I’d pay that for a fucking bulb timer, or even more for shutter speeds like Fuji give us.
They tried this before, and gave up on it.

BMW had to back down on the heated seat subscription foolishness.
Vote with your wallets, people.
$150 for a magic lantern feature from 10 years ago lol
and so it starts. subscription camera ownership.
Saddest part is some idiots will pay the money.
Cool, now I know for a fact I will never bother with a Sony camera.
Good luck finding a company that doesnt sell certain features.
How much for the grip warmer?
Sometime next year you need to pay for autofocus. Oops you ran out of credits to focus!
They see all the Sony owners paying for skins on the outside of the camera and figured they could get in the action with skins and DLC inside the camera I guess.
You have reached your max shots. To view the additional photos subscribe to premium.
don’t you guys just leave some space then crop and tilt?
Give me screen protector, packing tape and a sharpy, I will do it for $5.
I don’t mind if the camera is free
A7vii no memory card slots, built in storage, 64gb for $4000, 128gb for extra $20/month , 256gb $30/, 512gb $50. 1tb $100/m Internal memory is 1tb in every body but must pay to use various amounts , failure to pay and camera deletes all stored files down to 64gb.
DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS 😭😭
A7x - they charge by the frame and you basically rent it.

People are wired weirdly. If they’d not offered this feature at all, people would be content. Now that they’re offering it but for money, people are super upset.
I do agree it’s a somewhat weird thing to do: they’re very likely not going to make bank with a feature that very few people would want (out of those who even bought the a7IV) and even fewer of whom would pay for it. So why make it something you pay for at all? The negative reaction was absolutely inevitable, whereas a “hey, here’s something cool our cameras can do now” might have been a positive PR move.

Yea because it’s not about the feature, it’s about paid firmware updates in general

People complain all the time about things missing simple software features.
Most people complaining about this aren’t worried about this feature but rather the precedent of simple software features updates costing money on top of already very expensive price tags.
It has nothing to do with Sony’s departments finding a middle ground and compromising. This is a result of investors not being happy enough with Sony’s revenue numbers. They want Sony’s camera division to make more money because ✨capitalism✨. It’s that simple. So, they’re testing the market with new ideas on how to generate more revenue. This here is one of them. If enough people buy this product in a given time period, they’ll start adopting this model for future products as well because investors love a dynamic business model. Try and understand what it means to greedy people if they manage to sell a very basic feature at a high price. That means they can charge even more for more complex features, which is their end-goal. Because they have the data to prove that customers are willing to pay for it. And that’s why people are upset.
