And here it is, the new A99 in Stock right now at BHphoto (Click here).
And the new Full Frame NEX-VG900 is also in Stock via [shoplink 15000 ebay]BigValue eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
More US deal news: There is even a used(?) A99 for sale on Amazon (Click here). But I guess this is an error! What is certainly correct is that small $30 price drop via third party resellers on Amazon (Click here). And BHphoto notified me that they now have the NEX-5R in Stock too and so is the Yasuhara Fisheye lens (Click here) and the super cheap (joke) 300mm F/2.8G II A mount lens (Click here). King of Amazon mirrorles rankings remains the NEX-5n (here is the top list).

And why does the Sony Store in the US not have any in stock? Wouldn’t you think they would have it before a mere dealer?
So many I know ordered from Sony Store and now are getting shafted by having to wait.
Well said. You’d think by eliminating the perceived middleman you’d get the order shipped at least on the same day!
PDN PhotoPlus Convention NYC at the JAVITs Convention Center.
All the A99s are Taped Shut by Sony Staff
They must be hidding a whole lot
All other vendors allow you to put SD Cards in to Test the cameras
Sony is the Only Vendor NOT allowing testing of the A99s at the trade show.
Without the special 6 lens, Autofocus is reduced to 19 points
NO Third party lens
NO photos while shooting video
They have about 15 A99s on the floor at the show
All with the Big Black Tape across the Memory Doors
The SD Memory doors, must be breaking off.
No, they’re probably not hiding anything…. just don’t want meatheads putting SD cards in and out of the slots all the time!
They’re not hiding anything unless you think there’s a mass conspiracy and Sony has paid every single person all over the world to give good reviews?
As ALL the Camera and Photography booths of Nikon, Canon, Leica, Ricoh, Samsung, Panasonic and many others – have open cameras and encourage user testing.
All the other SONY CAMERAS ARE OPEN for testing –
But NOT the A99s
That’s the Way these PHOTOGRAPHY Tradeshows work
Nikon and Canon even have Fashion Models, Cheerleader and High Color Costumed Dancers, so you can try their cameras. You bring your own Cards and Take your own samples and eval on your own.
BUT NOT SONY for the a99 – All the a99 Memory Doors are taped shut with Black Duct Tape. – It’s Amazing.
Why is SONY not allowing access to the a99??
There are a lot of PAID reviews out there?
Maybe they just didn’t want you to use them?
Is it wise to buy now 70-200G 2.8 ssm ?
Sory for oftopik:
It is wise to buy a 70-200mm Sony G lens that is one of my favorites to use with the a77 I can’t wait to try it on the a99, B&H sent me the tracking, I paid for UPS 2nd day air so Monday I should be one happy camper
I was wondering how in the heck B&H got the camera before Adorama? Talk about getting in the wrong line.
I just cancelled my order at Adorama and ordered from B&H. I even paid for FedEx so I’d get it by Halloween. Adorama’s only advantage was bundling some free stuff with the camera, but the free stuff in this case was a free camera bag that would probably be too small to hold the camera with my lens, and a slow memory card I’d only use for back-ups. Getting low-light shots on Halloween is more important than that.
I guess you have to call to cancel. I tried to call but they were already closed despite the time. Must have been special holiday today. As long as I get it by next weekend. I will call Sunday and try again.
BigValue wants $3,999.95 for the VG900 that has a MSRP of $3,299.95 !
Why is the vg900 4,000??? That’s way overpriced by 800!
It’s actually in stock at Sonystyle with around 10% off.
Amazon US has 5 alpha 99s for sale this very moment.
17th St. Photo — not really Amazon. $50 for standard shipping >.>
I’d rather go with BHphoto and pay $22 for 3 day shipping.
cool
