a77 firmware 1.06 : release w/o card setting gone ! lost wildlife shots

the trees are getting barer, the birds hungrier, and sony a77 has lost a feather as well :

it's lost the ability to prevent shooting without card! It used to be near release without lens!

I suppose the last update was so massive they had to find room somewhere. I think the trade off between locking the movie button and loosing that no card failsafe is a bit stiff!

the lost 20 picture of the great spotted woodpecker are sure still fresh in my memory but damn!
