QANTASSTAFF

My first deal post so let me know if I've done anything wrong.

I think this may be a pricing error as the body and 28-70 kit lens is the same price.

The a7iii body went as low as $2000 from memory and the 24-105 went as low as 1500. So if my math is right this particular kit is the cheapest by approx $730.

The cash portion of the purchase also earns you 5541 PTS.

I'm not sure if the Qantasstaff code works (from the Sony WH-1000XM3 post), but if it does it could savd you another 10%.

    Do you reckon they'll ask for proof that you're staff if you use the code?

    • dockersrule on 11/08/2019 - 18:28

      Without the code this deal is 2000 points + $2770.29. Is it worth going for this as it might be less likely they cancel over those who use the code that aren't actually staff?

  • tightm8 on 11/08/2019 - 18:22

    Cracking deal, but also remember a newer model came out, so take that into account.

    Still an amazing device and great piece of glass. You're virtually getting the glass for free with this deal.

      The new one was an A7R IV; different beast. 61MP and a whole different feature-set.

      • edfoo on 11/08/2019 - 19:51
        +1

        I'm sure there will be A7 IV later on, since A7 III has been selling very well.

        • fastnbulbous on 11/08/2019 - 22:47

          They need to release the A7S III first!

          • edfoo on 11/08/2019 - 22:49

            @fastnbulbous: Yeah, action/sport photographers are looking forward to that.

  • dockersrule on 11/08/2019 - 18:24

    Much of an upgrade over A6500 or A6400?

    • Austere on 11/08/2019 - 18:25
      +1

      Jumping on also would like to know. The A6400 is $1350 vs this for $2550 w “$1600” Lens

      • tightm8 on 11/08/2019 - 18:46

        If you're a regular shooter, not needed, go spend it on a lens.

        If you're a pro or use it a lot, then yes.

        • dockersrule on 11/08/2019 - 18:54

          At $2567 though I could sell the lot or body and lens separately and then put the profit proceeds towards the A6400.

    For those thinking of buying and selling, have you thought how many OzBs have the same idea, and how the market could be flooded with the obvious impact on sale price!

    • dockersrule on 11/08/2019 - 19:22
      -4

      Even selling at $3000 would be a good buy for non OzBs and a tidy profit for OzBs.

      • dockersrule on 11/08/2019 - 19:27

        Still umming and aarring about buying…. Really don't need it, rather get the A6400 with real time tracking. Or the Olympus E-M1 Mk II

      • DSOTM on 11/08/2019 - 19:30
        +2

        Remember you could end up paying $420 in eBay/PayPal fees from that $3K. Tech can be easy to buy; hard to sell.

        • akula on 11/08/2019 - 19:41

          Isn't there always some sort of offer from ebay like…10 free listing fee & final value etc ?or monthly free quota of 10 listings or something like that ?

        • dockersrule on 11/08/2019 - 19:44

          Yeah… just did a fee calculation on https://www.ebayfeescalculator.com/australia-ebay-calculator…

          Ebay fees are pretty steep. Question is, is the A7 III overkill for family/kids, general, travel photography over the A6400? Considering that it doesn't do real time tracking like the A6400?

          I could keep the body, sell the lens and get a cheaper prime.

        • justtoreply on 11/08/2019 - 22:58

          List it on gumtree then take the transfer to ebay offer. Free final value fee max 2 items per month IIRC

      I had to resubmit payment everytime i click on pay. the website is pretty crap. I had to resubmit payment at least 4 times before the order went through. First time it was just clicking pay. Next was after I entered my delivery address. ANother time after I entered CC details. And then one last time when all info has been saved. if you have more than 2000 qantas points, be aware that everytime this happens they will default to use all your points so ensure you drag it all the way back down to 2000 and resubmit payment.

    • EnergicAU on 11/08/2019 - 20:08

      I think part of the deal is that 2000pts and cash works out way better than any more points equivalent

    I paid $2,546.17 by using 5092 pts (you will earn 5092 back from the purchase) + 10% staff discount coupon.

