Sony A99 in Stock (via third party) at Amazon and BH.

Readers keep sending me in Stock info and even some price change info (example A99 price drop in UK). But it’s hard to follow the stream of the events. I kindly invite you to use the long list of links I put up on AlphaCameraDeals (Click here) where you can check a long list of Sonystores in Europe and North America. You will see thet many stores are now having the A99, NEX-6 and the VG900 in Stock!

Small deal info: The largets worldwide online stor is now selling the A99 via thirds party resellers (Click here to see it on Amazon). And of course in Stock also at BHphoto. In face of all these new models the RX100 and NEX-5n reamin the Sony most popular cameras at Amazon US (ranking here) and Amazon Germany (ranking here).

 

Some of the readers mail I received the lats few hours:

Sven:I thought this might be interesting for Dutch & Belgian readers: the SLT-A99 is in stock at www.kamera-express.be. Including an extended warranty of 5 years, a reduction of €100 on your next Zeiss lens, a check&clean and a Carryspeed camera strap. Looks like a nice offer. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=453809504660140&set=a.152744798099947.25221.113670518674042&type=1&theater. http://www.kamera-express.be/product/sony-slt-a99-body-incl-ke-propack/

Sham: “I just shot my first batch of wedding photos using the a99. I am not a professional wedding photographer and I was at this wedding as a guest first and photographer second. Just thought I want to share this with you. Lenses used are the SAL70200G SSM & 24-70 Zeiss. ISO800 & ISO1600 used. The a99 really has huge amount of DR to be pushed well in post processing. Converted the RAW files to DNG to be edited in ACR 7.1. That’s the only option available at the moment to process a99’s RAW in ACR. We know ACR 7.1 does not natively support a99’s RAW files, so probably will have to wait for ACR 7.2….http://www.flickr.com/photos/kysham/sets/72157631862262373/

Med:In Sony Center Norway, we recieved a99 today! Was scheduled for 29th, but we got 3 of them today :) (of 3 ordered).

Sony A99 now in Stock at BH and the VG900 at BigValue.

And here it is, the new A99 in Stock right now at BHphoto (Click here).

And the new Full Frame NEX-VG900 is also in Stock via [shoplink 15000 ebay]BigValue eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

More US deal news: There is even a used(?) A99 for sale on Amazon (Click here). But I guess this is an error! What is certainly correct is that small $30 price drop via third party resellers on Amazon (Click here). And BHphoto notified me that they now have the NEX-5R in Stock too and so is the Yasuhara Fisheye lens (Click here) and the super cheap (joke) 300mm F/2.8G II A mount lens (Click here). King of Amazon mirrorles rankings remains the NEX-5n (here is the top list).

NEX-6 and A99 shipping in Europe. And look at the Nikon NEX-6 alternative…monster :)

 

Many European readers told me that after the A99 (See Jessops for example) also the NEX-6 (See Amazon DE) preorders are being shipped! US readers will have also get their A99 preorders soon (shipment tomorrow according to BH). Keep in mind that NEX-6 with 16-50mm kits will be shipped later! Here are some preorder options with in Stock status info:
A99 body Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, Jessops, Wex UK, Wex Germany, Sonystore DEUKFRITESNLSEFICH and more links at Alphacameradeals.

And by the way Nikon announced their NEX-6 competitor,…the new Nikon V2! Take a look:


Spec and price here at BHphoto. The problems with that camera are: 1) It’s too price 2) Small sensor and big camera 3) too pricey 4) Heck what a design!!!

Sony NEX-5R in Stock at Amazon.

And finally also Amazon has the NEX-5R in Stock (Click here). But the kit version with the 16-50mm still isn’t available in any store in US, Europe or Asia. And the fact that BHphoto puts the shipment date on January(!) worries me quite a bit. If you want the camera now you may don’t buy it with that kit lens!

And two more deals reminders:
