Official Sony A7 or A7r discussion thread (Season II)


There is a big price difference from Sony Store to Authorised Dealers to Non Authorised and water goods dealers. Those that Anders quoted could be from Sony Store retail price.

I checked from Sony HK retail price for A7r is HKD16,990, while FE55 is HKD7990.
Disappointing to hear that authorised dealer like Tin Cheung is selling FE55 at retail price.

Even DCfever is selling cheaper than them..

Better check prices online, go down and bargain for more...

You definitely can get it at 7K.
 

I got my A7 at $2320 and FE55 at $12xx locally. Is it considered cheap?
 

Enjoy the camera and start shooting. stop asking about price since u already paid for it.

Water goods, no comment.

Dont think so much about the price already bro. So what if someone else managed to get it at a cheaper price than you? Still the same camera man. Life's short. Shoot more worry less.

I'm not worried about the price. Just sharing to let the bro gauge the price if they are looking around for it. Maybe I'm not that regular enough to get better price. Hahaha!
 

I dunno the price for the bodies these days but i paid $1190 for the FE55 few days ago...from Funan also.
 

Consider me to be old fashioned but if the price difference aint that great, why not just get it from a retailer u feel comfortable with making future purchases and build a solid customer-retailer relationship..There's always someone who's able to get a price lower than anyone here, so waiting for the best deal to happen is pretty much like waiting to catch the biggest fish in the sea. These things depreciate the very moment it leaves the store, its just a camera. If u feel u've managed to find a deal within your initial budget, just get the camera and enjoy it already.

Need a good pancake and everyday zoom. Will be using my Nikon 85mm 1.4
Have a bunch of Nex7 lens to sell as you lose to much on the crop
 

Hi,
This is my first post here and would like to ask your help / opinions. I just purchased a sony a7r from click! (funan) and also the a mount adapter and the zeiss 55mm. I have 3 sigma lenses: 12-24, 24-70 and 70-200 (this is actually tamron). Somehow, i'm not particularly happy with the a7r and seriously thinking of returning it back and purchasing an a99.
I'm seeing focus issues even with the 55mm, so i don't think it would be the adapters issue and generally i more or less have a feeling that this is a very expensive toy, not a professional stuff. The light metering is way out, the white balance is okayish and the focus is just totally not there. Focus tracking is useless as it track, though when you view the image in 100% you can see that its quite far from sharp and to be honest the only feature what works fine is the manual focusing.
Is it only me? Did i get a faulty copy? What is Your opinion? I guess after spending 5k on this package it not too much to ask for basic functionalities to work right?
 

Didn't you test it when buying it at the shop? From what you described, you can't miss any of the issues stated, and I am puzzled how you still end up taking out your $5K?

You can try posting in Sony thread instead to get some attention and responses. Perhaps a few sample shots may help.
