There is also a U.S seller selling the A7 for 1600 or best offer. I am very tempted to get it.
Go for it!
And if you really want to see what the A7 can do, search for Jan Scholz blog!
Thanks for the link I really love the pictures.
The Description has the A7 description, not the a7r
Wow ! It seems that the market value of these cameras is droping really fast. Incredible. A drop of 5% a month after release for the A7r ! Now this makes wonder if the A7/A7r are commercial successes or not…
Given the low price-point, I think that might be part of Sony’s strategy (the price cut).
I suspect they’re OK making less profit per unit, and looking to make their money selling volume.
I’d say this is a fight for beachhead right now, not for profit. Seizing marketshare is crucial, especially given the horrible lack of lenses. If Sony can buy its way into being a contender, it has a chance to build a family. The last camera manufacturer that would have the wherewithal to really be a force in 135 format.
More: This is a shot across the bows of other ‘mirrorless’ competitors. With a camera this size it seizes initiative back from the EM1, a brilliant camera whose chief raison d’etre was smallness and lightness. EM1 loses this to the Sony. Likewise with the Fuji family.
We are witnessing a marketing battle here, let’s see if Sony can overcome the lack of lenses and the lacks of its first generation 135 mirrorless cameras. If it can gain a foothold, and sell a camera for the same price (or less) as the high end Olympus and Fuji, those not yet invested in a mirrorless format are going to have to think long and hard to pass by Sony.
This remind me Canon 6D; selling for over $2000 at launch and slashing price multiple times in 2 months. Maybe Sony is trying to sell A7/R with a lost and make money from lens and accessories.
how many native lenses for A7/R ? only 2 until now.
imo, Sony is more to electronic than optic company. That’s why selling high volume body is the main target fo Sony.
Actually three available and one on pre order. The fifth should be soon. A year or so, I expect the count to be at ten. That is quite good for a system that is also highly adaptable (and sells for that reason).
I would say it is a success. I have not seen so much hype over a camera for a long time. Unlike the OMD that spent a huge budget on international marketing, the a7/a7r is getting a lot of rep just by word of mouth. It’s a huge seller in Korea, which is why it was released there first. I sold my A7 on ebay ladt week and made a $300 profit. There were 118 bidders.
Correction .. there were 18 bidders. Bloody phone’s keypad.
I think I’m going to sell my Sony a7 that I got for Christmas with the 28-70 kit lens, a spare battery and the HVL-F20M flash. My brother got it at a discount for me. I’m debating selling the a7 kit with flash and battery for about $2150 or so which is what people would pay for just the a7 kit alone with tax. I’m not 100% certain yet but that’s how I’m leaning.
It’s obviously brand new, used for probably 4 hours, in perfect condition. Wondering weather I should sell it on Craigslist or eBay. The only thing that stinks about eBay is they charge $$$ to sell.
Hmm. Decisions.
It is probably best to have it on both sites. I would sell the items separate if you do the ebay thing. Sell the flash lens and body separate. If on ebay set a buy it now or best offer. You will loose some money on the original price. Probably some place between 100.00 to 300.00 either way.
You may want to note that 6ave is not an authorized Sony dealer. This is gray market gear not covered by Sony’s warranty. Not so much of a price drop.
In my experience, “grey market gear” does not benefit from wholesale pricing from Sony since they are not authorized dealers. Now you said this camera doesn’t have a warranty, but there is no way of proving that until you buy the product and according to the listing, it’s “brand new”
Is there a way of proving that it _has_ a valid warranty before buying?
That is one of the reasons I did not purchase the A7 but there are a few authorized sellers that don’t charge tax. I was thinking of going that route or wait for someone to sell there A7 with receipt.
How did you miss this gem?

Enough with the promotion of gray market auction blocks. More than half the time the warranty isn’t valid. It is not in Sony’s “strategy” to support such dealers. Of course the product is brand new. It has a warranty in the box. That does NOT mean it is a valid warranty.
There’s a reason companies like Nikon don’t even repair grey market products, you know. Price isn’t everything. If you are one of those who constantly cry over the “loss of service in our industry today” and then shop solely based on price, your complaints are no longer valid.
I’m sure Sony makes money with those sales. Sony may well be content to look the other way.
On the other hand, the regional subsidiary of Sony I’m sure does not like it.
Question: Is this official price drop? Of just an individual seller promotion?
Hasn’t anyone noticed the discrepancy in the Heading offering an A7R plus the extras to the Description for what you’ll receive being an A7, not an A7R. So, which is it?
Yes. I just posted that same discrepancy.
With NEX-3N deal on Amazon for $349.99 you get free 16 GB Sony SD card and small camera bag from Amazon ($20 value)
China’s still leading the way offering a7rs at around 1900usd(11550rmb)!
The camera you are showing is not an a7R. It’s an a7. The title says a7R, but the picture (a7) and the description of what is being sold say that it is an a7.
I wonder if the seller is being dishonest by saying a7R in the title in order to mislead. Since it’s an a7, the price isn’t good at all unless you want all the extra stuff.
