Price Mistake? Sony a7R Full-Frame Interchangeable Digital Lens Mirrorless Camera, Normally $1,898, Now $198 Shipped From Amazon!

It says backordered, no chance of being honoured.

Got one. Plus taxes total $211

Body only

Ordered…they will clearly cancel it though

Got email from Amazon for promotional credit after ordering.

“Visit http://www.shutterfly.com/amazon to redeem your free 8×8 photo book using the above code.”

Won’t be honored but still ordered it. Thanks!

It says body only. Is this the actual camera?

Ordered! Worked so far

What does body only mean?

Amazon sells it for $198!!

It’s backorder anyways…

In for one. Let’s see what happens.

They will cancel it. But they will Prob give a gift card as compensation. So why not?

Ordered 2. You can sell them back to Amazon for around 800$ each

In for one!
I got a promotional code for free 8×8 photo book from shutterfly after placing my order.

Bought one. Hope to resell it. No idea what I’d do with it otherwise!

Thank you Dan! Where can I get the cheapest Lense for this?

Its no price mistake its a body replacement only its not the camera
the mistake is on the ones that got sucked in to ordering it.

Plus get a free sutyerfly 8×8 photo book code with your purchase

Someone obviously forgot to add an additional 0…. Ordered one anyways 🙂

Amazon typically cancels price mistake orders

@ben:
Um, no.
It’s a $1,900 camera, the lenses for it are just sold separately.

Got one with overnight shipping. Lets see…

Body only. Then you still need to pay over 1,000 for the lens, plus the basic accessories like a battery charger. What good is a $200 camera without the lens?

Ordered one. How long does it take for them to cancel?

@ben:

Why are all the other sellers selling for….. ?
Body only means without accessories.

Price back to normal

@ben: I think body only means no lenses

Thanks Dan!
Since this is “Body Only” what else do I need to buy? What else do I want to buy?

“We’ll automatically apply a $1 eBooks, digital music and videos credit to your account _____________when this order ships__________. Offer redemption requires customers to be in the U.S.”

If they cancel it, no $1 bonus. But we’ll see.

thanks dan. just ordered one. lets see what happens… either way a free photobook!

214$ after tax …. Now we wait

Ordered. Let’s see if Amazon honors it or not

Dan, can you please confirm that it’s not just a part of the camera, like a few commentators suggested…

@Chaim, good idea on the one-day shipping.

I’m just wondering on Sony.com it’s 199 Instead of 2000

Dan, for us novices, can you highlight some of the differences between full-frame and DSLR cameras? Thanks for this…and how do you find these deals?!

what does back order mean?

@Chaim:

I tried that at first too. It still said estimated delivery date of 2-4 weeks. Thinking of ordering another with that shipping, and if it doesn’t come the next day, tell amazon to compensate me for their failure (they left the option open when it’s backstocked, and it costs $5).

Ordered 2. Hopefully it will work

Dead

@ben – not likely… Though I have always thought that manufacturing a price-mistake-type moment in a product lifecycle would be an innovative and potentially profitable strategy.

I got the 3 year warranty attached- assume they will refund the warranty if they refund the camera?

@jay
See Comment #21

Same price on Sony.com

@ben: LOL, SLRs without a lens combo are called body only.its the real camera.

@ethan: good question. should i cancel order?

Amazon will buy it back from you for $833!

Dan, why is it sam priice on sony.com?

@ji:

It’s 99% a price mistake.

Most likely Sony had the price mistake and Amazon’s algorithm tries to beat competing prices, setting up the price mistake on both sites.

We’ll see if either site honors it.

A body only means it’s the camera itself. You still need to purchase a lens. A full frame is one type of DSLR camera.

@Rachelle T.:
You don’t need to spend anywhere near that, eg,
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L9J3KKS/?tag=cl03f-20

@Refuafan: first get the camera but the cheapest autofocus lens is the SONY 28 F2 and its about 448 dollars

Sony.com has the same pricing for it… Not sure if it’s a mistake but best buy has the a7 for $999
http://store.sony.com/a7r-full-frame-mirrorless-camera-zid27-ILCE7R/B/cat-27-catid-all-alpha-interchangeable

Does amazon have history shipping price errors?
What can we expect?

