As an A7siii owner I’m pissed but if I was an A1 owner I’d be livid. Especially seeing camera like the FX-30, ZV-E1 and A74 get features that could be easily implemented via firmware.

I think the problem for Sony is it produced too many camera bodies

Fingers crossed for the A7SIII. I love that camera but it's been left way behind. The new FX3 and FX30 updates are a good step in the right direction. If we don't see an A7SIII update soon, it's probably not coming.

Facts! I’m so let down by the crappy screen and abandonment of features for the A1! They don’t take care of us users. Fuji kills them in this regard!

I bought the A7S3 for video and it's my first professional camera for that... I saw the updates for the FX3 & FX30 and it's truly upsetting... come on Sony!! 😡

I have the Sony A1 and remember hearing rumors about updates in febrary, it's now mid April and still nothing, practically lost hope at this point, it's a true shame

I feel your pain. I'm also very disappointing. Not sure if I will ever by an end of the line camera from Sony again. I think I 'll go for a Panasonic next

I paid $3495 USD plus tax for my Sony A7siii and I'm not happy about the lack of firmware updates. Still a great camera, but I moved to Sony because Canon crippled their cameras now I'm having second thoughts.

David this situation is truly getting RIDICULOUS.... I mean, think about it: Internally the A7SIII and FX3 have the same parts, so there is no reason why they can't add all the new features to the A7SIII... and with the A1 (which I own), it's even worse. I mean, SONY created the new category of 'best of everything' flagship camera in the A1, not the consumer... If you are going to create a new flagship series - and charge $2000 US more than any of your other models! - you damn sure better do your best to keep it as up-to-date as possible...It's getting to the point where I'm thinking that Sony is not updating specific cameras so as to intentionally isolate certain features to certain lines, in order to stimulate more overall sales. I have already decided that I will not buy a future A1II unless Sony changes their ways, or at least acknowledges the issue in some manner.

As a Wholesale Sony User - A6400, NV1, a73, a74, a7s3 and a1 - not to mention an nx80 video cam - I have now decided that along with the lens' I will no longer be continueing in the Sony con, I have watched the way both Nikon and Canon (and more recently Panasonic - have been playing catch up and along the way exceeded the current specs of Sony be it with new models or for the most part by upgrades. This tells me that Sony simply do not get the fact they cannot appear to compete with the others in upgradability. We are simply getting equipment which at the start exceeds the competition but quickly loses its lead because they simply cannot update their equipment. Sorry Sony you have lost a customer !!

People need to start leaving negative reviews for the A7SIII on whatever website they bought it from.

I love my a1 too and it feels to be abandoned by sony but i think / hope they are testing acurate to deliver a good result.

Extremely upsetting, annoying and disappointing situation. I wonder if there's any formal or more organised thing we can do to approach Sony with a demand. I know they have control over what they do but we have all financed the development of these new cameras by buying the A1 and A7s. This degree of dismissal really isnt ok. Any ideas about organising someting?

My a7iii is my baby and will stay with her until I can’t anymore

Still believe Sony will do a right thing 🙏

100% agree. They're making it so obvious that they want to force you to buy more of their cameras to get those features. So greedy!

All these updates aren't crucial to me. The most crucial one to me is Animal/Bird eye detect in video mode for a7SIII.

Very honest and real situation. Thank you David. I hope Sony will release an update soon.

Back in the old 5D and t3i days, when canon used to forget about us, the MagicLantern guys saved the day

The A7SIII still a GREAT camera, but I understand. The people I’m really sorry for are the people who bought the A7SIII a month or so before the FX3 came out. Honestly I don’t see the need for a future A7SIV.
