A55 Video Improvments Feature Request

[robertvb]

There are some improvements that I would like to see on the A55. The microphone picks up all the noise from the AF lens which can be corrected with an external mic but this can hopefully be improved via firmware updates?

Also, when HD panning, there is considerable stuttering which is presumably because there is no 24p or the frame rate? Again, could a firmware upgrade fix this? Manual video controls would be good.

24p would mean more stuttering (larger gap between the frames), anyway thats due to the shutter speed, which you cant control. Manual control over the shutter speed and aperture would be very welcome on all video capable cameras. I agree!
