Advice on A55 purchase

[kei1309]

hmmm... haha i feel that there's no need to be so serious about this. i'm sure that if any one of us Sony users here used that same set up, anyone could have thought of that. i just happened to think outta the box on what it looks like. not ridiculing on which photographer or his/her equipment.

sorry if you feel insulted wksoh

You are appreciated for your positive response... Thank you.. Though I own a GF1, I enjoy looking at photos in Sony & Pentax thread.

I was quoted $1716 for Sony a55 + 18-250mm + 50F1.8. Is that a good price? Anyone knows of the cheaper deal please let me know.. tks!!

breakdown price:

A55 body = $1138
50mm f 1.8 = $119

so that make 18-250mm = $459..

I would like to think, thats a good price..

Does anyone know if this $119 50mmf1.8 offer is an ongoing thing or is it going to end soon?

I think it still on going was at Sony Shop in Orchard (Isetan) they still have PWP program. So other shop like MS Color and Cathay should still do the PWP also

 

[oceantoofar]

Thanks! I just called up Sony ... they said that this PWP will end on 3 Jan 2011....

Many Sonystyle guys know nothing. They may have thought you were talking about the A550.

The A55 is a new camera that is selling like hotcakes. Chances are they ran out of stock and are waiting for the next shipment and there was a mis-communication.

thats what the sales guy told meno more a55 stock, wanna consider a33?... i ask can reserve or not, when stock come in lemme know... he say, no point, we are not going to top up the stocks ever...kns, if the replacement model dun gimme GPS.... then i will very "pek chek"!!!!

Harvey Norman quote the RRP to me.. but i control and walk away first.

anyways i went ahead and bought the NEX5 TLK with wide angle adapter already...i hope the new camera model dun disappoint

 

[oceantoofar]

yeah this is indeed very wierd! a55 only came out a few mths ago.
but today i was calling a few shops for quotes and they told me no more stocks. i asked when stocks coming. they all said dunno. which is quite wierd coz normally they shld have some indication when the new shipment is coming rite?
