This is one of the (very rare) good European deals. You can grab the RX100 for 504 Euro at Amazon Germany (Click here). De facto that this isn’t a third party reseller deal or some unknown ebay seller makes me think that we will soon see price drops in other stores too.
I still have no info about a possible RX200 or RX10 release. There was a rumor from China pointing out a possible RX200 release next week. But it’s hard to believe the rumor is correct.

Intresting! Anyway, I dont want to buy the old model if the new line up is on its way. To bad there are no leaks regarding this. I will buy one from the new generation to play with before the new FF nex are going to arrive=)
Fingers crossed that the announcement of the Leica Mini M camera, will make the price drop on Sony RX1.
Investors are urging Sony to get OUT of the electronics business in favor of their very profitable insurance business. (!) So, if that is indeed the new direction of Sony’s, at the moment, ailing business model, what happens to their tiny but profitable camera business. Could a revised NEX-7 be the last of their NEX and, as well, the RX line and the larger body Alpha series? Let alone, maybe the concept of a FF “NEX-9” will be entirely dropped. I’m sure Nikon and Canon would feel less challenged if Sony dropped out of the picture. Oh well…
Not every investor knows what they’re doing. Loeb’s analysis, for example seems flawed. But there are always people who think that the parts are better than the whole.

One hedge fund manager does not make a majority opinion. In fact, I think Hirai is doing the right thing for Sony.
This is just another speculation. 2 weeks ago someone speculated Sony ought to sell their finance, movies and music businesses and focus solely on electronics…I believe both are not good ideas. Sony need to re-balance and clean up their portfolio. May be BRAVIA and VAIO need to go but why rid themselves of hefty profit makers like the imaging division which includes professional video. PlayStation too has potential I guess lots of people pay for the PSN and games. I read the credits for Uncharted 3 – it is unbelievable, most movie super productions are simpler to make for sure, but then a movie ticket is 3 to 5 Euro where I live and the game costs 30 euro, so…..
I don’t think it’s a particularly good deal, you can find it for 20-30 euros less in italy.
Come on 24-120mm F2-3.2 lens and PDAF on sensor!!!!!
