Official Sony A7 or A7r discussion thread (Season II)


Just played with the 70200 a while ago. Focus was surprisingly quick, seems faster than the 2770 kit lens... at least in good lighting. Colour and bokeh looks good as well. My heart is tingling at the price of abiut 1.5k though

70-200 only 1.5k sgd?? Which store bro?
 

Another good shop is Map Camera at Shinjuku. They sell new and used lenses at a great price. Better than Yodobashi.

Hi bro,

Anyone can kindly advise where has the best deal for a new Sony A7 or A7R body and lenses in Singapore? It seem places like Courts, Harvey Norman, and Best Denki do not carry these cameras. Also Sony current having One + One promotion with $200 cash back. Does this apply to only Sony stores or Island wide? (e.g. can I ask for One + One promotion with Cathay Photo?). Pardon my ignorance here.

Thanks.

Typical places to get is from Click! , SLR Revolution, TK Photo. TK was said to scorn at sony, but started carrying sony recently. All shops at Funan.

Another place to try is MS Color at ang mo kio.

You mean the purchase with purchase promo? Yes.

Yeah last time they said at TK Foto we never carry Sony hehe good news if they do now more choices and hope better deals.

Is the price for the 2nd better than BnS section? :-) see if I could travel to Tokyo will be at Osaka maybe 1st week of july

What i meant is will these shop give better price than Sony store? For example, A7's body price will be $1799 after One + One promotion's $200 cash rebate. Will these shop offer better than $1799? I heard from bro here that he got offered $1710 after cash rebate but he didn't mention the shop name?

I went to Harvey Norman and Tk Foto yesterday at Funan and both said they don't carry Sony A7/R. Is it true for all Harvey Norman, Courts and Best Denki island wide that they don't carry Sony A7/R and the FE lenses?

I have a rx1 and love it and I was looking for a7 or fuji xt1 and asked all the shops for price. Found out all Harvey Normans don't carry a7 but they had a irresistible 20% off for other brands. Price was too good to pass so I picked up a new fuji xt1 kit yesterday.....

I would say yes. The last time I went there the new lenses were like 10-15% cheaper compared to SG. The used ones have 3 different gradings from A (flawless) to C (some signs of wear and tear). Better yet you can still claim for GST at the airport and they usually give some free gift upon purchase. Check out their site at https://www.mapcamera.com/. Do note that it's quite a small shop so you dont have much space to play around the different kits. If you want to test different lenses, Yodobashi is just next door. Their basement is like a museum, full of Leica and vintage cameras. They also offer good discounts to selected accessories although not as complete as Yodobashi's.

Osaka may have its own second hand shop but I have yet to explore.
