Thanks. However all my PCs available both at work and home are Linux OS systems. Too bad Sony still lacks simple support for other platforms.

Sure, the startup time is faster compared to before 
I don`t own a AF lens, but I heard the speed on FE lenses has improved AF.
That`s all I really can say for now...

As for me the most interesting section in 1.02 changelist is
| Quote: |
Provides support for the SEL70200G lens:
- Supports the "Fast Hybrid AF" function and future Fast Hybrid AF compatible E mount lenses
- Adds the "Focus hold button" function
Reduces start-up time:
- The start-up time has been reduced in cases when the camera is switched on immediately after being switched off
Improves image quality
Provides support for additional PlayMemories Camera Apps™ and additional features for previously supported apps:
- Supports the "Liveview Grading" and "Smooth Reflection" applications
- Supports the smooth automatic exposure feature in the "Time-lapse" application ver. 2.00 and later |
What kind of image improvements are there? Is it only for JPEG? Or RAW shooting is also affected?

Apparently it only affects high ISO JPEGs.

I've updated my A7 today.
Camera does boot a little faster, especially when switched on and off again fast.
I have the subjective feeling that the menues also became a tad faster and low iso (<100) looks slightly better in 100% view; they seem to have completly reworked the JPEG engine, not only high ISOs. Contrast/dynamik range looks noticable different in peaks looks more harmonic and natural in 100% view, , less "artifacti", definately better for my eyes than before. RAW shooting is not affected I think.
I have an AF lens but can't say anything yet, as I've only used the camera indoors today (worked very fast but can't say if faster than before). EDIT: Also no noticable difference at daylight. As fast as always.
Differences are small but it's worth to install the uprade anyway!
100% view
ISO 64

Ver 1.02 was needed to support the FE70-200/4 lens. AF seems a little quicker and startup has improved. Of course startup can be effected by the menu settings. An AF lens will double your startup time. Mine takes 1 sec with a manual lens and 2sec with a AF lens. |

I noticed a bit faster AF, general performance & startup is faster, too....as i never shot JPGs, the RAW quality is usually the same. |

Yes, there is a upgrade to A7 II. I upgraded yesterday. Uncompressed RAW makes filesize jump to 47MB. Very hard to see any difference in most cases, but the cRAW looks slightly more harsh if you push EV in post and look in the shadows.
There is a thread about it here:

No. Only the second generation cameras have uncompressed raw opinion.
