It’s an all new camera. All new cameras start off with their numbering for firmware. I’ve never seen the number pick up from an old model to the new one.

No I am talking about the rumored 3.0 firmware for the current gen 1 A1. There were rumors regarding another update this fall. I think it was from alpha rumors.
Oh I get it. That may happen but that wouldn’t be the same firmware an a1MK2 is running. The new camera is going to have features and af that the current model won’t get.
I hate to burst your bubble but the only firmware updates the current a1 is going to get at this point is bug fixes. There will be zero new features.
I’d just like to get a autofocus fix for what has transpired from the past updates. I fully realize they’re not going to add any features but they can at least fix the issues they created.
That I suspect will happen but I’d worry it still doesn’t fix issues. From my experience the a9III updates have been great but I won’t do my a1’s anymore until it’s well proven the update is stable and makes improvements.
All the updates I’ve did on the 6700 and A7RV have went fine. Not sure why they can’t get the A1 right. It’s just odd that it doesn’t affect all of them as well.
And it being their co flagship it’s a bit crazy the resources to get it right either haven’t been utilized or continue to fail.
