Alright! Now Sony’s showing us how it’s done right here, folks. No wussy firmware update fixing boring things like problems, bugs, or the intermittent inability to turn on. No sir, such things are not fit for the likes of the NEX-3 and NEX-5s. You know what you need? New features so that you’ll buy one of them there new Bravia TVs with 3-D support, that’s what.

And, so, it’s lucky for you that Sony has bumped both current NEX models up to firmware v 02, adding 3-D sweep panormas t the existing sweep panorama mode. As far as we’ve heard, you’ll be needing one of those Bravia TVs to play the result back, but that’s a small price to pay for coolness, right?

Got a jonesing for some firmware? Looks like Sony Europe’s got the goods up already.
