Did the firmware update that came out at the end of August fix any of the problems people had reported in the past? i.e. slow start up, poor focus,,,

no, returning this one, a big disappointment, one of the worst point and shoot i've owned, the flash is the worst among other problems no amount of firmware will ever fix

No it did not, except for the tiltability of the screen, LX7 is still the best Lumix that I own.

With updating the firmware and putting the tv intl game mode I have noticed only minor lagging at time compared to before the firmware update. Turn off motion smoothing also helps.with studdering during game plan. Certainly not the best tv for gamers but overall game play isnt a nuisance either...

I have the same problem with my 1690T. I updated the sw today and it seems to better.

There was an update released a while back for the focusing problem. It has been resolved. BTW: Get the MKIII's full frame.

Did you try to update the firmware? My firmware version was very old out of the box, and the device keeps freezing and crashing and disconnecting. But after updated to the latest version, it works perfectly! �

I've never updated the firmware and still haven't seen any issues with battery life. Typically, on a 10-day vacation with daily pictures etc I'll see the battery start to go low on day 5 or 6. Maybe you got a unit with a defective battery?

There probably isn't a need for the firmware upgrade - I couldn't find an explanations of what the update includes. The table works without it. So if yours is working and you don't notice anything unusual - than don't update. :)

I don't know about firmware updates, but this is an awesome device. I've had mine nearly a year without any problems whatsoever. The recorder is a great device with crystal clear images. It records everything in the direction it is pointed in. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Seems a bit slow compared to what I experience. I've found that using an SD card with a fast write speed (45mbps or higher) and turning off auto-image-review in the settings really helps to significantly speed up shot-to-shot time. I'd also recommend checking Sony's website for the latest firmware updates (can be found here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=NEX6&template;_id=1&region;_id=1&tab;=download#/downloadTab). Hope this helps!

I like it very much. If you have any questions about it, just let me know. The do post firmware upgrades frequently. I had upgraded to the latest, but had to roll back as there was a bug in that update where it quit playing my protected wma files. I put an issue in their bug tracker and they said they'd resolve the issue soon. But I really haven't found the need to upgrade the firmware anyway.

I bought mine only 2 weeks ago and the firmware I have now is dated 8/24/07 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1036. I have not tweaked my settings yet. The defaults are looking very good with free over the air HD channels. Put in HD channels or blueray player or Hd-dvd player, if all look good then just be happy with it.I can't say for sure about the refurbished unit.

Oh, absolutely! Yes, a firmware update is needed but the cost is minimal - a small pinprick and a few drops of blood from your firstborn, and you're good to go.

if you're referring to the lag that was present with the first release, it has been fixed with a firmware update. http://pioneerdj.com/support/product.php?c=3706&lang=en&p=DDJ-SZ&t=295

Mine is running 4.2.2. Sony usually is on the slower end of the update cycle.

Huh, try the new 7.5.1 firmware release issued today. It solves many of the 7.5 issues.

On mine the motion detection and email notification do not work. When I looked for a firmware update it appears they have abandoned it (unless they have done something in the last few months). I generally use it with a third party app such as WebCam XP to send me email on motion, but that is annoying as you have to run your computer all the time and when it freezes and you're away, your dead in the water.

I as well have a focus problem, I have to bump the zoom a bit when I first start the camera. Not aware of any solutions and am looking for a warranty fix.
