Wow. This sucks: “It’s arguable that the decline in low-end camera sales has caused camera manufacturers to focus more on premium models, such as the well regarded Fujifilm X100S or Sony RX100. We’ve also recently seen Fujifilm and Olympus dramatically reduce their low-end compact lines — but if mirrorless cameras continue to not sell as well as originally hoped, it could spell trouble for a number of major manufacturers.”

Makes you wonder if its wise to take advantage of these NEX deals….
Nikon and Canon mirrorless sales are hurting the most of all mirrorless cameras.
And from may to june, mirrorless sales in the Americas almost halved. But that’s in stark contrast with the rest of the world, where mirrorless sales (units) actually increased 4%, with a total worldwide decline of 0.5%.
But that’s only half the picture. DSLR’s are suffering badly too with a worldwide decrease in unit sales of 13%.
In short, I would worry about the Nikon 1 and Canon M system, not so much the NEX system.
Correction, DSLR unit sales fell by 12%, sales in Yen fell by 14% though. While MILC worldwide sales in Yen went up by 9%, despite the 0.5% drop in unit sales.
This article fails to explain the difference between a bad Nikon system and an excellent Sony system. Sony is mentioned no where in this article. Evidently despite all of the promotion and advertising by Nikon, photographers are beginning to buy cameras for their quality and not for the name. This bodes well for Sony innovation. Lets hope that Nikon continues to sleep for a few more years before it wakes up.
Back to School Deals ?
Isn’t there usually a Flood of
Educational pricing for students.
I hope we will see those price drops, bundles, etc
for the entire product line.
They should drop the junks included with the A99 kits and reduce price by $100.
The battery and charger come with the camera. So you get an undersized unusable camera bag that now respectable a99 user would be caught dead with (maybe OK to carry your lunch in) and a $5 filter.
I guess I should put my NEX-7 for sale PRONTO before it looses too much value. I’m going FF or RX1. Undecided. I switched from BigCanon to NEX-7 just to loose the weight and I’m about to loose some more!
Now this is what I call a deal, Lol too bad I already have an a850 and a99.
It’s basically a new a900

Is this deal on the NEX to good to be true? I really hesitate to buy Sony from an off brand retailer…..
