Price for Sony A77 or A65 in Singapore and the best price to buy it

[ageha]

Sony has a tourist warranty NOT international warranty. And it only works in countries of the region you purchased (i.e, if you buy from japan or us, the tourism warranty is voided in singapore)

http://www.sony.com.au/support/resources/en_AU/html/Warranty/Sony_Tourist_Limited_Warranty.html

1) You have to purchase the product from an official retailer in the country

2) Request for the tourism limited warranty (must show passport)

3) Get it stamped and viola.


So what's the catch? The warranty only lasts for 1 yr as compared to the 1yr + 6 months if you purchase locally.

That is why i advise you guys to buy sony lenses from malaysia.. its much cheaper there

Not completely true. Overseas models come with an international warranty: http://www.sony.jp/products/overseas/contents/index.html

Isn't it 1yr + 3 months locally?

the +6 months should be for malaysia then . Bought my stuffs from too many sources until i cant keep track haha.

Malaysia not yet release A77 right?

I think Singapore too small. Sony don't really focus on our tiny sunny island.

Out of curiosity, I called sony and asked them, the CSO said maybe end of the year than SG will release. i think, maybe due to the issues surrounding A77.

Anyway, already booked ticket to taiwan this coming Nov for holiday. If its cheaper, able to change language to english and cover international warranty. No brainer, just gonna get from there ^^

Any shops to recommend ? ...headed there myself this Nov ...by how much is cheaper ?

Preordered A65 at JB Plaza Pelangi instead, will get RM300 voucher + 16GB memory card, and another 5% discount.

I checked both HK and TW website. If you're buying just the body alone, HK Sony is cheaper as stated on their web after I convert to sing dollars.

If you're getting the 16-50f2.8 kit, TW Sony is cheaper by 50-60 sing dollars. Weird if you ask me.

I'm not sure which shop to go. To be safe, maybe go to TW Sony official store and buy and request for the tourist limited warranty(TLW).

Best scenario is to buy in sg. But sony sg no news :/

When nex5n was available in almost every other countries, sony sgp and retail shops also have no idea when sgp will get it and was told late oct.

However sony sgp then suddenly updates its website 2nd week of sep and my retail shop then called me to inform it will be in the shop 2days later.

Lets just keep looking at sony sgp website for any updates then. I hope the same happens for a77 too.

Anyway we have waited for 4 yrs, so it doesnt matter to wait for another 1-2 weeks right?

With new products, its better to get it with local warranty.

I think so. SAR posted that Thailand is having a historical flood right now. They can't ship the stocks ATM.

Do you mean RM2849.05 = A65 Body + RM300 Voucher + 16GB memory card?
