News for Amazon in Europe?
it comes with 2 batteries made in China!
what happened to the battery that is made in Japan?
The original battery is heavier. I’m yet to test their performance
Why is this camera twice the price of the A7? The development costs must have been so low as the major difference is just the sensor. Next model due is the A7t it has 6 megapixels and is £5000 body only.
Companies price their products against the perceived competition and expected customer base. Price only related to production costs in that it has to exceed marginal costs (in the medium-long term) when, of course, it’s just losing money. (Development costs are sunk costs and are, of course, part of the investment decision, but by the time production arrives the money has been spent. Of course if a product doesn’t recover its development cost and contribute to general overheads it’s likely to be doomed in the long run.
Well the goal of their investment is not to pay it off but to make money off of it. ^.^
It’s a niche (pro-video) product with an *expectation* of a low sales volume. Imagine what Canon could have done around the 5D2 platform, instead they played it safe and we got the 5D3.
The a7s lowlight af is much better than anything else, the body quality of the a7s is much better , and the amazing video with better codec, so the a7s is actually not overpriced, not much more expensive than the a7r or the original seven
who cares…give me A8s 🙂
Sony UK is sold out already…
I would be interested to have such sensor in A900 body. The idea to put FF sensor into E-mount body doesn’t have much sense for me.
The idea of putting a video optimized sensor in a camera with a flappy mirror doesn’t make much sense either.
Well, tell it those who buy Canon mk III etc…
A 5D3 is the more competent stills camera, but some of us bought into the A7 series because our 5D3’s just didn’t make for good motion cameras without elaborate rigs.
This is really embarassing for Sony. The video on the German website is not available (“html5: Video file not found”).
I am sure they can live with that.
It was only a matter of Javascript (I have usually turned off)
No deals on this, yet? What about the 4K recorder? Is that available in the EU?
A really fantastic camera! I would buy it immediately if it had 5 axis stabilisation. This would make it pretty close to perfect for video.
From which shops is it shipping? The only Sony site that has them is the UK one, and it’s already out of stock. The other countries just say pre-order.
Sony UK and Wex UK seem to have stock again.
