Thanks for the info.
Quite curious that they do install this new firmware while not providing it for download to all a100 owners. One question; can you tell if there is any difference in high ISO performance and noise; there was some speculation that we may see new firmware with better noise suppression . |

We may have questions waiting for answers !

Not really - they did the same thing with v1.01. I don't think anyone ever knew what was in it. -- Tom |

Is there any way you could take a picture of the firmware version on the camera and post it...
This is the 2nd time I've heard of this.... I'd love to find out what it's all about.... |

I saw a 1/10/07 Picture Browser update on the Sony site, but no 1.03 for US/Canada.

So BF/FF are caused by a bad AF sensor? The only other reason I can think of is that the actual CCD/sensor is somehow the wrong distance from the lens which I don't know if that makes all that much difference anyway since that would be the same and moving +-~1mm from your subject.

in my case i think the AF sensor was misaligned so it was just a simple mechanical calibration. I got it back in 2 days - very impressive turnaround IMO.
