just when the sony cashback is over
I requested price match on sony n got em for $2348 + 5% cashrewards so comes down to $2230. Waiting to see if cashrewards will honor them, their website doesn't say anything about excluding any items so hopefully they will.
Edit : cashback confirmed
I hope you are able to get them to cancel and repurchase, because Sony cash back starts again today!

Price match at Sony and use Shopback for extra rebate:
https://store.sony.com.au/interchangeablelenscamera-a7/ILCE7…much thanks u saved me a lot
Dangggg i should sell mine and rebuy later..
Damn, that was a great price. Thinking to switch from Nikon D610 to Nikon Z6 or Sony A7 mark3 …
A7iii if you want to use 3rd party lens. So many great lens to choose from
Yes 100%
Most Tamron and Sigma glass perform flawlessly on Sony E mount.
With an adapter? I thought A mount cameras were the best for accepting a variety of lens
@ Flyerone No need to go back in time :-) The price is right now with the Sony cash back https://www.digidirect.com.au/cameras/mirrorless-cameras/son….
Good price during covid. If you need now get it.
I got mine from Sony Australia eBay store for $2299 back in May this year. It was marked as "damaged box". They oversold it and sent me a new one - I did have to wait for a few weeks for it, which was fine. Worth checking the Sony eBay store from time to time.
I'd honestly wait for a better deal if you don't need it now. Still chilling with my a6500, would love to upgrade but maybe later.
i got mine back in oct last year for $2200 camera warehouse…
Don't buy online from Digidirect, price match with Sony and buy from them directly. Most likely Digidirect don't have it in stock even though it shows in stock. They lie and cheat.
Yup I would recommend that too
Any chance price is going to go down in the near future? especially for secondhands
Great price for the a7iii then another $239874754378 for some nice G Master lenses :)
Or buy Tamron lenses, better and affordable.
I wouldn't say the Tamron lenses are better than the G Master lenses, but they are certainly more affordable.
Yes, they are better as well. Take a look at the 17-28mm F2.8, 28-70 and 70-180. They are as sharp and sharper than their G master equivalent for less alot less than G Master.
@RimofLeo: Sorry, should have been clearer.
When you said sharpness isn't the only feature you want in a lens, what other features are you after?
@wittyusername: I think bokeh can be another important indicator to evaluate a lens.
Some lenses even specially designed for better bokeh such as Nikon 150mm f2 DC or Nikon 135mm f2 DC, or Sony 100mm f2.8 STF.
@wittyusername: Autofocus (speed/accuracy/noise) has traditionally been an area where third party lenses may be weaker. Tamron/Sigma/Tokina et al have to find a way for their lenses to communicate with the camera bodies of several manufacturers, and there’s no incentive for the body manufacturers to help. Not saying it’s necessarily a problem (not all OEM lenses are that great) but that’s what I’d want to check out, in addition to image quality (and all the other stuff to factor in: warranty, IS performance, weather sealing, weight, feel, filter compatibility and so forth).
Lol it do be like that ʘ‿ʘ
What are y'all taking photos of with your $2,000 cameras?
not only photos but 4k video and 1080p 120fps. Pretty much paying for that and the lightness of mirrorless camera to travel around. This camera is an absolute all rounder.
Kitchen and ceiling
Using this for my Onlyfans account.
But only 1024x576 (16:9 576P), and no audio from the camera.

I read this really interesting article recently. As a avid SLR fan until 2018 there are no real surprises in the article but it's definitely confirmation of a once huge and innovative industry on the wane. The reality is that some smart phones can achieve a similar photo in most instances now. Arguably a smart phone can capture better photos because you have it with you and ready to shoot almost 100% of the time. That's why I got rid of my SLR. With the birth of baby no.1 it wasn't there when I needed it.

If you are just taking snapshot in good light with standard angle of view and you are not editing the photos substantially or printing them at large sizes then a phone is good enough. If scenarios involving low light, action, telephoto, shallow depth of field, significant editing or large prints, then a dedicated camera with a fast lens is much better.
There is also the fun factor - for me taking photos with a phone is just not at all as satisfying as with a nice dedicated camera. I only use it for snapshots when I don't have my camera on me.Yep, you're 100% right. My decision to not use my camera has mainly been driven by the arrival of kids. Most of my photography is now of them rather than of places. With kids, having the camera to hand is more important than the quality of the camera most of the time.
I saw $2160 price on digidirect in March 2020. Because they generally run 20% off and the RRP then was $2700, so came down to $2160. Better to wait for some time for better price.
Thanks for that. Do they run 20% off on ebay store or website ?
on website
Any camera recommendations for vlogging/ youtube videos? Not an expert with camera, beginner here.
Check out Canon M50
There's the Sony zv1 blogging camera
Great camera! Been using the Tamron 28-75mm & Tamron 17-28mm along with Sony 70-200mm f4 and works flawlessly! Just make sure you update the firmware on the Tamrons.
One thing I dislike though is how easy these Sony sensors attract dust and find out on the pc haha.
Will definitely have to clean yours more due to mirrorless.
love me a sonay
