Accepting Pre-Orders Now. Estimated Ship Date 08-04-2015
Not anymore, looks like they blew through it pretty quickly this morning. Just called too and they can’t any more pre-orders at the moment. I have one on pre-order from B&H from day 1 but Sony offers student discount which is very substantial so it works out better.
Student discount? Please elaborate!
Sony offers 10% when you sign up through their website with a student ID/email.
I don’t think it would work on pre-order. I have Ford EPP discount as well. And I didn’t get any discount when i tried to pre-order. With the extra tax, Amazon seems like a better choice.
But will it go on sale on Prime Day? :p
I hope not. I don’t need another reason to buy it (yet…).
I simply expect the camera to be delivered in August 2015… not to be too disappointed if I had to wait a few additional days….
Here in Asia we usually get them before Europe. Maybe 24-25 of July according to my dealer. Just sold my A7II on Saturday. They could not tell me when they are getting the Batis lenses though.
I hope, wherever it ships first, we see lots of review videos with various Canon lenses and adaptors. The first couple weeks of reviews will determine if I order or not
Keep an eye on this channel, they always post some extensive tests on new cameras.

And camera bags apparently.
It has been unusually quiet with this camera. Very little beyond the initial release images and no video at all outside of the one Sony piece.
Folks, if you’ve already pre-ordered one….feel free to plug in my address and have it sent to my house. I’ll take care of it for you:)
If you had an address or real identity and not just here to ban the best photographer.
You are now using information derived from my work in photography.
They know what you are like and how completely false it is too.
A lens bullet belt is something I would like to have, one that is quick release and weather/shock proof. Green also only has part as yellow/warm temperature component doesn’t it, and green looks good to us, whats more with the red component higher the contrast with anything warm coloured would increase too: don’t shoot just grass and expect it to be anything but green or expect a shot with a lot of green not to unbalance the AWB of camera or something. Otherwise forget about photography and my life.
In fact you are thinking of magenta shifts- away from true green. What have we learnt? nothing apart from the fact your interventionistic guesses are worse than speculation and educated ones.
You’re comments make more sense if I read them backwards. That gives me a headache so now I don’t bother.
I can’t undo what you did, but I can try and assure you stop in future.
Guess what that might be.
And it only has the most negative consequences.
Two things- and I’m being serious here so try and answer seriously.
1) Do you ramble on to piss people off?
2) Are you translating your posts into English using google? Please explain why your sentences appear nonsensical. Either you’re doing it deliberately or you do not speak English natively. I hope it’s the latter.
You are ‘anarchists’ living in Totnes who started in a s*xchatroom and have moved here, much like I started and mastered photography.
As people I met before if only once or twice and only engaged generally with one of you in that respect, the subsequent era has been horrendous upon finding you act together this way, with all relations dissolved that even existed you can only do greatest harm, and are, most of all for the last two years, where I said this. i don’t feel alone on this matter because somehow I reckon its obvious what you did and are doing, and what harm that can do to my future in photography, to anyone who cares to ‘concern’ themselves with the truth of it.
I’m smarter than your politics and you aren’t respecting me as even an associate, go away, before it gets even more serious. they know I don’t like it and that its something I don’t want and never would and can only be done by way of what you are doing, with no positive aspect for me when I myself am most positive and must be. I passed the bs detecting test when I realized what you were all actually like. Its not just my intelligence you insult.
To repeat my heartfelt advice, please seek help as soon as you can.
Writing, “they know I don’t like it and that its something I don’t want and never would and can only be done by way of what you are doing, with no
positive aspect for me when I myself am most positive and must be.” is incoherent nonsense.
Even if you honestly believe it makes perfect sense, I assure you that it does not.
I’m also troubled by who you think ‘They’ are. Do you feel paranoid that people are out to get you, in some way? This again is not the case and is a reason to ask for urgent psychiatric help.