Anyone try price matching this to Best Buy or any other stores where it’s in stock?

@Doc: do you need autofocus?

this is model A7R, the one that is selling for over 1000 is a different model and asin number

@Eugene:
Did you read the full post?

@Ed:
Occasionally.
Sometimes they cancel and offer compensation, sometimes not.

@Anonymous:
That may be the way to go…

@Not a Camera Guy: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1126139-REG/sony_sel28f20_fe_28mm_f_2_lens.html

What are the chances of Sony honoring this price?

They caught on. it went back to the regular price

Does the shutter book come with free shipping ?

@jay: refresh it….it might go back that’s what happened to me

And it’s gone!

@ben: The body is the camera without the lens. Trust me. If people get it at that price, it’s well worth it.

Just died. Cannot add any to cart.

Looks like its dead…

@david: No.

Still available from Sony.

amazon went back, sony same price

Just bought !
Thank you!

I just try to buy one more and it’s back to $1,898.00

They adjusted the price already, all orders will be canceled,😢(even though I ordered 2, just in case it will not be canceled,)😁😁

@Yitzyk: arent you a CSR for a large camera company? what would they do!!

@Dan:

I just called best buy in order to try and get a price match for the 3 I have on order. They said they will not price match from Sony.com and that all orders that went through from Sony will be cancelled within the next few hours.

The agent from best buy also noted that they have received over 85 calls in the last hour trying to do the same thing…. Dansdeals syndrome:)

What is Sony’s returns policy

At first when I click on Dan’s Link it showed me the discounted price but not just did not allow me to add it to my cart, then it went back to Normal price. Good job to the people who managed to get the price within a half hour of Dan listing it.

Regards from best buy.
As soon as the phone was answered the operator asks
“are you calling for the price match from amazon and sony?”
I was like yeah.. she says they have been notified that it’s a mistake.

Ordered 2.. Highly doubt they will honor this, the loss would be devastating lol

sale has been on for hours and less than a half hour after Dan posting it the price goes back up…

Just bought one on Sony

just called BB.

Rep picked up and was like:

Sony Camera?

DARN!!!

being the amazon site now says 4 left in stock at the normal price, i imagine our orders will be canceled shortly.

@leah: AMEX

Bought one from sony…lets see what happens

@ben: Um, no. Body only means the camera is being sold without the lenses. This is a professional camera, and a good one at that.

ordered 1… now how can I sell it back to Amazon?

thank you Dan.

Full frame denotes the size of the sensor (digital “film”) the chiddush is that they get a full frame sensor into such a small body. DSLR are SD with full frame or APC size sensor. Full frame is considered superior in quality. Camera of this quality are often sold with out a lens, so this deal is Body Only. You do need a lens and some simple accessories but it’s a fantastic deal. I ordered from Sony. Will see if it shows up.

Thank you ordered

I got one. Is this usable without buying any additional accessories?
What’s the best way to sell it?

Hello,

I ordered with 2 day shipping. When the order was placed it showed the shipping date on about June 23. For those who ordered overnight shipping what shipping date did you get. Is it possible to change to overnight?

One lesson learned:
Best buy is pathetic. Nobody ever calls them, so when they suddenly get a few calls they know they’re all on the same subject

Got one from Sony, though it said “Backordered”. By definition it means:a retailer’s order for a product that is temporarily out of stock with the supplier.It really means: You will NEVER see it!

Thanks Dan ordered 1

Why isn’t sony pulling it yet? Not that I want them to:) just wondering

ordered 1 from sony!

Ordered 3 from Sony, let’s see if this works out! I’d take a gift card, but I’d rather make the $1000 profit on each one haha

Is the free photo book only from Amazon?

If I change my order to 1 business day will it cancel the order?

@Ji, maybe they like the free publicity.

