I don't recall Neuro mentioned Exmor is bad. I thought he mentioned he would buy Nikon D800/810 + 14-28 if landscape is priority one.
My 2cents: now with Canon 11-24 and new LR6 HDR merge, I think many would think twice about DR and high MP bodies.

Maybe Sony was hacked again, and the hackers are collecting credit card info. I would think it over several times before giving them my credit card number.

That's what PayPal is for. I can't believe I am only now reading Canon rumors today. Usually, I read it first thing every morning. Well that certainly teaches me a lesson –-don't start your day without reading Canon rumors.

It's a fair point. Hackers are good, but CC fraud protection is also pretty good these days. Last month when I was in France for the weekend, I got a message from my bank about suspected fraud with charges from Spain. This was on a Sunday, the funds were back in my account and I had a new card in my hands on Monday when I was back in Switzerland.

Has anybody gotten any news recently? My order for 3 is still backordered, it seems they cancelled several orders but havent heard of any new cancellations since then.
Granted, I give my odds of seeing the cameras at like .1%, but is it possible that the cancellations were for orders beyond what they could fulfill? I am not sure why else there would be rash of cancellations, followed by nothing.

on their facebook page they stated that all the orders are cancelled!
I think this was an opportunity for them to get a lot of good press for less than it would cost them for a major marketing campaign with a boatload of good will too.
oh well . . .

Help out a facebook illiterate senior please.bluemoon said:
I've been clicking, scrolling and F3ing all over

and I'm not seeing anything about yesterday's brief bargain sale.
Could you, would you please link where you saw that statement?
I did receive an order confirmation e-mail yesterday, my bank shows my account charged but post dated the 3rd, nothing else I've seen indicates order cancellation.

I'm with you there! Took me twenty min to figure it out. Look on the left under the sony info stuff. There is a small window with comments called Posts to Page. Click on it and a new window should open. Make sure to scroll down and then click on the little square icon that looks like a talk cloud to see the responses below the first comment. There are multiple posts from different Sony reps answering with the same quote about it being an error and orders being cancelled.tolusina said:

Well, to these old eyes, that's a messed up way to disseminate information.bluemoon said:

After some auguring into the FB page as you suggested, I was still unable to find an actual announcement from corporate, only what I'd call chit chat.
I did find this bit posted by Mitch, snipped from what appears a corporate dweeb's post....
"....Per our terms of service, we reserve the right to cancel...."
Some googleing found this page.......
http://community.sony.com/t5/Alpha-SLT-DSLR-Cameras/A7R-Order-thru-Sony-Official-Web-has-been-canceled-automatically/m-p/506777
Which reads like a forum post, no corporate statements posted.
Scroll down to Kim0000's comment, it may be that Sony's 'terms of service" statement has no legal weight, corporate beancounters may still be in discussion with corporate barristers attempting to determine if corporate is legally bound to honor orders or not.
Guess I'll have to watch for a refund to my bank account to know for sure.

from the facebook page, answer provided by official Sony rep Mitch:
Sony: Hi Robert, As sometimes happens, there was an obvious error on our website that has since been corrected. Per our terms of service, we reserve the right to cancel any orders placed during a pricing error. All orders of these orders have been cancelled in accordance with our terms. Thanks_Mitch

I'll disagree with that. It will hurt them, many who had their credit card charged will now wait ti get it fixed, and it generally generates criticism and loss of good will.

I still haven't received an cancelation email. I'm awaiting it but who knows if Sony could honor just a few of the early buyers. My order was @ 7:30am, pretty early. It was worth a shot.

I don't think you understood what Bluemoon said. I believe he meant that they missed an opportunity. If they had honored the orders, the goodwill generated would have been worth the expense. I tend to agree, although I don't think it would substitute for a marketing campaign – they would have made a few hundred (maybe more) people happy, but there was no residual benefit for the larger market, other than some good will.
It's not like they could build a marketing campaign around the idea that they screwed up their pricing and sold a bunch of cameras for less than it cost to make them.
