I live in uk and I have one already.
where did you get it from?
Hey Reuben, where did you buy it? Is it an European model?
Digitalrev, it’s world camera so has both NTSC and pal.
ok.. ordered the the a7s now from digitalrev to Norway. *taking the chance*
Pics or it never happened 🙂
Bought through digitalrev. At £1750 with no shipping or import tax.
Nice… also handy to know you didn’t get stung for import tax, as I have been considering purchasing from DigiRev myself.
Can I ask, what frame rates does your purchase offer? Does it have European 25 and 50fps?
Digitalrev are stocking world versions of the a7s. NTSC and pal both catered for.
Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.
That does not mean customs will not come after you for the tax later on. They have no time limit
I’ve orded countless times from digital rev and never had to pay import tax.
Yet… If they have not paid it on your behalf which digital rev do not you are liable for the payment. That is made clear on their website. There is no limit to how many years customs can go back to claim. How did digital rev describe the A7s on the customs ticket, camera, gift or some other description?
Even if a company says they will pay it on your behalf, if they do not pay it customs still come after you for it even if that effectively means you pay it twice.
How many countries is a part of Europe ? Why is only a few shown here with links ? Why don´t you support the other countries ? You never do……
Any rumours on the upcoming FE macro lenses or the FE wide angle lenses? Guess even these lenses are officially released, we need to take a long time to see the real thing in store.
The shipping date seems to be a smaller problem than the price. Sony US charges USD 2499, Sony DE wants € 2399 (that is a staggering USD 3283 keeping the current exchange rate in mind). The difference almost equals a ticket to the US.
Yep, european Sony price is crazy bad (reminder for Sony > 1$ is not equal 1€).
I hope the amazon price will fix it…
1€= 1$ is true to all the electronic manufacturers not a Sony speciality. You just need to watch an Apple keynote everytime they launch a new Iphone to witness these world wide electronic rule.
This is not true. While there is a premium in Europe, it is not one for one. The example you cite is also incorrect. Again, although there is a premium, Apple’s pricing has never been one for one.
This what they did with the RX1. Deliberate and calculated in anticipation of very few units to be sold here.
Ouch that makes it $3600 or €2638 in the UK
Actually, €2399 is £1910 at current exchange rates.
YEs buy the ticket, because if you try to ship it to europe, you will have to pay a hefty import toll, which is why it is so expensive in europe. But travelling there and buying it would work. And you will get a nice vacation 🙂
Ordering from a US online shop is both faster and cheaper 🙂
If Sony wants to sell in Europe, they need to sell to a similar price as in US, people know how to use internet 🙂
And offer a global warranty.
It’s not cheaper if you’re in the UK. VAT and Import Taxes make imports no cheaper.
I not know, maybe you buy it in a cheaper shop the example http://www.sony.co.uk where the A7s body cost 2099 GBP
Same item from BHphotovideo, included shipping and prepayed VAT and taxes, cost 1831,73 GBP. For me it is a saving of 267,27 GBP 😉
Hmmm, I was unaware of their prepaid option. It’s a reasonable saving, but if it’s DOA or needs a warranty repair it all gets a bit complicated and negates the saving. Like you, I’d like to see a level playing field myself.
This is near winter and next soo good SONY CAMERA so… i do not buy it..is
this a deal?
2014 is not 1414…so if they think to go yesterday, i wait till tomorrow, old cam does it.
( from last year= oh my good i must cal my conception..oh no my grantmother..:)
Eh?
[deleted] (posted in wrong thread)

Not enough megapickles.
