Yup my tot exactly... Thinking of order thru amazon japan which are alot cheaper.. Now worry about the menu whether its can be change or not

how much cheaper?
does it come with more interesting freebies?

Can call Cathay.... they accept Pre-order.... but damn..... the first camera body I know that sell at RRP..... usually expect to less $200 off RRP... :embrass:

Someone free gift ony SD card... no free battery, no free bag, no free Sony PS4... :bsmilie:

Leica Ms are sold at full list price, no discount. Sony is learning from Leica!

If order from amazon japan, with delivery charges, should be <1750 with today exchange rate. But if menu cannot change, then no point..

Did they say if the 35mm is available as well ?

As of now they just received the pricing for the body. Perhaps the kit price as well which I am not interested hence I didn't ask.

They don't know yet if 35mm will be released together with the body or not.

Anyone got the confirmation invite for Saturday 16 Nov 2013 Preview from Sony yet ?:think::dunno:

I just got it. 11.30am slot on sat at TCC Circular Road.

Mh... What's the point of preordering at RRP at Sony stores if they will through in only a Class 10 card?

cos if you don't preorder, the initial stocks may be snapped up and don't know when next batch will come?

Domestic models in Japanese menu. It cannot be changed. You have to ask for international model. I received an email from the HKG dealer whom I bought my RX100 last year. They will have stock by next week.

Thanks. I will try my luck in HK since I am going there anyway. Hope can get a better deal.

Not sure about Sony.
For Nikon demo set in Japan, I have no problem changing the Language.

Thanks bro. Seems like adapting is the way to go first. Quite a waste for Sony. The chance to bundle sell an additional one thousand bucks lens.

Will the HK models feature only Chinese menus or can they be changed to English?

 

[sdchew]

I think I'm going to give up my idea of getting the A7 in HK tomorrow. The guys at the Sony Store told me there might be a few pieces for walk in. But they are totally sold out on the 35 mm Zeiss and the LA-EA4. Either one would have sealed the deal for me. No point getting the body and staring at it right?

 

[ricohflex]

Pray tell what you find wrong with the picture? not sharp enough, CA, Viginetting, Distortion?

It is ordinary. After all the puffing statements by [Cosina-made-under-Zeiss-license], this is the best they can do? Underwhelming.

Stupid amazon... In the afternoon, they advertised their a7 body at 14980yen. I saw and ordered it immediately and now they sent me an email to tell me that the order has been cancelled due to wrong pricing.. How can they cancel just like that..

 

[ricleo]

Hahahhaa how can the camera body cost 14980 yen. That wld be 186 sing. Obviously a pricing error.
