Not a great deal on the a6000. Usually the kit sells for 699 though list says 799, so the savings is minimal. Camera only (base) has been as low as 449 and is 478 now. C’mon, Amazon, you can do better with this aging product!
I need the body only to be $399 the most.
Any of them a Brack Friday Bunduru?
You know what’s really hilarious. The fact that we won’t get one discount for the overpriced A99.
its selling for $1998 on amazon.
It should be going for 1300 brand new at this point.
Because you say so?
Theres only ONE other FF DSLR type camera out there with articulating screen and dual slots, the D750. Guess what? it costs the same.
D750 outside of the EVF has better everything. It’s not even worth comparing. You can grab that body used for around 1400 and yet the A99 still goes for around 1200 used over 3 years later.
A99 is not worth 2k new- no way no how.
Not a good deal! Ebay is cheaper.
Ebay is NOT cheaper.
The price on Ebay for this item may be lower, but you take on more risk as well, and, sooner or later, this risk costs you real cash, so the price evens out!
I buy from eBay all the time. I have never had any issues. I have bought from there for the past 10 years. That’s where I get all of my equipment. Yes eBay IS cheaper. You just have to know how to shop on there. If you want to pay the suggested retail price on everything, then buy from Amazon but you could be saving a lot of money.
I just bought the a77II with 18-135 lens, Sony 70-400 G Lens and a 100mm Sony Macro on eBay at about 40% lower that Amazon’s price because I bid on the items. My camera and 18-135 lens has a 3 year Square Trade warranty after the Sony warranty runs out. I was going to buy the a600 at first but since I have other A Mount glass I went with the A77II. The a6000 was on there from several sellers new in the box with the kit lens in the $400 range. They have sold now because I just checked and they aren’t any left. Amazon’s price is WAY overpriced for this camera is all I’m saying. Even with the little discount they are giving right now.
Are you comparing prices of NEW vs USED items?
Used will always be cheaper. And ebay is a great place to buy used equipment.
However, when it comes to NEW items (especially for Sony that don’t seal their boxes) Amazon give you the best prices and you have the highest probability to get a really new item directly from the manufacturer, just because they shift so large quantities and is not economically efficient to mess with returned items.
At the same time, all returned units and the ones that have some minor quality issues sooner or later will end up on Ebay, some of them as “new”, some as “mint”.
No, I’m talking about New.
When I saw the title I was worried I had bought my A6000 just a week too soon. But nope, I got the A6000 with 16-50 and 55-210 plus the HVL-F32M flash for $900 (additionally included were a $50 gift card, set of three presumably cheap filters, and a Lexar 64GB Professional card (UHS-I 1 or whatever)). Though Adorama shut the deal down over the weekend I guess.
a6000 literally the exact same price at b&h.

Sony should offer the a99 at discounted prices.
A77ii is $848 at Amazon. Should I pick one up?
Funny, I got a a6000 about a month ago for less than that price and it also included a 64gb SD card and several filters from Adorama… That’s not a sale at all.
