E-mount is DEAD DEAD DEAD. They’re selling off the remaining stock and focusing on A-mount.
LOL
It is a little odd. I’m an A77 shooter contemplating the A77ii or A99 OR A7 🙁 Sony are hedging their bets
I wonder if the FF Photokina announcement will be a rangefinder style FF on the low end which may eventually render the current a7 irrelevant. Just a bit of a notion I’ve been entertaining.
Yeah, how entertaining is the notion that a Photokina announced low end rangefinder style FF camera would render the current a7 irrelevant?
In your specific world a specific manufacturer like Sony might do such an unlikely thing?
Well, considering they keynoted a QX sales video featuring a “doggy cam” at CES, I wouldn’t put anything past them.
Not to mention Admin is hinting as much.
I’m passing on the A77II, and A99II. It just makes more sense to invest in higher quality glass. Lenses hold their value, while bodies become obsolete relatively quickly.
The A77II costs the same amount as the 24mm f/2 Sony, and the Zeiss designed lens will probably do more for your image quality than a marginally upgraded body.
Or pick-up the 100mm macro which is absolutely outstanding on the A77. That’s also a better upgrade than the A77II.
I found the upgrade from an APS-C body (A-57 & Nex 5r) to FF (A7) to be a significant improvement in IQ.
Sony is switching everything over to the new D-Mount.
It is actually called the DD-mount. It uses large stereoscopic lenses with an outer shell made from a soft pliable rubber compound so it is ergonomically pleasing to grip and hold for long periods of time. It is painted light tan.
They’re actually developing a larger-than-large format digital camera. It’ll be the size of a desk and have a pancake 1-600mm f0.95 zoom lens. Image quality at ISO 1,000,000 will be better than any existing camera at ISO 100 because it will have a 4 pixel (Bayer CFA) image sensor for maximum signal to noise ratio.
Just so everyone knows, I was totally sarcastic and quoting “that guy” who used to post this all the time about A-mount. No I dont believe this is bad news for E-mount or for Sony. 🙂
His name was Dan, and he disappeared after the A77II was introduced. It devastated him. He’s probably in a rubber-room, wearing a one size fits all jacket. We don’t miss him.
uugh … UK/Europe discounts already
so they prety much want to buy your old camera for less then what you can sell it for?
What do you expect? Sony is not a used equipment dealer to offer you the market price.
Yes, this is how camera stores make money. They have to sell it for a profit, does this surprise you?
Yesssss… That’s exactly it. Give us all the cameras!

Just sell your camera the ‘old-fashioned way’. Or sell to KEH camera. They seem to evaluate and price fairly.
US again? When are we gonna have this kind of deals in the rest of the world?
Don’t see anywhere that someone could get $900 off on an A7s. Maybe $375 but when I put in my A700 as a trade, they said it was worth $175 for trade. So how can you save even $375, trade in your A99 for $375 maybe? What a joke!
It states that the $375 promo is in additional to the trade-in value $175 for your A700, so you will get $175 and still have $375 off for A7S, and $900 off if you buy all the lenses together with A7S…
What? How could you possibly interpret it that way? Try clicking the link.
You are actually right wnl, I got an email for Amazon with new codes. My bad. Amazon does a crap job with that promo though. They never make it clear it’s an actual $375 extra- or certainly not clear enough- most people here missed it.
It actually says right on the graphic SARS copied “credit is in addition to trade-in value”. I was going to point it out several days ago but I wanted to make sure I got my order in first 😉
I think the fair price of A7S should be around 1100$, Otherwise it’s better to buy a Leica. At least, you’ll know your equipment will keep it’s value.
Sorry A7R
agree
Most funny story I heard this evening.
If the A7S sells for $1100 then the Leica T should sell for $500, as much as I like Leica their recent offerings are a joke.
IM MAD!! I was so excited to buy an a7 for $900 off. BAD ADMIN!
Any updates on the stacked sensor?
Interesting.
They list the “a7K” as a viable trade in. I would think it was a typo except they list the other 3 a series cameras. Methinks we shall see a new a7 body soon. K.. Hmm If R is for resolution and S is fro sensitivity, K must be for.. ? Guesses?
I could be wrong, but isn’t K the shortform for a7K(it-Lense-Bundle)?
You are correct. A7K is the A7 with 28-70 kit lens
