf you don't want to update that's your choice, I'll take advantage of the improvements. It's a good thing that manufacturers are adding functionality, if an issue arises they are pretty quick to rerelease.
What's wrong with your 85?
