A source sent me this interesting info:

Sony is planning to update the FZ100 battery to an improved capacity but still the same size and compatibility. It’ll still be called NPFZ but the 100 number will change.

This battery would be retro compatible with most Sony Alpha cameras and give you two instant benefits:

• You have to carry less numbers of batteries
• You waste less time in swapping batteries during long shooting days

So let’s hope this rumor turns out to be true!

You can download the firmware here: sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-9-series/ilce-9m3/software/00341218

Benefits and Improvements

• Fixes an issue where the exposure may be underexposed when shooting continuously with an aperture value of F18 or higher
• Improves the operational stability of the camera

I received an indiscretion from an anonymous tipster that I would not normally dare to publish. Until two years ago I would never have believed that Sony would make a new successor to the RX100 VII . But nowadays there is a sudden great demand (and hype) for compact digital cameras. And I think it is no longer crazy to believe that Sony could update the current RX10VII making it appealing to the younger generation of “creatives” (a good word for TikTokker and Instagrammers). They
