It may take a while to get the body but it's an official sony sale! I ordered one early for 199!!! What a steal.

thanx for the heads up! I ordered one too, it'll go on ebay and finance something else. . . Thinking about getting few more though.

I came all the way to paypal check out, but was told they didn´t ship to Norway. The amount they asked for was, as you state, 199 + shipping. Incredible offer (even though I hate the ergonomics).

Same for Switzerland.
Oh well, it was worth a try. At that price, I'd sure take one.

Hope it works for those of you who ordered it. It was surely a typo, but I wonder if they have to honour it, or if they'll find a way to back out.

So this is the Great Sony a7r with the even Greater Exmor, offered new for 200 bucks. Imagine what that is going to do to the used value of these cameras.

Basic rule of sales: everything will sell at a price. If it won't sell keep reducing the price until it does. Even Nikon didn't have to discount the D600 to anything like that level.

You can't even get some P&S for 200$. It's probably a one day fire sale but I do indeed feel bad for anyone who paid full price.

I bet this is a typo. The price should clearly have been $1999, which someone will discover sooner or later.

I saw this and thought it was a hoax at first. I went to the link and it looks like a "doh!" Pricing error. I read their terms and Sony reserves the right to cancel any order for any reason. Of course, I went ahead and bought one just on the chance it's real and they actually ship it. Who knows? I might actually like it and sell off my Canon gear.

Fascinating...................the banner ads from Sony are showing the A7R sale at $1899.99. When you click on the ad, it takes you to the Sony site with a $199.99 price! Someone at Sony must have omitted the "8" when the site was updated for the sale. I ordered one (before I found the error). Will be curious to see if Sony honors the price.

From the T&C you must agree to during purchase:

[quote author=Sony]
In the unlikely event that a price stated on a Sony Web site or direct sales materials are incorrect, then the following applies: If a Product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower price and ship you the Product. If a Product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.

I have no doubt they'll cancel my order, but for $200, why not try?? ;)

That was my feeling with the EOS-M which I have come to really like, the problem for me and the Sony is I have no lenses so in the unlikely event I actually get one I'll have to think of what to do!

If Sony honors this, it would be a legendary fire sale and I don't know what I'd do. Do I integrate the sony? Sell it? Buy that x100s I've wanted? Keep it, sell the blad, and add an x100s. Or just keep it because it was 200$ :) options are nice and if Sony says no, it was worth a shot.

Choices are good, until we have so many it detracts from the point, but time invested in what works best for each of us is time well spent. ;D

I have to make the tough decision on keeping the 16-35 f4 IS now I have the 11-24 (well it is in my local Post Office until Monday morning).

I can't see me liking the Sony, not least because of my personal lack of lenses, but my wife has never taken to the EOS-M like I did and is still using a G10, if she took to the A7R and I got a metabones.............. Hurry up and cancel my orders Sony.
