I'm starting to see more and more discussion about the next version of the Sony a1 (the MK 2 version) and I was wondering what kinds of upgrades you would like to see. My list is pretty short (below) since a1 is already mind-blowingly good, but there's always room for improvement. Here's my list (so far)
1. Focus shift shooing / stacking
2. Deeper buffer
3. Maybe change to CF Express type B cards - although I have so much in the type "a" cards I'm on the fence!
4. Better EVF experience - the a1 seems to drop frames sometimes and a smoother experience is better
5. Better LCD monitor
6. 30 FPS Lossless RAW (just because it's cool)
7. Even stickier AF, if that's even possible. (although this is minor - I find the AF in the a1 outstanding as-is)
8. Option for manual focus override on all lenses, not just the big guns.
9. Better weather sealing on the card door.
10. Vertical or articulating tilt screen
11. A shutter shield like Nikon has instead of the more fragile mechanical shutter that I don't use )
12. Faster start up time
I also think we'll see a customizable dial in place of the exposure comp dial, although I'd still use it for exp comp
I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple too. What's your list?
