Sony and Amazon communication problems :)
We noticed at least two curious “poblems” if not “conflict between Sony and Amazon.
1) Phil Askey from dpreview wrote: “Having spent a considerable amount of time producing previews of both cameras we were slightly surprised this morning to see full reviews of the NEX-5 on another sites who were apparently given production cameras (which we were promised but never received). We only received pre-production models and honored Sony’s request not to publish images.” Important notice: Dpreview is owned by amazon!
2) Amazon US
As you can see here, Adorama, BHphoto and RITZ do list the NEX cameras.
There is absolutely nothing on Amazon
Anyway I believe in both cases we only saw a comunication problem between the two giants.

2 years ago |This is highly unlikely, big companies are not “persons” they have no personality they are here for business and to make money, not selling NEX would only hurt Amazon and their customers since people can get the cameras somewhere else easily
Even Panasonic G10/G2 pre-order were missing from amazon for a while

2 years ago |The MSRP’s are common knowledge so any website can easily setup a “pre-order: will ship when available”. Plus, the US Sony site already has a release date so there isn’t much going on here.
But Amazon owning DPreview? I did not know that!

I am waiting for the NEX-5 with the 18-55. Being a prime member, I will get free 2-day shipping. With BHPhotovideo, I have to pay shipping.
Amazon, what’s going on over there?
