UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

I do not know the validity of this but it looks like B&H let a Sony A7II software update announcement slip out early.

It appears that the A7II will get raw file format and phase detection enabled for converted lens and uncompressed Raw support. Personally I hope this happens because I have been sitting on the fence trying to decide if I just get the A7rII. If my A7II can autofocus adequately with Canon Lense I can save my money for a Canon 5dr or Canon 6D II. It will also make my future lens purchases much clearer.
I bought the A7II to shoot primarily old manual lenses. So I would not see any real benefit going to the A7rII with those lense. But I sometimes like auto focus and the current A7II is about as good as my Canon XS stuck in Liveview. I also do not want to duplicate my Canon lenses unless I have to.
I will update when and if the update is available.
