Sony A5000/6000 Price

Dear OzBargainers,

Have been looking for a Sony A5000/6000 camera kit. Planning to use it in August but I realized that the price has been very high since last Christmas. I think HarveyNorman was selling it @ $500/700 for those two models. Anyone knows why they are so expensive now? around $700/1000. Comments are welcomed thanks!

Cheers,

  • Only reason I can think of is because of the change in AUD vs. USD. Just before easter I picked up the A6000 from Harvey Norman + 1 lense for about $800 (the price listed in store was more expensive than the website, but they did it anyway. They also didn't have the camera + lense kit, but gave me the two for the same price anyway). I then got the second lense from Teds Cameras for $175?

    EOFY sales should be just around the corner? I also saw a Teds Cameras $50 voucher (on $200+ spend) for completing a survey. Might help?

    • How about the earthquake in Japan? Do you think it raised the price too?

      • No, it's just the USD and lack of incentive for HN to slash prices.

  • Myers has 48 hr 20% off sale
    I see a5000 for $598

    • Thanks but HN is selling it @$488. So I'll say no to Myer.

      • Ok I'm looking for an a6000
        I can't see any deals
        I am tossing up whether the canon m3 with cash back around $500 is worth it
        I'd prefer the sony but if I can't get it sub $700 might just grab a canon and wait for supply to pick up and get a6300 when prices make it worth it for me
        Your thoughts?

        • Agreed. A6000 is overpriced at the moment. Another posibility is Fujifilm X-T10, with CB offer you can easily get a camera body for roughly $500.
