2 years ago |These cameras were out of stock for so long, and now they’re being given rebates, presumably to move stock, but at a lower price? What a crazy marketing strategy.
On the other hand, is stock being sold off in anticipation of a new model or two?
These are interesting times. However, it’s good if we have other things in our lives that can demand our attention and interest, because getting obsessed over this will not be good for a person.

2 years ago |Hi Rob,
My guess is they want to push sale of A33 assuming A55 is higher demand item. Anyway, this is great news. Hope the discount can last till I get my bonus
.

2 years ago |Admin, the title says A850 and the rebate is for the A900.

2 years ago |Hmm, interesting. The A900 have been sold with a lower price for a long time now, but the NEX and A33? Could this possibly mean that they’re making room for another SLT camera in the consumer (or prosumer) level?

admin
2 years ago |Because they don’t offer the instante rebate!
Rob
2 years ago |The title said only A33/55 when I made my comment on the top – so part of it doesn’t make sense with the revisions.
Anyhow, a clearout of stock may mean something’s afoot.

Savings of $200 On 28-75mm f/2.8 Lens
A good walk-around lens for a FF camera at a good price.
A total of A $400.00 discount if you pruchase the two together.

2 years ago |A33 is available everywhere (every big box store, and small retailers) in Canada so I suspect either there is a big stop or is not selling so well. A55 is hardly available (not even sonystyle store have it as a demo at least), and when becomes available, from time to time in a few specilaized stores it sel sin hours.
NEX3/5 howeever are available everywhere, even in stores which carry only PS cameras. I did not see an A900 for a long time in any store.

2 years ago |A way to help them to get certain bragging rights? By moving cameras, they are also moving up the camera sales chart.
NEX-5 I have is a great camera, but I was motivated by the sale price of $700CDN (taxes, 16mm 18-55mm all in) last December.

2 years ago |I always wonder what drives the decision makers to offer a discount on any given instance. I wonder if they see an opportunity to gain new customers, or do they want to increase demand to keep the manufacturing at the same pace, or do they really need to clear inventory for new models or, do they see a weakness in their competition’s inventory levels and want to press the advantage, or do they need to keep their retail partners happy by driving business, or some combination of the above, or do they … It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall when some of decisions are made.

2 years ago |I just bought my brand new Nex-3 with 18-55 lens for $399 CAD (in Canada), it’s like $300 off regular canadian price, so who cares about $50 off when almost any retail store sells these cameras for hundreds off?
