A99 should of been 2299.99 at the beginning.
Admin, is SR5 that there is no A99II coming? There is some confusion about that.
I agree, it was way overpriced despite it’s features.
what feature? no wifi, crappy AF, crappy flash system.
The only feature that it had was costing 1000 dollars more than it should have. good luck with this type of pricing, if I have 2k to drop I’m dropping it on a nikon D750 or D810 when the price drop.
No need to convince me my friend, I’m still quite content with my aging mirror-flipper’. If I decide to drop another $k or $2k, it would likely be on another ZA prime.
Regards,
But since you don’t even have $0.02 to drop the point is moot.
I said “if”, you can interpret it however you want, I don’t need to take my money and buy a camera to make a point.
Save your money and by a used or refurbished D600/D610, no point in paying top dollar for and already obsolete D750. Your pictures will look just as good and you’ll have a few buck left over to get a lens or two.
The D750 is probably a good buy 1 year after release where it bottom out in terms of price. The AF on the D600/D610 is pretty bad, all the spot are right in the center of the frame (Same as the A99 clustering). The updated AF system is great. and the flippy screen is long over due on these high end camera. If I want to buy a nikon FF now, then it’ll be a D600, but i’m in no hurry, I still have all the lens to use on my A900, and the nikon lens won’t lose any value sitting in my drawer. This D750 should have been called D650, and the price kindda reflect that, it’s similar to when the D600 was announced.
So you’r just talking out of you a$$, from a position of ignorance. Not a good way to go through life son.
does it mean that you’ll take your money and buy a sony A99? if not then you’re pretty much in the same position as me… sorry but I’d like to emphasize that I don’t need to buy anything to prove a point.
Don’t feed the trolls.
I payed full price for A99 when it came out, and would gladly do it again. Thing of it is, FF bodies like A99 aren’t intended for poor people. ie, if you can’t afford to shoot FF kit, then you need to look at something a little less expensive. ie, the Nikon 600 was far better suited for people on a budget against the A99.
That being said, I don’t mind supporting Sony’s strategies when it comes to new tech. And I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in the pipe as far as an A99 replacement goes. 🙂
This is Admin words. “They decided to avoid the release of small upgraded cameras (A99II?).”
So 46mp is next i guess.
I’d definitely have taken a poor man’s a99 over the a77ii, but Sony hasn’t seen fit to offer an affordable way in for FF a-mount…
This is so boring that I managed to be the first one to submit a comment?
And your comment is even more boring than the announcement.
Still more than a NEW Nikon D750. WTF SONY!
Then buy the D750 and stop crying.
A99 is an entry-level full frame, should probably cost a little more than D610. Definitely overpriced.
Lol
As should the D750.
I’m going to. I’m definitely not going to buy the last SLT “Remix” from Sony (a99II) before they kill the SLT experiment. They are milking the last amount of money they can from Alpha lens owners. SAR already reported SLT was dead and IT IS, Sony just decided it would be a good idea to get more money from alpha lens owners with these last two remixes. The a77II and a99II.
I’m not saying Alpha is dead like other people, IM just letting you know SLT is dead and I think that’s why so many people think Alpha is dead too.
Not really a new deal on the a99… The extra batteries are new.
Still $300-$500 overpriced.
And your opinion is overrated.
He’s clearly an anti-alpha troll. He hangs out to take potshots at the a-mount.
Reading between the lines, the 99, battery grip, and batteries are being replaced. The flash (60) is a question mark.
Reading between the lines… If a replacement was soon, the price would be dropping much more.
And WTF do you know? Troll.
I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one FF A-Mount is going to arrive before Christmas. My guess is they’ll launch the entry level ($1799.99) first and when the A99 is sold out they’ll launch both its replacement A99II, and this 45-46mp camera (A??).
Not surprised, moving on to the a7r from the a99 has been a big upgrade and relief!!! I went to an event last night with the a7r. I’ll never go back to a full frame with a any type of SLT or mirror flap. Less weight, less cumbersome, more freedom!
You mean moving from the Iphone to the Ipad.
Reading between the lines, this means the A99 system is suffering another impending loss.
You dont reduce the price on something because it’s making you lots of money.
I give A-mount another year before it’s clear to everyone (even the diehards) that it is dieing a very rapid and permanent death.
And NO, Sony wont sell it off to someone else to develop. There’s no way they’ll let someone else compete with E-mount with one of their old technologies. They’ll keep A-mount on the books and release a new lens cap here or there every few years.
Sorry, but your obvious bias is blinding you to fact. Consumer electronics companies drop the prices on old stock in order to clear it before the new stock arrives.
The only thing that’s clear is your speculation is wrong and unfounded. Stop with the negativity, if you’re depressed see a psychiatrist.
Selling off the remaining A99 is to be expected before the announcement of A99-II. Hope it will be amazing…
Remember; A-Mount SLT is the future.
He’s just a biased anti-alpha PoS
I told you before… SLT is Dead after the next a99 Remix, the a99II.
It will be the last SLT model Sony releases.
The troll is strong with this one – lol
They’re clearing the old model because the new version is on its way. They did the same thing with the A850, and A900 prior to its release.
