Sony 24-70mm short shipment delay in USA. But shipping in Europe!

The new Zeiss 24-70mm f/4.0 FE lens will ship from February 20 according to SonyStore US (Click here), 3-6 weeks at Amazon (Click here) and in March at BHphoto (Click here).

SAR readers Joseph wrote: “After being told by Sony on the phone that the 24-70 lenses were going to ship on Feb. 2nd (a strange date because that was a Sunday), with warehouse updates as recently as last Friday Jan. 31st, I was not told, finally, that the lenses have been delayed until Feb. 20th. I am pretty sure my order is in the first batch, so I don’t think anyone in the U.S. will be receiving this lens prior to Friday February 21st or so.”

The good news is that Sony Europe is shipping the lens and this has been confirmed by many SAR readers. It ships at Sony DE, UK, FR, IT, ES, NL, BE, SE, PT!

Darin sent me some images for download: “With the delays I couldn’t resist having a friend send me the 24-70mm f/4 from Japan. Plus Sony Japan throws in a free three year accidental water damage warranty. Not sure what to think so far, sharp until f/8 then this copy gets oddly soft, no idea yet what that is all about. There are raw images for download too: http://www.kayakphoto.com/darinmcquoid/Sony24-70.html“

Zeiss 24-70mm preorders: EUROPE at Sony DE, UK, FR, IT, ES, NL, BE, SE, PT USA at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, SonystoreUS.

A7 and A7r price drops in EU (A7 a slow as 1189 Euro in France)

It’s a bit surprising that 2 months only after the A7-A7r announcement the price of the A7 and A7r cameras dropped considerably in Europe!
Instead of the original 1499 Euro for the A7 you now pay 1189 Euro in France (Click here) and 1314 in Germany (Click here).
And instead of the original 2100 Euro for the A7r you pay 1994 Euro in France (Click here) and 2015 Euro in Germany (Click here).

Don’t know the reason why the price in Europe (and Europe only!) has been lowered by that much. Anyway, that’s great news for EU readers because they are pretty much used with having high prices compared to Asian and North American countries :)

A3000, NEX-3n and A5000 price drops in USA.

Despite all new Fuji/Olympus announcements the most sold mirrorless camera in US largest online store is the Sony NEX-3n (Amazon ranking here). That said there are a couple of new Sony US deals:
1) The A3000 with kit lens sells for $288 at Amazon US (Click and than select Amazon as seller!).
2) $109 off on the Sony NEX-3N with 8GB SD Card, Case, and 16-50mm Lens at Walmart (Click here).
3) A5000 got $100 off at Amazon (Click here), SonyStore US (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).
4) $140 off on the Sony HX50V at BHphoto (Click here).

And these deals have been extended:

2) Sony Alpha SLT-A99V Digital Camera, Vertical Grip and Flash Bundle at Amazon (Click here).