Which is easier to get cancelled Amazon or Sony?

I have the Nikon 5200. ANY chance the lenses are compatible??

if you don’t need your shuttrfly code post it here

From sony’s website:

“In the unlikely event that a price stated on a Sony Web site or direct sales materials are incorrect, then the following applies: If a Product’s correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower price and ship you the Product. If a Product’s correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. We reserve the right to correct the balance of your Gift Card if we believe a clerical, billing or accounting error occurred. Sony shall not be liable for any billing errors unless you advise us of such billing error within sixty (60) days of its transaction date. Sony further accepts the Sony Gift Card and up to 10 Gift Cards can be used for payment.”

Who thinks they’ll pull a Walmart and send us like a $500 gift card?

Ordered a 100;)

Just bought it from Sony.

does that mean it will be honored?

Is this still going or is it dead?

@BB either way it is not shipping out for 2-3 weeks so if u do over nigjt once it ships out you will get next day so it’s really the same thing

Steve ur the kinda guy who ruins it for everyone

Ordered!
Thanks Dan!

hi dan, would it work if i call my credit card to get the price protection benefit?

hi dan, would it work if i call my credit card to get the price protection benefit?

ordered thanks i live in uk so hopefully worth the hassle

@theman: I winked for a reason:)

I just saw a external sony ad on a website stating this exact model for 1899.99 so they probably just forgot the 8 in the pricing procedure…

@theman and your’re kind of guy who believes Steve and gets pissed off from his nonsense. Just relax.

i also live in uk – not allowing shipping to the uk from the sony website – i suppose you must use amazon

I ordered one I hope they don’t cancel it<

Thanx Dan!

is it gonna be shipped

@ben: used a usa address

just spoke to some1 @ sony didnt seem at all they they are going to honor this.

i called sony…they wont honor

Just received my warranty confirmation from SquareTrade. good sign or irrelevant?

PS is 3 comments in an hour too many to warrant (no pun intended) a slow down?

Just ordered one, i think this is the first time i successfully ordered a price mistake post. based on the comments it looks like it will prob get cancelled but there’s a still a 1 percent chance they’ll honor it woohooo thanks dan!!

stop callimg them!

In the unlikely event that this does go through, there are lens adapters ($20-$30) that can fit Canon or Nikon lenses onto the Sony. Just a tip for those of us who already have a SLR camera…

I don’t see how Sony can cancel it, if you read their terms on post 103 above???

dan hows the autofocus compared to a canon 7d

and now store.sony.com is down

dead

@ari:

Stop calling ! #noob

@doc shaps: DO NOT CALL SONY!
If you don’t have what to do take Tylenol or advil

Thanks

Sonny still on when paying via paypal

Sony link dead

any news on if they will honor

Dan, the link to the Sony website above now shows…the Sony Visa Card. Oh, the irony!

i dont know whats going on at sony but here is another 2 mistakes (or it seems so)

@R thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. In other words, overnighting it doesn’t make it more likely to get it since you have to wait the 2-3 weeks anyway, which is ample time for the order to be canceled (hope not).
Got it.
Thanx

@israel:Bc it mentions in the event of a price mistake, they will contact us. That could mean they will give us an option of paying full price or cancelling.

http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=52358.msg1159957#msg1159957

Sony just sent me an email cancelling my order
I orderd 5

For those asking. this is a high end camera. this kind of camera is almost always sold in 2 forms body only or body with a lens (usually a “kit lens”) the reason why its sold body only is due to the fact that most people looking to purchase this type of camera already have at least one lens. that can be used with the camera. Most will have even more.
As or full frame vs cropped. Full frame is the digital equivalent of a 35mm film “frame” or “negative”. Cropped frame is usually some derivation of .5x to .4x smaller than a full frame sensor.
Mirrorless vs DLSR means that it has a SLR (single LENS reflex) form factor but lacks a mirror so all the light travels to the sensor and the eye piece looks through the sensor and not a mirror. That means the camera is lighter and some say better. That is up for debate. check your local forum flame war for better understanding.
As such this Sony has a full frame and basically an amazing peice of tech.
Also rule of thumb: spend money on the lens and not the camera. Modern cameras are like computers in that they become obsolete rather fast. Lens’s are pieces of art and tech that almost never go bad.

