For the first time since the introduction the A77 body is no more sold by Amazon itself (Click here to see the page). As I told you before the successor is scheduled to ship in early 2014 only. It would be a bit too early fro Amazon to discontinue the A77 sales. Maybe it’s just a temporary condition. Let’s see…

not surprised, the body should go with the 16-50 anyways as a water-resistant kit
TEH END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!!!
HA!
This is a good sign the the end of SLT production is getting near its end. Im very excited to see what Sony has set for its next generation cameras.
I dont know if SLT proved to be as sucessfull as Sony was hoping it would be. Maybe it was, maybe not. All I know is that SLT stopped me from upgrading my Sony A700.
I am almost certainly buying the next “a77” mirrorless replacement! Wahoo!…its been a long wait!
Lol….whatever happened to the “edit” function of a post? Its a great feature to have when typing and posting fast on a cell phone while multitasking in an airport! Hehe
At least on two occasions Amazon did not have it in stock, the last one for three days.
But Andrea, are the sales figures of Sony cameras by model is available. I’d be particularly interested in the A77 and A99.
Only Sony know that.
At amazon.de it is still available.
Admin, do you have any news about upcoming firmware upgrades?
Well if this is true that means there will absolutely NOT be a firmware upgrade, because it is no longer a ‘current’ product.
Say goodbye to your dreams of a new firmware!
You seriously think that what B&H carries in stock is an accurate indicator of what Sony is or isn’t producing? Sorry, but I don’t see B&H as being quite that authoritative! Besides I can point to countless stores around the world that still sell the A77 body without a lens. The only way you know a camera is out of production is when the manufacturer says so, and soon all the stores will mention that on their web sites too… oh, except for B&H which often seems rather out of touch or late with that sort of info.
This would also explain why Sony has stopped stocking and manufacturing some parts for the SLT’s, like the POI (translucent mirror). These havent been in stock for 5 months now, and according to the Sony service center they are not coming back into stock.
If the replacement has 5 axis stabilization I’m in!
Nikon 5200 is trash. Go troll the Nikon rumors page. Nikon is so…..butt
Your comment is trash, fanboy. Now go make a penny from your Sony. Ooops. you cant even make a penny from your sonys, that’s why you’re here, kid.
Working for B&H?
Working for Sony? Sony’s been losing money since 2008. I would quit if I were you.
Are you sure about that?
.
If Sony run stocks out of the A77 and A65 they’ll have a lousy Christmas sales wise that’s for sure. (the single most important sales time of the year and no new products..brain dead CEO)
Only the overpriced A99 and cheapo cut down A58 what a model line up!
Is the A77 body just sold out or is manufacturing discontinued ?
Probably there were a lot of summer time buyers for the body and Amazon had a run on them. Or maybe Sony is truly lost and stopped making the A77, like the A57.
Bad deal for Sony with the D7100 and just announced 70D.
