Now, Windows has not been on a three-year release cycle for some time now. The update cycle for Windows 10 was approximately two releases per year.

What’s going on with this new hardware for cameras from Sony? Now, the announcement from Sony is fairly low-level. But, parsing through the technical documentation reveals some interesting results.