My order was just cancelled by Sony.

@Anonymous:

Nope, that must be a different Yitzyk.

Me2!

@yanky. Amazing you publicize what an ass you are. 5? Really?

Mine 2!

We still rock!!

@why
Watch your language!!!
I got this long be4 Dan posted
And I didn’t want you to have any!
Hope you have a great day sweethart!

I just received a cancalation email…. :-((

@anonymous: Because Dan’s readers have a strange tendancy to call company’s & notify them of their mistakes!!! Thanks @Deal ! Thanks @Love Dan !

Just got on email They cancel my order

Did anyone who got the cancellation email see if their credit card was charged initially? I see a pending charge on my CC and have not yet got a cancellation notification.

did Amazon cancel?

i just got a confirmation email.. heres hoping!

I just got a cancelation email from Sony

@intelligentblonde: from Amazon or Sony

And their comes the cancelation flood… can we fight Sony?

“Congratulations Martin! You are one of the first 100 purchasers for whom we will be honoring our price mistake in good faith. Please wait patiently as our back order is approximately 1 month.

Regards,

Cameron
Sony Customer Rep.”

Got a cancellation email from sony, but the email didn’t offer any explanation or any other info at all, it just said “your order is cancelled”..dan, any chance they will offer something?

June Fools!

I ordered from sony.com , just got an e-mail that order was cancelled.

@Sam:

Yes, Sam, just hack into their computers and release all their CEO’s emails…and blame it on North Korea

What do you guys have to gain by calling BestBuy? It’s obviously a price mistake. BestBuy would have gone to Sony to ask them about the price, and hence cancelled orders.

Price match means a few dollars difference, not $1,000 different. Even call center employees are smart enough to know that!

I also got cancellation from Sony

@Avi:

Sony

@martin:

good for u!

You’ve got great taste!

We’re writing to confirm your recent order.

Be on the lookout for future Status Update emails to come.

Also received a order number..Hope it goes through

I ordered one at 1040 and did not yet receive a cancellation email. Maybe they won’t cancel it?? 🙂 anyone else not a cancellation email yet?@intelligentblonde:

@martin: what time did u place ur order?

anyone not using your Shutterfly code. Please share.

@intelligentblonde:

I was joking!!! hence the “june fools!”

@Aliza k:

nope. not yet. i received a confirmation email and a order number.. and i see a pending charge on my card.. i guess we have to wait and see

I think the best you can hope for is a compensation from Amazon. Gonna get nothing from Sony.

for those who have received cancellation from Sony, when did you place your orders?

Yup I am a bit of an idiot, I think it is really funny to write dumb things online.

I ordered mine at 10:15 and I didn’t get a cancellation
yet, still hoping.

I bought it on Amazon right away and received a confirmation and complementary code. No cancellation from Amazon yet.

@yanky:
well Yanky! I think you’re teency!

9.08

No cancellation yet from Amazon or Sony… waiting to see if they just haven’t caught up on all the emails yet

I ordered 15 pieces from Sony and far no concatenation eamil aand I see a pending charge on my card….

I ordered at 1025 am from Sony, got a confirm and no cancellation yet

My son ordered two cameras from Sony and received cancellation notices for the pair. Was worth an attempt. Thanks for posting.

I have order two, now in sony website, the order’s status is backordered，and I also get the confirmation email as following：
You’ve got great taste!

We’re writing to confirm your recent order.

Be on the lookout for future Status Update emails to come.

@Hopeful:
15? Shmuck…

I ordered around 10 30 and still didn’t get a cancelation . what doors this mean?

1040 for me still nothing

Got two from Amazon, just got an email that it will be delivered on time.

@doc shaps: that you’ll get one soon

I ordered mine at 10 o’clock, I still didn’t get a confirmation email or cancellation email. Will sony give a gift card?