    • R3XNebular on 11/08/2019 - 23:59

      Not a good trade, those 187000 points were better off being used for flights business class upgrades etc.
      Trust me… I regret buying a Dyson V10 with my points (Blame the wife). Point per dollar ratio is better with flights.

    • barozgain on 12/08/2019 - 00:01

      you know that 187k points can get you a return flight to London? + another one way trip to Washington?

      https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/do/dyns/PointsRedeemed check this link to know how many points to redeem classic rewards

      Sorry to disappoint but would have been way CHEAPER to pay money vs using qantas points for this purchase

    • dockersrule on 12/08/2019 - 00:03

      Seems like a massive waste of points….. I used 230k points for a Perth - Gold coast return trip for 5 people…

      • barozgain on 12/08/2019 - 00:06

        ohh wow why did you end up paying that much points?
        it's 28,800 points per return flight pp

        so x5= 144k points vs the 230k you paid?

        • dockersrule on 12/08/2019 - 00:11

    • frbargain on 12/08/2019 - 08:22
      +1

      It's a not a bad use of points imo. Business class upgrades are worth more if you actually value that.

      And one thing that is often overlooked with points is that you still end up paying a lot in taxes which is not covered by points.

    • DSOTM on 12/08/2019 - 08:56

      Hopefully you get your points back. Just 5,000 points more and you'd have enough for a return class flight on the A380 to Los Angeles worth around $12,000. Or a Premium return and 40K points left over.

  • Squeezy on 11/08/2019 - 23:56

    Great value if it happens but im sure it has been incorrectly promoted as a 24-105 lens rather than the 28-70 kit lens which is more what the price reflects. Good luck to all…

    The QANTASSTAFF code seems to not be working anymore- could possibly be due to the massive increase in 'staff' purchases of cameras and headphones over the weekend…

  • graceyym on 12/08/2019 - 09:03

    Unfortunately companies put t&c to cover pricing errors particulary on line as this obviously is (was). They wont sit back and literally lose $1k+ per item (potentially 100s) just to keep the punter satisfied.

  • graceyym on 12/08/2019 - 09:20

    I'm positive that this is an error, and they meant to list the standard 24-70 kit lens (especially since they now have that bundle listed for the same price they previously had the 24-105 bundle).

    Whether or not they honour the sales is another matter… If they do,this is one of the bargains of the year. I got the camera body with 24-105mm for $3200 a few months ago, and that was basically the staff price at Sony Kiosk.

      they meant to list the standard 24-70 kit lens (especially since they now have that bundle listed for the same price they previously had the 24-105 bundle).

      They have the 28-70 from the beginning of the sale and it is not the same price.

      The 28-70 (not 24-70) kit was up the whole time and the price is/was slightly different. I wouldn't be surprised if this is pulled but I'm not convinced that's the reason they screwed it up.

  • cbrendan on 12/08/2019 - 12:12

    Qantas have pulled the A7iii +24-105/4 listing, now having only the A7iii +28-70 listing up (which is marked out of stock).

    But the image on the 28-70 listing is the 24-105 lens.

    https://www.qantasstore.com.au/p/sony-ilce7m3kb-a7-iii-35mm-…

    • omgitzrick on 12/08/2019 - 12:28

      Quite weird. At least the description is correct, although it makes no mention of the lens at all. The 24-105 bundle page had multiple photos showing the 24-105, and had the description for the lens as well. I wonder if they're shuffling info on the page to make it look more like a mistake? Probably getting into tinfoil hat territory…

      • cbrendan on 12/08/2019 - 12:31
        +2

        Yeah. The website is a bit of a shambles.

        The A7iii + 28-70 listing makes reference to the kit lens being included in the title. But then has the 24-105 in the single picture available, and makes no reference to the kit lens in the description (other than the model id right at the bottom - ILCE7M3KB which is the kit lens bundle code).

        The A7iii + 24-105 listing made reference to the 24-105 lens being included in the title. Then had a picture of the camera with the 24-105 lens, but also a picture of the camera with 85/1.4 lens, but at least made reference to the 24-105 lens and all its specs and details in the description.
