I know many SAR readers are quite upset using Adobe’s subscription plan. And the only High End professional alternative is Capture One. It’s a pleasure to tell you that I partnered with Phase One and we can now offer a 10% discount on Capture One 11 (Click here) and Capture One 11 for Sony (Click here). Use the coupon code “AMBSAR“.

SAR readers using Capture One are welcome to share their feedback on this software so that other readers know how good and serious Capture One 11 is. Thanks!

Today European readers can grab that Gold Box special deal on the Sony A7 at Amazon Germany (starts at 8.25 for prime members). The A7 is priced at 750 Euro which makes it the lowest priced FF camera in history yet. Also because on top of the deal you also get a 100 Euro cashback from Sony (Amazon Germany special page, Wex UK, Sony Netherland, Amazon France.)

Reminder:

1. Save 300 Euro on the Sony A7II sold by Amazon Germany. You get 100 Euro rebate instantly with the coupon rebate (Click on “Rabattgutschein”). And on top of that you get 200 Euro cashback from Sony (Amazon Germany special page, Wex UK, Sony Netherland, Amazon France.)
2. The same Coupon rebate action is running on many accessories and Samyang E-mount lenses again at Amazon Germany (Click here to see full list). For example you get a 60 Euro instant rebate on the 12mm f/2.0 APS-C E-mount lens.
3. 75 Euro off on the 24-105mm G lens at Amazon Germany.

Yesterday Amazon scared the hell out of us by saying that they will ship the 24-105mm lens in 1-2 months only. Luckily today BHphoto updated the in Stock status and confirms they will have the lens in Stock next week.

Thanks Tony!

At last the A7rIII is in Stock at BHphoto too. It is in Sotkc since yesterday at KenmoreCamera and at Adorama (free overnight shipment).

Still, I am a bit surprised to see that the 24-105mm FE is nowhere near in Stock at Bhphoto, Amazon and Adorama. Today Amazon updated the shipment status and says the lens will ship within 1-2 months. Seems like orders are really high!

Reminder: You can win a 24-105mm FE lens on SAR (read here).

The Dutch store Cameranu.nl is now selling the A7 for 699 Euro (after 100 Euro cashback). This is just one more evidence that the A7 is approaching the end of life. Time to make the A7II the new A7 and launch the brand new A7III :)