I ordered around 10ish, my card is charged and no cancelation yet. although I don’t have any hope that it will ship.

For someone who has no lens, is it worth reselling this online? How much does a lens cost? Any recommendations?

@Yoni I think you should be worried on those things once you receive the camera.

I placed 2 separate orders. I received confirmation emails for each order; I then, about 2 hrs later, received ONE cancellation email.
Went back and checked “order status”, and only one of the orders (the second order) had status “Cancelled”. The first order still says “Backordered”.
Any shot that it will survive?

@why even try, before you call someone a schmuck maybe you should check that you’ve got the right person.

Can anyone explain , if this was a “mistake” why both Amazon and Sony had this low price “mistake”? Do they match ea other?
Why did Amazon have it this low in the first place? And is Amazon honoring the orders?

I ordered on amazon @ 8:40. Got a confirmation email with complimentary shutterfly code. So far did not receive any cancelations. How about yo’all who ordered from amazon?

Amazon was selling and shipping, but Sony was listed as the seller. Same mistake on sony’s part filtered through to their amazon storefront.

I ordered on sony. Got a confirmation email. So far did not receive any cancelations.

@martin:

yup. im that gullible.
still hoping tho!

every stop asking so many questions and let it play out!

nah go crazy who cares i want that camera so badly

haha ok i guess ur right…..by the way u think its gonna happen from amazon?

@ben: You obviously didn’t research well. The body by itself is that expensive google it. Great deal if they honor it for those “smart enough to buy it”

I got an e-mail canceling my order and i called up Sony and they said there was a order from the supervisor to cancel all orders of the camera.

Does anybody know how I can still get this deal? Can somebody please send me a link?

Ordered from amazon…still no cancellation…

How has amazon been with price mistakes, they likely won’t honor it especially because this will cost them probably 6 figures.

Let’s see how this goes… we won’t need those who crazy expensive photographers…Everyone will do it themselves loll

U are passed the time. Toast before the party. Grill in the sunlight.

If everyone would only purchase 1,we would have more a chance to receive it,
If not this stupid people who abuse, and order 15 20 PC.

martin when did you order and what number of the 100 were you

@jil:
Sure. Amazon is selling time machines. With a price mistake, no less!

Wanna still make money fr this deal?
Short Amazon stock (Symbol AMZN).
;-}

Dan, You’re a low-life.

Any updates on amazon?

anybodys shipping

Mine still didn’t cancel and i for an order number… I’m praying

@eli:
Hahahaha! Love that one! We crazy expensive photographers are HOPING this deal goes through so everyone can do it themselves… and finally see the light. That is, that it’s the person behind the camera that creates the beautiful images, not the tool they use. Just like you don’t compliment a chef with his food because he has nice pots ; )

@R.P.: keep dreaming

I just recieved another confirmation email from amazon. Looks like they will honor it after all. Now what am i gonna do with it?

The camera is now a #1 Best Seller on Amazon! I think we helped. Way to go, guys!! 😀

@ay:

Please read through the posts before asking (you can even search his name to just look for his comments). Just a few posts down from there, he states that he was joking……

(Ordered this morning on Amazon at 8:50, haven’t gotten a cancellation email. Got the warranty notice, going to call to tell them the item was backstocked to avoid it starting early and in case they cancel the order)

I ordered them on the Sony site at 9.24 am then another at 9.30. Paid Paypal the first time and Amex the second, with a 3 year warranty. Both payments have gone through and I received confirmation emails each time. 1.30 am next day and no cancellation email.

Sony may be on shaky ground here, as the item was advertised as a sale. The degree of the sale is essentially irrelevant, considering the crazy deals that happen on Black Friday. Everyone who gets cancelled should take Sony to task and insist on delivery. This deal was further reinforced by Amazon independently offering the same price range, indicating to buyers it was not an error. One site maybe an error. Two unconnected vendors misleading the public – no error, regardless of how Amazon generates it prices.

