I wrote to Sony Xperia President (you all got a copy of the email for transparancy purposes) unlike many it was not critical of Sony Xperia., rather the opposite, it was an offer of PARTNERSHIP a way of reenganging with their fan base in order to make a better product. The email was addressed politely and properly, even given the customs of doing business and the honourable way Japanese behave.
(I am lucky to verbally speak a smattering of Japanese-due to the martial arts stuff I do, I cannot read Karji characters yet so dont ask me to try:P)
I have also engaged my concerns with the excellent staff at Leeds Sony centre, who are brilliant , professional and helpful people.
Sadly Sony President and European press chose to ignore the email and not to engage with us. Again (for the benefit of our moderators) it would be helpful if Sony techs engage with us properly and personally deleting this forum would be a huge step back, we all love the Sony Brand and not just Xperia.
Sony we ask and invite you to re-engage personally with the community, the same comminuty that made your name, we DON'T want to simply make demands as other fans do we want to WORK in partnership for a better product.
There are many Sony Xperia experts here who will love (myself included) to work WITH you for the better product, its the only honourable way to achieve this.
Below everyone can find the letter I wrote to Sony Xperia President.

Now that Sony have released the Sony Xperia II, the question that needs to remain is what about us Sony Xperia 1 users that have invested into a Sony product? I mean Sony company does not owe us any freebies just for the reason we purchased a phone from them, however they DO owe us a 4k EIS fix. We Xperia 1 users aren't asking for the world-we just feel that now that Sony have a new model out ,they should not abandon their previous work and that is to render a 4k EIS FIX in both normal and Cinema PRO camera apps.
Also to FURTHER develop Cinema Pro, such possible popular gimbal support and to liaise with companies to get this integrated !
I remember (after I won TWO PC UK Overclocking championships) I used to work with DFI LANPARTY motherboards and we designed some of the best Overclocking motherboards on the market, EVERY FEATURE and even the BIOS (worked with the famous Oscar WU and Jarry Chang) was designed around user feedback and NOT just the experts! Sony Xperia if it wishes to win the hearts and minds of people, then it needs to adopt a similar principle.
I love the Xperia 1, however in many ways and judging by what the Mark II has, some of us feel that Xperia 1 is really a BETA to the Mark II. Moderators and possible Sony reps, what I/ and WE (judging by the feedback on here) we are not asking for anything crazy or being unreasonable, we just want you to fix the 4K EIS, as you see on many forums the 4K EIS does not work on the main Lens.
Sony can you work with us users on this please?

I have fully tested out this issue on my Sony Xperia fan channel.

After all your marketing did say it had OIS, but it didn't mention that is was OIS in 1080p HDR only on the main lens. Can we both work hard together to get this issue resolved? Remember not everyone can afford a gimbal after paying a fortune out for the phone.
