Sony must be selling decent everywhere except the U.S.
Still over priced SLTs in comparison to the market.
Why can’t Sony offer pricing in line with Market offerings?
The Amazon sales rankings are poor for all SLT models due to over pricing.
Last time I looked there is NOT one single SLT model in
the top 50 AMAZON
We need value for each and every dollar spent
in comparison to Canikon market competitors.
NOT Engineer arrogance of their innovation false pride.
It’s very sad to watch Sony’s Market share decline.
As that declines so do my chances of gettting
Quality Third party product options of flash or lens
for our SLT models.
No they are cheaper. Compare a77 vs nikon d7100 and d7000.
I was in a Mike’s camera shop last week as a salesperson did a feature demo of an a77 for a customer and did a decent job of it.
The Customer wasn’t moved by any of the SLT features and responded to the Salesperson by saying “I want a real camera not some fancy point & shoot from Sony.
Sony needs to do something to change public opinion.
Can’t say I know what that would be at this point but people just feel better buying Canon or Nikon and price is not always the reason.
SONY refusals to update firmwire with REAL fixes does not help us as established users.
We wanted quality fixes of the Jpeg compression and theatering.
We believe these to be resonable
A77 is finally comparable in costs to a D7100
A77 Sensor Image Qual DxoMark ratings hurts
+ D7100 has ESensor nice
We are extremely disappointed
DxoMark NOT rating or wanting to rank the
Sony DT 16-50 2.8 lens – SAL1650
Is there so little demand for Sony A77 that DxoMark just does not care?
Today even with the price cuts
A77 rank is #46 in the top 100 –
You are Right Sony can not sell it or make it sexy and compelling enough to sell.
Indeed, it is quite unfair of Sony to not have these deals worldwide.
As it stands, the price is the same in UK pounds as it is in US dollars, so the exchange rate means the US price is only 2/3 of that in the UK (and we are not alone!).
Come on, Sony, this reflects very badly on you and does nothing for your credibility.
Admin, the a99 bundle apears as unavailable since this morning, is there another amazon store you’re talking about or you haven’t re-checked that deal?
I keep getting excited every time you mention this, just to go there and realize it’s still not available… 🙁
I don’t know why you say that it isn’t available … Amazon US is showing the grip + flash deal for $2700 odd, which is about $300 less than the price for the body alone on the UK amazon site. And I read in the DP forum that the US Sony store was “giving away” A57 bodies for $399, whereas they cost about $450 from Amazon UK.
I could almost pay for a trip to New York with the price difference on an A99 kit ….
Get your government to lower their TAXES. Plus prices in the US never include TAX.
From what I read your VAT is 20%. if that is the case. Thats explains A LOT. seeing as in the US I can get it and pay ZERO tax. And California sales tax would only be 9% in the highest areas.
Umm, if that were the only difference, then the maximum tax-free price for the body alone at the US amazon site would be 5/6 of the UK price? or $2500. Let’s be sensible here …
Often, when I look at electronics on Amazon US, the site tells me that they cannot ship to my area. I am interested to see that’s not the case for the A99 bundle. Sadly, another week has gone by without my lottery numbers coming up, so I can’t try out whether they would actually sent it here.
A99 price in EU is not taxes related, at least not only. A99 costs here about 400$ more than D800! Explain me that.
And I doubt we will see flash+grip offer here.
Sony knew what they are doing with restricting US cameras to NTSC version only. European A99 have NTSC/PAL switch. Thanks to this they can protect Europe customers from getting cheaper NTSC gray market A99 🙂
Why The 5N isnt on sale?