You know where to go, the door across from the market place where you sit and make comments with politically incorrect fervor while totally hypocritical and wrong, only the worst stereotypes yourselves. You are the enemy of meaningful progress not the government whose actions on your behalf you think so highly of.
You were even friends with the Tony Jones: get away car driver.
is that where you learnt your record mixing skills?
He thought that was a bad thing too, sitting in the cafe nearby before it, like the first time I EVER visited, in the other cafe by the supermarket- i never went back, its a portal to that point, when I return the cycle is complete and you should all vanish from my life.
i worked out the motives of all siblings today. That means I saw through what even they couldn’t know to hide. The clues were across both as it happens as I somehow construed them recently and inverting the uncommon reading from the one most in evidence. But the solution is once again the problem.
the truth: behind the evil action: they resented my life with my stepfather, a family life, they never had, from there you must look at the individuals, but that’s it: its false as they interpret, unequal treatment, however its true in regards we had great times together like in Greece on holiday. That’s almost impossible to deconstruct from the uncommonly reading sis but I have now, she had NO father you see, she was rejected when she went to look for him, she pretended a perfect life thus with step father for me and made me fortunate while themselves a lot closer and formally arranged than seemed true: a decoy: to make me the subject of other sis evil envy, because of how grandfather did what he did to her, and because no one did anything about it, that’s even the TRUE excuse self defense decoy she used with that other sis for using me as demonstration; but in actual fact I remember, i did care unlike anyone else about anything such and remember the instances. Brother? he wanted all of it: all of it, from the life as usual and drunken denial, and horrors stepfather went through at hand of mother turned, and yet keeping up appearances with him there. He doesn’t know either, but he did it ALL, and for everything to himself. Master detective. I need not justify myself with how they acted, what they say knowing nothing, because that’s the truth; it was VINDICTIVE. That’s why that sis denied my separation from the source and my suggesting to simply myself ‘get revenge by having a life at all’ how ironic, shes the most deceptive and false of all. ‘left home at 15 years old like normal people’-(didn’t even know I had worked) Turning it always upon me. (I was hardly ever at ‘home’ at all after sixth form college (where i fitted in a night class of photography as well because I wasnt allowed to take photography and music technology a levels- by either parent- the other one is part of the later situation of course further..all the while step father with honestly good times and identity building then long dead and gone that sises REASON for WHY: FALSE, i respect that time and knew it was gone and dealt with it all perfectly- he called for me even as her husband a sometimes police man was there {they visited once and there all together the lie was formed in a single qualification”” already falsified by my ‘learn photoshop as way to get into work etc- alternatives to university etc but knowing lie by sis who could be seen to have done it: she didn’t, brother did} I was called by stepfather- ‘driven to distraction’) and after one year not at all to now) I dreamed about step father last night and figured it all out from that basic this morning. Case closed. She is the only one with a family, she ‘went off’ to Australia as soon as step dad had one of worst chronic conditions, and was like ‘i don’t like goodbyes and i went off when step dad (had worse kind of chronic illness like radiation poisoning and worst treatment)- perfect foil- what would i care?-im not there to know what goes on etc- yeah and yet you have the ideal source- like grandma the one i protected her from, regards those calls on sundays involving her and an archaic word i was scolded by german life model at sixthform- also good at observational drawing but no photos allowed! cleaner NOT beauty model, nastily for questioning9and a local truck driving leader of criminals who threatened me and still could-other cleaners partner ‘if i did you wouldn’t get up again’)- but left it at that- now the calls are with that sis, like ‘if you don’t like reply presents and cards don’t do them! if grandma ruined christmas that way-still doing them…’

I passed the bs detecting test when I realized what you were all actually like. Its not just my intelligence you insult. You will ‘show’ me how to be and yet you are the ULTIMATE hipocrites, and I’m telling all because of that one fact, you can say NOTHING you don’t even have real identities. You are gay this that and the other and perhaps one approachable female? I get on better with women and you would have all the ammunition you could muster regards that, as it happens I will be working with a lot with my photography so instead of looking down the barrel of a gun i’m shooting you first, I don’t like you or want you in or near or doing anything in my life. Only I seemingly could say that and I have so that’s that, I feel better even the short times I have had enough and resolve it completely as my natural response. Politics=zero instinct. Lesson learnt. That’s also why i’m moving on with my important stuff. What are you? nothing.