The A99 needs to be gone before the new models arrives.
Fingers crossed at a 36MP monster to ward off the allure of MF this year. :p
Which would make perfect sense as the A-mount seems better suited for studio work than with Sony’s mirorless solutions.
Hi LU CID,
As for the A99, you’re absolutely correct but it wasn’t the case with the A900. I was a
Leica shooter and I wanted to change over in late 2011. While the 5D II and the D700 were discounted, the A900 was still selling at around $3k from places like’ B&H.
Even so, I opted for the Sony because of the fantastic viewfinder, uncluttered interface, and those wonderful Carl Zeiss auto-focus lenses. It’s still going strong and I have no regrets.
Clearly, the FE is now the king and I’d love to have one for travel. For everything else I still prefer the A-Mount and thanks to the folks here on this forum, I just bought that refurbished ZA24 posted here on 10 September.

I wish the 5D MK III gets such discount.
Awesome news!
Looking forward to seeing what’s coming next for Sony A-mount flagship. My gut tells me it will be a 36mp body 🙂
My guess is 46! 😉
Oh stop it!
I’m excited enough with 36… :p
yeah why not 128MP
seriously, pixels are overrated. I’ll always take 18 GOOD megapixels over large and washed-out images that are just huge in file size.
They should be selling this at 2000Usd regular price. Not only it’s almost two year old…the competition against the a99 is fierce.
Based on Nikon’s product release pattern, I’d say Sony has changed it’s mind more than once on what was coming to market over the year. My guess is that they will refresh the A99 to compete with the other 24mp mid range FF out there and delivery something bigger to put pressure on the 36MP sensor market. Which would explain Nikon’s sporadic product release this year. 🙂
I’m thinking someone over at Nikon is getting a little worried at the fact that a monster of a company like Sony has been controlling there fate for the past few years.
Not everyone wants a pocket camera, so, given the reputation of the A7, why don’t Sony give us ‘A’ mount users the traditional A mount body (A65/77 size) that we can use big lenses with and comfortably hold, mirrorless, in-body stabilization, decent high usable ISO and all the other things we require that makes a great DSLR type camera and which will shake the boots of CaNikon. I’m sure Sony can do it so why don’t they?
Yes, please! How many Super-Hi-Res 46MP 2500+ Euro bodies may they sell compared to a cheap FF A mount? CaNikon serves their existing customers: Canon 6D – 1400,– Euro, Nikon D610 1500,–. Maybe the cams are boring but they still take pictures. DSRL market is still twice the mirror less market. 46MP bores me, no need for that. 24MP FF A mount for 1300 would exite me.
Sounds like a good idea, but the price of the A77II is $1200. Perhaps $1500-$1600 for an entry level full sized A-Mount would be a possibility. $1300 FF won’t happen anytime soon.
Tomorrow is a bad day for Sony 😀
Why’s that Lummox?
A big Panasonic announcements. A revolutionary cameras at honest price.
Sony has a good camera bus at thieves price. A7s is spectacular but overpriced. The A7s honest price would be 1200$
I’ll wait for the announcement, and hopefully it’s something really good. If it’s just another tiny format camera then I’m not interested.
m43 is not a tiny format. Is perfect for full readout 4k. Panasonic is a leader for videography
I use, these days:
For stills
A99 + A77
14 Lenses (minolta / sony / zeiss)
3 flashes
For video
Panasonic GH4
1 lens (two or three more in a near future)
If A7s was honest at 1200, what would you say about m43 being more expensive while giving you 1/4 the sensor?
Lame attempt to sell some A99’s now the Nikon D750 has been released but that’s not going to work at that price.
The only thing Sony Alphas had over Nikon was flip screen lcd’s on the higher end bodies and now that is gone with the D750 release from Nikon. I’ve Spent TOO many years waiting for Sony to deliver ANYTHING that Alpha users asked for, Goodbye Sony, Hello Nikon.
Great, go switch to Nikon and STFU.
Just be happy with your IPhone, it’s all you’ll ever need. Hopefully Nikon will release a smart phone based on a two year old design, then you could trade up and be an official Nikon fanboy/troll.
He’s an official Nikon fanboy/troll now!
the liveview on sony is still better than any DSLR on the market today. And honestly they were better even when they were making DSLR,
I am with you mate.
From a99 page:
“The a99 is the world’s lightest 35mm full-frame interchangeable lens digital camera”.
http://store.sony.com/sony-a99-full-frame-dslr-camera-body-zid27-SLTA99V/cat-27-catid-All-Alpha-99-Cameras
Somebody should give them the heavy about a7X series.
This highlights my lack of faith in Sony. They just don’t pay enough attention to the details. Their commitment to keep Alpha anything updated is crippling. Can’t even find an A-Mount camera until scrolling 2/3’rds down on the camera page. Yet NEXers are rebranded as Alpha’s. Such a humiliating insult. Let’s call the moon the sun and brainwash everyone to believing that trash is treasure… make.believe.
Sony insults the intelligence of their most intelligent loyalists. Disingenuous at best.
The guy holding the a99 is wearing headphones. Silencing the laughter of CaNikon onlookers?
NEX cameras have always been branded as Sony Alpha NEX…
