2) There is a $150 instant rebate on the A55 with double kit lenses again at Adorama (Click here).
3) The $50 discount on the A55 body only (or with 18-55mm kit lens) ends on September 10 at Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).
4) Same $50 discount on the NEX-5 body only (or with 18-55mm kit lens) ends on September 10 at Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).

As i understand the a77/65 not meant to replace entry level a55/a33 as thats a different category of cameras
I was wondering the same thing…
from what we know, the August 24 announcement has nothing to do with the A55/35 and NEX-5/3, so why would they be trying to clear stock?
The a77/NEX-7 are in a different class.
“from what we know, the August 24 announcement has nothing to do with the A55/35 and NEX-5/3, so why would they be trying to clear stock?”
I expect the announcement to include the NEX-5N, which will replace the NEX-5.
What Don said. And there are two possibilities:
1. Their sales to Sony decides how many A77 they get, which they expect would boost sales even more. My car dealership told me that the amount of new cars they get depends on how many they sell of last year’s model.
2. They’re expecting A77 to overshadow A33/A55. So they want to not deal with it for a while, because by the time the A77 craze die down A35 will take over A33 and A55 will have a replacement.
Great question.
Because the A33/A55 lineup will be replaced with the A35/A65/A77?
I didn’t know that the a65 was replacing the a55
what I don’t understand is: will videos/pics samples be available on the same day as the announcement or we’re gonna have to wait another month?:(
I assume the same day. Announcement may mean they have an actual product that is not shipped, ready to be shown off.
They could just be lowering the price because sales are slow on them. In comparison to Nikon d3100, or a canon rebel, these a33/55 sold very slowly.
A77 -> A700
A65 -> A55
A35 -> A33
NEX-5N -> NEX-5
NEX-C3 -> NEX-3
thanx for pointing that out, so the a35 is the only “compact” slt?
because the compact a55 is going to become a bigger A65
Somewhat off topic, but does anyone know what battery model the a77 will use?
I have a a550 currently and it uses a NP-FM500H and i was wondering if that same battery will work in the a77.
There was a post on here saying it will take the a700 battery. 500 shots.
Same battery for the a5XX and the a77
I’m new to DSLR or DSLT and I want to know Is the Sony 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM lens any good and what makes it special
NEX-3 is $70 off at bestbuy.com
Sony still has the best deal on the NEX-5, both kit lenses plus a bag and sd card for $750
