Has anyone heard any recent info on when the rumored update might be available? I'd heard December and thought possibly before Christmas to potentially boost sales.

Quicker? My A77ii is so quick it couldn't be any quicker, unless you mean in low light.

Misuse of the ability to do 100% pixel peeping is the bane of digital photography.

Turns out it can get faster. This is a nice update... cannot wait to get my teeth into the XAVC output now.

I went to the Sony USA site and couldn't find it. I went into a customer service chat room and was informed the firmware update is not yet available here. I didn't feel comfortable downloading from the Chinese site given all the problems that are possible when trying to download something from a non-sanctioned site. Recently I got an adware virus when trying to download a manual for my TV. Think I'll wait for the Sony USA site. I'm a bit confused about if I have to get a new, expensive card to use my camera with the upgrade?

It is now available from the UK site, so the USA should be here tomorrow. You do NOT need a new card to update the camera with V2.00. However, like all cameras that want to use the XAVC-S codec, you will need an SDXC card if you want to use XAVC-S for video.

And I picked a 90 mb/sec 64GB one for under $30 on Amazon.

Found it on the US site this AM.....Dec 11, 2014.
Didn't see any separate instruction file.
Downloaded file name is Update_ILCA77M2V200.exe.
I'm a very cautious person. If I run this will it split into instruction plus a file I'm supposed to run? I read either here or on Dyxum that you update via UBS cable. I want to know what to expect before I do anything.

I loaded the update this AM. Went fine. Haven't tested the low light focusing speed. The extra movie codec is there. I usually keep it on mp4 but checked out what the camera would do if I selected the new XAVC S option to see if the camera would do any complaining and it didn't. Of course as much as I paid for the Sandisk 64gb 95 MB/s card I'm using it shouldn't.
