New Sony US deals launched: Up to $1,000 instant rebates and up to $500 trade-in bonus!

Sony US launched new big camera and lens savings (Click here to see the full list at BH). For unknown reasons the A7III price drop advertised by US stores did not run. I guess there was some mis communication between Sony and the US stores. This was just one of the screenshots I got from US stores showing the A7III discount