Where are those lawyers when you need one.

Mine got cancelled by amazon. Not by Sony though. Weird

@Debbie Maybe you should have thought of that before purchasing it?

thanks Dan for wasting everyone’s time

@Debbie: sell it duh

live again!

I ordered 2 yesterday. Got confirmation. Now I received an email that they will not honor the price as it was a mistake.

Is there any way to argue that I got confirmation and that they must honor it? Or do they have the right to cancel it?

Much appreciated!

Just got mail from Amazon saying they are canceling my order due to tbe pricing error.

I ordered one from sony.com. It was backordered. No harm to try.

It was fun while it lasted. Now everyone is going to complain why they didn’t get it, but STOP and think for a second we all know it was a mistake so just enjoy the fact that sometimes the company does honor it rather then kvetching when they don’t. Have s great morning;)

@Debbie I’ll gladly take it from u

I ordered within the first hour this deal came out from Amazon, just got an email cancellation for the order. Maybe if I had chosen the next day delivery it would have gone out before they could cancel it?

Amazon just canceled my order
@Debbie I can use it

@Debbie: I’ll take it off your hands if you don’t want it! Been in the market for one of these and missed out.

Received cancelation email from amazon 🙁

Amazon sent me an email that they will not be honoring my order. I called and spoke to a supervisor who only offered me a measly $10 promotional certificate for my troubles.

Good morning all…

My order has not been canceled yet!

@R.P.: Lolll you are right! The work some of you do is unbelievable!

Dan, your the man! I read your “terms and conditions ” regarding price mistakes… I very much appreciate all the great work you do for us!! As you say, sometimes we win sometimes we lose! Either way, you did yours just to let us know- Amazon or sony….that’s not your company so you don’t make the rules!!! Once again Dan, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! Please ingone any negative comments and much Hatzlacha!

still quiet from sony

canceled from amazon, nothing yet from sony ba’h

Still no cancellation on either order from Sony.

Thanks @Dan for the amazing find.

I placed an order on Amazon for 2 immediately and it did not say backordered.

Now I log into my account and its gone. no history of my order, like it was quietly pulled.

Anyone else still showing the order in their history?

@Check your amazon order status
Same. Checked my Amazon account and I don’t see the camera I ordered..just the Square Trade protection plan! What good is a protection plan at this point?!

Still no cancellation from Sony.

When I click on my order with Sony thru my email I just can’t find my order there
Are you able to see your order online with Sony??

Sony is not honoring the price. They are cancelling the order 🙁

No cancellation from sony. Woohoo!

@nirron Ingwer: was your order cancelled via email or what?

my order still shows up on sony website. I ordered thru sony at 920 am. Any dif as to what orders they may be honoring?

sonys phone number cancelled all the orders and they say there sorry

8778657669

@gam zu: how do u know that’s cancelled???

@Eli:

yes.

@Eli: call the number!! hes right!!

Called Sony at 1-877-865-7669 and the message said there was a pricing error

Canceled my order!

Amazon will honour it!!! I spoke w a customer service rep, I told her that I bought from amazon over sony bc of their policies, and loyal customer etc etc and tnen I said amazon prices change on a dime why should’nt this be honoured? She sent me an email with notes that she put in my account attesting that when the camera comes back in stock I can purchase from amazon for $198!!! yahoo!!

I don’t believe you. please post email

@leah: I don’t understand why people like you enjoy doing things like this? Why bother to post a fake comment? You really get any bit of joy from messing around with people?

Dan: is there anything we can do about sony not honoring?
I believe this a question that most of us want to know now.

@Joseph: Yups me 2!

@Joseph: Yups me 2!

made 2 orders from sonny totaling 35 of them, I got no conf but I do see a pending charge on my cc

Smart marketing move by sony. They make a price mistake, amazon matches, nobody honors it, and the camera becomes a #1 seller on amazon. Maybe they did it on purpose!

it’s a marketing strategy people like us gets to talk about it

Amazon cancelled order but I chatted with them and got a $15 credit.