What is someone with an interest and real identity? problem? sure but not the sort that is insoluble as you demand yourselves be. As I say, you don’t have to be an egalitarian to know that a situation with only men or only women is always a bad situation, and i’m making my own situation apart from all the bs, nothing is more bs than the all male bs non identities telling me how I should be and with regards what they have done and been doing, and would do in future. Its proven in all other regards not of gender, well until now and its been proven absolutely. But in my life apart I have had a lot of female friends, of friends at all. Your nihilism is a crucible for the most pernicious bs and nothing else.
Wow what a nutjob,
I actually like posts from IlluminatedObserver. Not that I am reading them all completely or understand them, but I think they are not intended to be understandable or readable. For me his/her posts have more meta-communicative aspect, and I am sure there is quite smart person behind them. Anyway I know some modern prose-writer are publishing similar gibberisch and enjoying high recognition.
Schizoaffective disorder is a condition in which a person experiences a combination of schizophrenia symptoms — such as hallucinations or delusions — and mood disorder symptoms, such as mania or depression.
Schizoaffective disorder is not as well understood or well defined as other mental health conditions. This is largely because schizoaffective disorder is a mix of mental health conditions ― including schizophrenic and mood disorder features ― that may run a unique course in each affected person.
Untreated, people with schizoaffective disorder may lead lonely lives and have trouble holding down a job or attending school. Or, they may rely heavily on family or live in supported living environments, such as group homes. Treatment can help manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for people with schizoaffective disorder.
This is what happens when you spend too much time on this site, long posts that make no sense.
You need some serious brain surgery buddy.
If you ever have surgery or treatment, consider what proportion leads to iatrogenic complications or if those complications are the listed ‘cure’ to an incurable invented problem.
Last time I saw someone as insane as you, he was walking around with one hand in his shirt calling himself Napoleon.
The voices telling u that u are the best photographer? If they did, they lied. People who have talent or jobs don’t post so much non sense that takes up all of ur time, knowing that it matters to no one. if SAR comment section is ur only social life that’s just pathetic. What’s it like to be avoided by everyone online n in real life?
Y’all never heard of a chatbot before?

Ladies and gentlemen we have just heard back from Pluto and yes, they are mooning us!
I’m on the top of the preorder list for the a7rii so will definitely be getting the first batch.
I am also definitely not buying the Canon 5dsr.
But I will not have my camera for an upcoming shoot so I will be using a 5dsr with a 150-600 sigma sport, 1.4xtc, and sigma 150 macro.
I will be able to review it, and then when I get my a7rii I will be able to directly compare the two cameras.
Since I only shoot animals I will give a little differrent perspective that the typical reviewer.
Sorry Barry, but would you please explain your post for me?
First, how do you know you’re at the top of the ‘pre-order list’, and why would that matter particularly?
And, if you’re not buying a 5DsR, how will you be using one?
Regarding the bit I do understand, I hope it’s a lovely bright day, as a 150-600 with a 1.4tc will be hellish to use in the gloom, even if it focuses successfully!
Barry is always on the top while everybody else is on the bottom, that’s a rule of thumb. The 5dsr part looks quite mysterious indeed… The only two things besides buying are possible: renting or stealing, hope Barry goes with the first one.
I heard Barry actually BUILT his own 5DSR.
No just the special BarrySensor inside his 😀
The folks at Adorama were kind enough to tell me my place on the list, something I’m sure they’d do with any other customer who inquires.
I really don’t mean to be disrespectful, but I’m not sure which I find more odd: that Adorama (and other suppliers presumably) will provide accurate queue positions to customers, or that you would even ask.
