We the undersigned as Sony Alpha DSLR customers or those considering Sony Alpha DSLRs, understand that not all cameras can have all features, but feel that Mirror Lock-up MLU is feature that should be on any camera that suports the wired remote that can trigger the 2 sec time where MLU was on the A100 and A700.

This petition asks that if possible MLU be added to the following cameras by Firmware update if possible. (Service Manuals show the A200 and A700 shutter / mirror system is nearly identical)
A200
A300
A350
A500
A550

We also ask the Sony not design MLU out of future DSLR cameras.

    • MLU is a feature that all DSLRs should have and Sony is losing customers to the competition by leaving this feature out..

    • Sony, if you want to compete against the big two, try to add features, not remove the ones "you" think are not necessary.
