Every day it’s more and more difficult to find the A77 in Stock. It’s sold out in all Sony stores (yes from all over the world!). And it is now sold out at Amazon US and Amazon UK. But SAR readers are continually helping us to find the remaining A77 (thanks!). Here is where you can find the A77 in Stock:

Yesterday I told you that A77 stocks were almost finished. But I didn’t think it would be sold out that soon! I check all major US online stores and the only A77 I found in Stock is the super A77 kit at Amazon (Click here). To bad it’s out of Stock. The camera reached the 8th position at Amazon ranking (Click here). I would have been curious to see if it would have gone close to the top Nikon and Canon camera volume sales! P.S.: The NEX-5n is the most sold camera in the mirrorless setion (Click here).

Here is the complete A77 shop link list. Only some european and asian stores are still having cameras in Stock:

Hurry. There are now a couple of A77 with 16-50mm lens in Stock at Amazon (Click here). Sold directly via Amazon itself for the normal price. But there is only one single body only option left at Amazon (Click here).

And what’s really interesting is that interview with the Sony A77 and A65 designers at Sony.net (Click here). For the A77 and A65 the designers used a styling technique called “Tensile Skin.” I really didn’t understand well what that kind of design is and the explanation made by a Sony designer sounds a bit funny: “What helped me explore this idea was an ordinary sock. As soon as I stretched the sock over our structural mock-up, it transformed the jumble of blocks into a coherent, sculptural unit. It looked fresh, and the jutting edges resonated nicely with the gentle contours. Although this unified whole could be called “monoform,” it was hardly monotonous, and there was a pleasant sense of tension. I knew that following this approach would lead us to the new shape for Alpha SLRs.”

DId you understand it ??? :)

A couple of SAR readers (Thanks!) sent me a new message sent by Sonystore USA to the customers who preordered the NEX-7. It basically confirms what we heard from other sources. The NEX-7 will be shipped in very small quantities to early pre orders and than a long time will pass until it will back in Stock (March?).

Here is the official message:

“Dear XXX,
Thank you for your recent Sony purchase.
We would like to inform you we are experiencing a delay with your Sony order. The following item NEX7/B has been rescheduled to ship on 11/11/2011.
Tracking information will be sent via email once your order ships. This number will also be available within the order history in your Sony Account. If you are unable to continue waiting we encourage you to visit our website or call 1-866-337-7669 to work with a Sony sales representative to find an alternative product that will meet your needs.
We appreciate your understanding and thank you for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Sony Customer Care

I bet those of you that will be lucky to get the NEX-7 can resell the camera on [shoplink 8454 ebay]eBay[/shoplink] for double the price :)  There are still some stores accepting pre order like Adorama or Amazon Deutschland but I doubt they will ship those within the next 2-3 months.

P.S.: There are still some A77 body only cameras in Stock at Amazon US (Click here to get it!).

Finally! Plenty of A77 body only cameras are in Stock at Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).

For the first time Amazon has the A77 in Stock (Click here to get it now!). I don’t know how long it will be available.
UPDATE: The A77 with kit lens is now in Stock at BHphoto (Click here). And SOLD OUT at Amazon.

Dear SAR readers, if you own the A77 feel free to share your first impressions and tests! I will publish them on SAR! And enjoy your camera :)

The A77 can be pre ordered at [shopcountry 8461].
