Sony US extends SLT offer “while supplies last.”

–

Sony US is clearly trying to clear their Stock of SLT cameras. They just extended the SLT offer running at Amazon US (Click here) “while supplies last“. New A-mount cameras are expected to hit the stores in very early 2014. It’s till unclear yet if the new A-mount cameras will be announced and available for preorder in autumn.

To sources and readers: I keep receiving rumors about many new cameras and lenses. Please excuse me if it takes time to post everything. I always try to at least double check the rumors to avoid major mistakes. The rumors I am working on are:

1) NEX-FF release date and lens specs
2) APS-C lens cameras and lenses
3) A77 mirrorless successor specs
4) A-mount Full Frame camera specs (two cameras!)
5) Hybrid A-E mount
6) New RX cameras

On all these fronts I got specs and info. But I learned from the past that some of them may not be correct (for different reasons). So be patient. I am doing my best every day now!

P.s.: particularly the NEX-FF rumors I am getting sound ground breaking!…and expensive :(

Sony A99 price drops coming soon. Canon sells 6D for $1499.

[shoplink 19536 ebay][/shoplink]

First worldwide price drops on the A99 body are coming very soon. And Thanks to 6ave you can get two A99 superkits: [shoplink 19386 ebay]One for $2,271 (Click here)[/shoplink] and another [shoplink 19387 ebay]one for $2,280 (Click here)[/shoplink] for a very low price.

But price of FF cameras are dropping lower and now went down for the $1499 at [shoplink 19536 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink]. If Sony will ever release a new low end FF A-mount camera than this could (or should?) be the price tag. Only 12 months ago I would never have expected FF cameras to become that cheap!

Sony A77 body no more sold by Amazon itself.

For the first time since the introduction the A77 body is no more sold by Amazon itself (Click here to see the page). As I told you before the successor is scheduled to ship in early 2014 only. It would be a bit too early fro Amazon to discontinue the A77 sales. Maybe it’s just a temporary condition. Let’s see…
