With so many camera releases and updates in the last couple of weeks one that I wish and hope to see in a firmware update is the new menu system on the Sony a99 II camera. Sony finally addressed the worst menu system I have ever used and is making it more user friendly.
What did they do? Sony put all the video/still functions in the proper places so you don’t have to search around for it. Brilliant! LOL. I haven’t actually seen the new menu in full action but from what I have seen looks so much better. I never understood why video settings are spread out in so many diffrent sub menus. It’s really hard to remember and yes Sony added the option to have a shortcut for S35 or full frame. I want that on my ar7 II PLEASE!
Another nice feature is the S&Q (slow and quick) menu. This looks to be a very simple way to over and under crank the camera.
The question I have will Sony update the existing cameras with the updated menu system? I sure hope so. We have suffered enough don’t you think?
