I had no discount but I was happy to get the camera before to return to Paris, France where they sell it for €3,499... Which is about €1,000 more than buying in Singapore and get the GST rebate.

I had no discount, I am so happy to have the camera though. I'll get the GST rebate though as I am flying overseas. Some other shops got stock at least for me. If anyone is looking for one A7r2, please let me know.

What is the Comex ? I am in Singapore until the 10th September so if there is anything worth going to, please let me know.

Who gave the double GST promotion ? Was this including the strap and the 64GB card ?

Hello, I got my Artisan Artist special leather strap this afternoon together with the 64GB card and the camera. The strap could not be personalized but that's ok. The Sony store at 313 would not give these away anymore, they offered a discount only...

Clarke Quay. This is where I stay when I visit Singapore. It's a great place. I will have to check this lens as it is tack sharp and the bokeh is really nice.

Is the A7r2 sold with kit lens ? I thought that it was sold as body only..,

Ricleo, As well as the A7r in my camera bag, I have a NEX-6. The NEX-6 auto-focus is blazingly fast in comparison with both the A7r and NEX-5. So how does the A7r2 auto-focus compare with the NEX-6 or A6000 vs light conditions ? Has anyone done a test and reported results ?

Hi, Your name seems to imply that you are a fan of Tamiya RC cars... I did a lot of these whilst I was a teenager, all of them bought from Singapore... SS RC Models was a good Tamiya outlet at Shaw Centre... This was during the late seventies / early eighties. Now the cool thing is that we can...

Yes, seems rather weird as the launch promotion was extended and will end with only a tiny number of units sold... I am wondering what has caused this. Perhaps Sony should have built up the stock first then announced the release date... Perhaps August was too early given the lack of stock...

I'll not haggle, I'll just pay the price. I'd be happy to get it.

Hi Lancelot, I am on the list with Click! I just have to cross my fingers... I shall search for Cathay Photo and send them an e-mail too. Thanks for the suggestion, this is very much appreciated.

Interesting ! A friend of mines called 313@Somerset and reserved a set on my behalf. They told him I was number 45 too ! :confused: How many number 45 could there be on the list ? Could they have more than one list ??? The salesperson also said that the next stock may not be enough to satisfy...
