Absolute insanity. I never thought I’d see the day. WOW.
Why the surprise? Given the rate of Sony pumping out new models w more mp, more sexy features every other month, there should be no surprise the older models would decline rapidly. In 2-3yrs, you’ll see A7R II at ~$1k pricing pt too.
Next year should be real interesting. I see new camera sales going down further. There is just way to much product on the market and not enough reasons to upgrade. Sony FE has got to be putting the hurt on APSC sales including D750 now 1500 and you can even grab a D800 for around 1400.
“Unavailable”
FF bodies cost more than APS-C mostly due to the sensor, often they also have more expensive bodies but the big difference is the sensor. Given the number of lower cost FF bodies available the actual sensor cost most be going down pretty fast, plus discounted bodies due to the model churn for all the makers as they are putting these cheaper sensors into more affordable bodies.
sensors are not expensive. Price of Sony cameras are inflated. Dealers get between 30% and up bonuses from recommended selling price.
tell you example sony RP is 3500 euro,- if I would tell you how much dealer pays for Sonys a7rII you would be pissed off. you can go to any Dealer and ask for a 25-30% discount. The dealer will still make a lot of money.
relax they only had one in stock. probably beginning of next year is when you will see the regular 1k price.
These are the times, when I think living in Europe is a rip-off. Not only are wages ower than in US and the consumer electronics prices higher, but we never get such good deals. This sucks here!
And don’t even consider trying importing it yourself. Last year I bought a fancy cooking device from the states for 150$, 50$ was for delivery. It was still cheap I thought.. until following month I received a bill from DHL that I must pay an additional 120 Euro for customs and administtrative costs.
Ouch! That hurts!
Besides, most of the Sony cameras for the NTSC market dont have a “Region selector” mode, so one is stuck with only 30/60p. In Europe you can choose between 30p and 25p though. Anyways, with the new A7Rii (and hopefully new models), the issue is been adressed.
next time, when they send you bill like this, do not pay it. This is typical scam from DHL and Fedex when they contact you to pay a import tax. This is billed to fedex or DHL but it is not for you to pay. they just ripped you off.
yes we do. Do not forget you need to add tax in US and 1 year guarantee. When new a7rII came out. first week the price dropped to 2600 euros.
Friend of mine had a7 2x they had to replace it because there was something wrong with crappy plastic door.
But you are right. All this electronic is a rip-off.
The last deal I got was 10 years ago, a clearance at MediaMarkt, they sold me a Minolta 85mm G for 300 euro. Must say the service from Sony was very good, that lens went kaput within a year, but it couldn’t be repaired so they gave me new Zeiss lens back…
