You remember the time one year ago when you were dreaming to get a 36 Megapixel camera for less than 2000 Euro? Well this is a reality by now. And as you can see from the graph on top the price for the Sony A7r in Germany (and generally in Europe) fell quite a lot recently! The A7r sells for 1739 Euro only at Redcoon Germany (Click here). and 1599£ at WexUK (Click here). You can find even cheaper A7r sold by UK sellers like [shoplink 27073 ebay]here (1576 Euro)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 27072 ebay]here (1694 Euro)[/shoplink].
For that price it’s a real bargain!

There’s a Korean shop on eBay that is selling the camera for 1858 US$ – if Sony grants international warranty -which I don’t know- this could be a _real_ bargain. I bought the Sigma 1.4/35 ART lens from that store and I didn’t have any problem.
It would also depend on the import+vat charges.
Oh ya I forgot import and VAT – in the country where I live they don;t raise that for photo equipment. So better buy in Europe then…
Where are you from :)?
Malaysia
admin, please lower the price of A7 too!
Sony makes nice cameras, but they trashes them so fast- they simply don’t hold their value, not even for short terms )-:
Well… I was a big fan of this website visiting the site very often. But nowadays the website is full of ads, the comments load for ages (more time for presenting ads) and just 2 out of the 10 last posts are rumours. Pity! I’m not sure what the value added of this website is these days.
Andrea, I’m sure you got a strategy for this site – but maybe you should focus on your key kompetence again…
🙁
Agree. We want more rumors to get excited. But you still do a great job with the exceptional prices discounts and so on 😉 i believe it could be way worsr, it could be in german language 😀 but still take a look at other rumors websites. Kepp up the good work andre 😉
Well, given that they still stubbornly refuse to patch it with an anti-shake mode for low shutter speeds, it’s way too expensive. What’s the point if you get shutter shake even with native lenses such as the 70-200?
most professionals don’t buy it cause there are to less lenses or they want a bigger body. Most newbies don’t buy it cause it doesn’t look like a dslr and they don’t want to pay 1700 for a non-dslr. They prefer a a58 cause it looks like a dslr and has to make better photos (with superzoom 18-200)….
a shame….
That is not true. Do you have any data to confirm this assumption ?
The cameras are not selling in large numbers. Many shops are reporting this. People are simply not asking to see the camera. The availability of the camera secondhand is high due to some switching back to what they were using. The mirrorless camera people are buying and asking for when they go into the shops is the Fuji XT-1.
So, you also don’t have any data, hearsay at best.
LOL! Have they got a decent RAW processor for their sensor or it is still jpg with all their defunct film simulations?
well if you’re saying Fuji has more fanboys/sane users ratio, then you are right!
Well, I am a newbie and I’m interested in the A7. Seems superior to any APS-C for landscapes and indoors. Most people think mirrorless equals toy though.
A7 is better only for shallow DOF.
This is totally false.
I have a Nex-5R and an a7. I can tell you that the pictures of the A7 look really better than those taken with the Nex. (Even if the Nex takes already good photos.)
Colors, contrast, definition, everything is better.
Landscapes: better DR and colors depth, FF lenses resolve more detail
Indoors: color depth and clean images at high ISO, bigger FOV (you can always get closer, but you can’t go farther away from your subject when you’re pushed against the wall)
Shutter shake problems, less lenses and the strategy relatively cheap ff bodies and more expensive lens (zeiss) and accessories (flashes, grips, cables etc.) reminds me a little bit of APPLE etc….
we will see if this strategy and fe mount will be successful…
I have still some doubts…..if no Image Stabilisation in bodies or more lens are coming….
time will tell
Yeah and you missed somehting about the strategy i have some doubts too…
Another point is even if they limit the zooms to f4 it is still very unbalanced handling (despite battery grip) so small bodies and relatively big lens (if you need one zoom lens at least a tele or (ultra)wide angle one which need the majority of users)
Such a flawed comment: take a big ass DSLR and tell me just what lenses it balances with!? It will be balanced with maybe one lens out of a hundred. They’re all different sizes and weights etc. and having a large body does not change the fact.
Instead, take the same lens and put it on your DSLR and on the A7 and the A7 combo will make the smaller package. That matters!
I shot the SAL2470Z on my Nex-7 and it was no problem at all. Felt great.
1679 euros tax inc since december in paris….
And the A7 at 1198 in the same shop 😉
I’ve had the same price (1200) in the Sony shop of les champs élyzées, in December.
They did 20% of about everything. A7, A7R, and the 35F2.8 lens. (50mm was not in shop at this time)
I wish I had taken the 35…
55mm 798 euros in january / 35 mm 593 euros in march…
alpha6000 _ 515 euros and -100 sony cashback now…
Where is that? Even without the cash back it is 90 Euros less than I have to shell out.. link please.
Europ photo, 18 rue du faubourg poissonnière 75010 Paris.
Price on prichoc.net
Thank you!
I can only wish Sony good luck in trying to rip their customers off.
and a7 1198 euros since december…
here is still 1500…
That is a fair price. I want to see such a fair price (1200 Euros) for the A7s before I can consider one. With Sony cams the early birds only get the worms. 🙁
PS: If Sony gets rid all its stores in the EU (still listing these cams for the initial prices), they will not be losing much money.