Surely, unless there is some major disaster in the supply chain, a reputable company would definitely order enough stock to fulfil their orders and send them out within a very short timeframe, so first in the queue would make almost no difference to last.
All this aside from the oddity of wanting to own the first of anything. It seems like a reason to boast, but very quickly turns into the fact that you would then own the oldest; not so worthwhile!
Thank you for your (I’m sure) unintentionally ironic contribution.
Ordered ot the second it was released, and checked my status
Renting
I use similar lenses a lot, at f8…with 6.3 and 1.4x. Still closexto that.
With regard to your ordering, I refer you to my reply to Mr. Stewart.
As to the lenses, I admire your tenacity (I’m still curious about the 5DsR that you don’t own, won’t buy, but will use…)!
I need high resolution and will not have recieved my a7rii in time to use it.
Pluss the only 150-600 sport I can get my hands on is in Canon mount.
So my only choices for this shoot are rent an a7r plus adapter…with slow autofocus…or rent the d5sr .
I would prefer other choices but this is the best currently available…plus I actually get to use the camera so I can update my opinion based on actually using it.
I can promise you the likelihood of A7RMK2 running out of stock at launch is slim to none. So everyone will get their camera, preorder or not. Despite how great this camera is, only a handful of people are willing to pay $3~$4k for a camera. Not to mention Sony has a much higher production capacity than Nikon and Canon. It is given when you see they keep moved the shipping date forward three times already. It is an indication that the supply is greater than demand.
Agreed. I don’t think we’ll see delays unless Sony ships slow, the A7 user base is much smaller than CaNikon. The A7RII is an awesome package, I have one on order and I hope its a huge success, but it won’t be hard to find when its released simply because its $3200.
I expect minor discounts by December.
B&H and Adorama are showing the same thing – Aug. 5. Looks like its been moved up a bit. Hopefully this one sticks.
Got mine preordered in Oz, stil Aug estimate, Hurry Up… And gimmie a free Batis also
I’ll never buy another item from Amazon again until they fix their horrific shipping policies, and allow buyers the choice of which shipper is used (ups/fedex/usps). 2 lost packages in 2 months is outrageous.
Can’t wait to get mine.
Hmmm. I was hoping for some reviews and RAW files before it ships. Maybe this means Sony still has some surprises for us in the software…high res mode?
They won’t risk it and if they do they will only use compositions that don’t reveal the camera’s flaws.
Any info on whether Canada and the US will receive shipments at the same time? I’ve pre-ordered my AR7II from Henry’s, who mentions in ‘August’ they will be shipped – Other Canadian retailers say August 21st – maybe this will be updated? Has the 5th of August always been the official release date in the US? thanks!
I am doubting Henry’s will get it at the same time, but I’m hoping it won’t be much longer. I’m in the same situation as you. On the other hand, it is possible we may get it before then..

Folks, just a few more hours until Amazon Prime Day. I hope you reverse mortgaged your house. Time to scrape the pennies from under your coach cushions!
yeah, works on pre-order just fine. Amazon taxes me (i’m in CA) at 8.25% which makes it worse than the %10 discount from Sony. But the trick is that you get $432 in accessories with student discount on top of it. That makes it best deal bar none as of today.
When Sony fixes the 14 bit RAW file for the entire a7 series they might get another nickle from me but not until then.
How about a penny? I’m sure they’ll take a bag full of pennies.
Why fix it when they still get your time following up on their product?
B&H date was July 28, so slipped a week. If it slips again I’ll have to cancel and re-order when I am more likely to be around to recieve shipment, at which point summer is missed and I might as well wait for discounts to show up. I was really hoping sony would surprise with an early ship date, I will be really sad not to get some summer shooting in with this incredible sounding camera….
Do not buy a7RII just yet. I got a deal for 2700 Euro,- from a reseller. Normal Price from Sony is 3500,- what a difference.
