Four Sony Alpha Cameras Get Huge Firmware Updates and C2PA Tools

Doesn't look like all the updates are actually available yet. The firmware site (https://alphauniverse.com/firmware/) shows the A1 as having the update available, but when you click the link only last year's version can be downloaded.

I'm curious to hear experiences from those who update right away. With MLB Opening Day tomorrow and seven games in a row, I'll probably hold off for now.

I have updated my a1 to the 2.01 firmware and my 200-600mm lens to firmware 3, and since then I have tons of problems. Basically the camera does not identify the lens all the time. Never had this before the update.

If you don't need the new network options - don't update. Once you do and you get problems - there is no way  of reverting to an older version.
