Yup. New video format for the a6000, and very significant improvement to the start up time of both cameras (obviously they switched from cold booting to a cached start).

Updating now.. I wish Sony did not use a computer based fw updater.. They always make me a bit nervous since my iMac does not have a ups 🙁..

Very easy update. Now all I have to do is get a 64gb card so I can use the XAVCs.

After updating my a6000, the aftermarket batteries (Vivitar NP-FW50 Li) no longer work. As much as I like this camera (a lot) it will be my last Sony. 😡

Just because of an US$16,99 item not functioning? 😱
Original batteries still are flawless (I've got three of those) and they are just US$49,95, it is a slight inconvenience. And Nikon, Apple, Canon etc. aren't any better.....

I have 4 different type of aftermarket batteries and they are all working fine after fw udpate on both two A6000 bodies.

My after-market battery from 2011 works on the A7rii and A7 with FW 2.0 - have you tried other third-party batteries on the A6000?

All my after-market batteries still work, among them some that I got with the original Nex-5.

I highly recommend Wasabi Power batteries (and chargers) -- fast charging and long lasting. I use them for my A7R and my D800e's.
