That's interesting, because the first things I read about version 5 (by Sony!) was only the addition of compatibility for the Sony adapter.
Do these improvement also apply for the NEX-3?

The update is pointless for most C3/5N users - all new features for them are applicable to the Alpha AF mount adapter only. But it brings the original 3/5/VG-10 a big step closer to the firmware features of the current models!

Hey thanks for the update. I'd seen this on the Uk site where they only mention the adapter compatibility addition so thought would give it a miss. Now I must update my nex5 tonight! |

Didn't I have 3D-pano in my NEX-3 (v4) already? I don't know.
Anyway, I have just updated to V5 and yes, it seems that boot-up time is considerably shorter. Perhaps, it's just wishful thinink, but I really have the impression.
Let's hope battery drain has been reduced as well.
