The US store Samys is selling Open Box and Brand new Sony A7 with 28-70mm kits for $1,498 only on their [shoplink 27680 ebay]eBay store (Click here)[/shoplink]. The lens only costs $498 and therefore you pay $1,000 only for the A7 Full Frame camera. A few years ago it would have been almost impossible for me to believe that one day I could buy a Full Frame camera for $1,000!!!
Probably in a few years we will buy 200 megapixel Medium Format cameras for $1,000 too 🙂

Almost dropped my pants when I thought it’s really $1000, but no the kit lens does not worth $500. I believed street price on ebay is $250+-
+1
The cost of the lens in a kit (as is the case here) is $300.
Another faux deal from SAR.
Why don’t I live in the USA?
remember that is the pretax price and that is an OPENBOX camera. Means 4000 people going through that store in NYC have touch and licked that camera. as to why you don’t live here its because you live there. Thats why. 😀
Buying a store display model would scare me, isn’t this a bit like buying a rental car?
Yes, a store local to me lets you rent the display models to try out a camera for a few days. I presume these are then later sold as “open box”.
You could have bought a 5D classic for less than $1000 when the 5D2 was in the market. That was 5 years ago. Today, you could get one for maybe $600.
I don’t think Virtually was the word you where looking for. 😀
Yeah troll so what. 😛
it was always like that here in Japan , it was always cheap and even cheaper if you get it with the 24-70mmf4 ZA zoom.
but I personally wait for photokina to see if there will be A7R replacement camera from Sony with EFC. and if they can do it , then it would kill the D810 immediately.
Haha. I love when talentless techies make comments about killing Nikon & Canon.
Obviously you don’t understand competition is good for consumers.
Why not learn how to use your gear better and worry less about killing competition. Would you like to explain to me how you personally benefit from the competition being killed???
It’s a simple matter really, you see, every time a competitor’s camera is surpassed in picture quality by a Sony, the Sony absorbs its picture quality powers. This occurs over and over until there is one perfect camera. It’s sort of like the highlander movies, but with cameras instead of Scotsmen.
‘then it would kill the D810 immediately’.
Oh boy.
The lens in the kit costs $300 even if by “costs” you mean MSRP (compare the MSRP of A7 and A7+28-70 kit). Thus the body here is $1,200.
Stop the empty hype. No rumors – don’t write anything.
I guess its time to say goodbye. If SAR reports anything worth mentioning, then digicame-info will link to it (but that works only for Japanese readers I guess). Added to that, the reader ‘from nagano’ over there actually has more reliable insider info which he sometimes shares.
bad copy of lens
A7 was always cheap in Asia…Prices in the west were incredibly overpriced…
This is the real beauty of mirror less cameras they should be cheaper to make …but Sony will still get you with the FE lenses $$$££££
Still over $2000 in europe >.<
You aren’t looking very hard.
Link? It’s 1500+ euros with the kit lens.
I paid around same price for just the A7 body.
This is a store sample so its not that big a deal guys.
That’s right, and who knows how its been handled even if it looks good externally? You know how most people are with store samples. They don’t care – they just manhandle it (most are idiots). You can have that camera from Samys.
If the not so “high end” A7 is this low within months, what would become of the rumored “low end” FF camera?!
I was lucky enough to find the A7 body only on my local Craigslist for $960 USD.
You bought a USED body, so stop congratulating yourself. Condition? Shutter count? Doesn’t sound like such a great deal any more.
I like the fact the graphic shows “price trending” for just $51 more. Also, I get Admin lives in Europe but I typically wouldn’t expect a link to the USA site to read in something other than English. ;^)
Curved sensor medium format camera that will fit nicely in my jacket pocket?
“A few years ago it would have been almost impossible for me to believe that one day I could buy a Full Frame camera for $1,000!!!” I guess you didn’t look around much.
from the other side: you could buy a 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens for 0 USD 🙂
wow stop teasing us with 200 megapixel medium format camera! tell us the truth now! we know u are hiding something admin!
we know canon has 100 megapixel full frame under development and according to your rumor, Sony will answer back with 200 megapixel medium format. BRING IT! Canon shouldn’t challenge Sony because they will regret what they will wish for hehehe
I hate ebay to blocks theses kind of deal in Canada.
