It says backordered, no chance of being honoured.

Will see

Got one. Plus taxes total $211

Judy

Body only

eli

Ordered…they will clearly cancel it though

DP7

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.”

Yoni

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

Tony

It says body only. Is this the actual camera?

Adam

Ordered! Worked so far

Jessica

What does body only mean?

MaaYanky

Amazon sells it for $198!!

It’s backorder anyways…

Dave

In for one. Let’s see what happens.

Abey

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

Jon

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

Ek

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

leah

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

Doc

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

ben

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.

yanky

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

Dans the man

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

YOSEF

Amazon typically cancels price mistake orders

Dan

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

Chaim

Got one with overnight shipping. Lets see…

Rachelle T.

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?

Neil

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

ABC

@ben:

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

Rob

Price back to normal

Nate

@ben: I think body only means no lenses

Not a Camera Guy

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

Refuafan

“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.

leah

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

B.K

214$ after tax …. Now we wait

CGB

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

Jay

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

Markus

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

ethan

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

Zow

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?!

leah

what does back order mean?

Refuafan

@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).

Carol

Ordered 2. Hopefully it will work

Sammy

Dead

GTR

@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.

Warranty

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

nobiggy

@jay
See Comment #21

Malki

Same price on Sony.com

Anonymous

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

e

@ethan: good question. should i cancel order?

Brian

Amazon will buy it back from you for $833!

ji

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

Dan

@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.

BK

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.

Dan

@Rachelle T.:
You don’t need to spend anywhere near that, eg,

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

Eugene

Sony.com has the same pricing for it… Not sure if it’s a mistake but best buy has the a7 for $999

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

Anonymous

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

Anonymous

@Doc: do you need autofocus?

Anonymous

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

Dan

@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…

Jessica

What are the chances of Sony honoring this price?

jay

They caught on. it went back to the regular price

david

Does the shutter book come with free shipping ?

david

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

Marc

And it’s gone!

Liam

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

Yitzyk

Just died. Cannot add any to cart.

Riva

Looks like its dead…

Miracles

@david: No.

Dan

Still available from Sony.

CG

amazon went back, sony same price

Mendy Y

Just bought !
Thank you!

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

Dave

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

Anonymous

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

Aaron

@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:)

leah

What is Sony’s returns policy

jack

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.

love dan

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.

Jc

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

anonymous

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

Shmilfke

Just bought one on Sony

just called BB.

Rep picked up and was like:

Sony Camera?

DARN!!!

jeb

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

NA NACH

@leah: AMEX

Ronnie

Bought one from sony…lets see what happens

R.P.

@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.

Balagan

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

thank you Dan.

Elliott

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.

R

Thank you ordered

ygift

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

BB

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?

Best Buy

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

Achshell

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!

Abe

Thanks Dan ordered 1

ji

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

dans fan

ordered 1 from sony!

Nick

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

Chaimk90

Is the free photo book only from Amazon?

BB

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

R.P.

@Ji, maybe they like the free publicity.

Sol

Which is easier to get cancelled Amazon or Sony?

Gary

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

photo book

Ordered a 100;)

Just bought it from Sony.

Anonymous

does that mean it will be honored?

Mi

Is this still going or is it dead?

R

@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

theman

Steve ur the kinda guy who ruins it for everyone

david

Ordered!
Thanks Dan!

persin

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

ypersin

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

Steve

@theman: I winked for a reason:)

yed

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…

Jon

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

ben

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

Aaron

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.

ari

i called sony…they wont honor

Good Sign

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?

aliza k

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!!

sos

stop callimg them!

Oscar

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…

israel

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

any news on if they will honor

zow

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

BB

@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

Miracles

@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.

yanky

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

Ari

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.

R.P.

My order was just cancelled by Sony.

Jason Smith

@Sam:

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

Sam

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!

thanks Dan

I also got cancellation from Sony

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

Anonymous

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

Yis1

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?

Hopeful

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

Yis1

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?

Debbie

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?

everyone calm down!

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”

Jack

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.

jil

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

eli

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

Djei

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,

@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 ; )

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)

Alfontso

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.

Thenewguy

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

Joe

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

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!

Joe

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

John

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

Funny

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;)

Hope

@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?

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?

Steve

@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?!

Chavie

Still no cancellation from Sony.

Eli

When I click on my order with Sony thru my email I just can’t find my order there

leah

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!!

lalaland

I don’t believe you. please post email

Jason

@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?

Joseph

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

Eli

@Joseph: Yups me 2!

Mosh

@Joseph: Yups me 2!

still holding by breath

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

YYK

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!

pix

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.

Well here’s a life lesson: read Dan’s Deals, INCLUDING all the comments. You would learned something that would have TRIPLED your return. (see comments at 3:53 & 4:51)

Amazon cancelled mine…weird I never got the email, it just disappeared from my ordes

Barry

Whenever there is a “price mistake” opportunity, there are those who criticize those who act upon it claiming that it might be a chillul HaShem. While I understand that perspective, I also realize that it is a legitimate price listing that anyone could buy if they chose (and were aware) and that sales, even very big sales (eg “Black Friday”) happen and may be to the seller’s advantage somehow. Moreover, the seller, like the buyer, recognizes that “price mistakes” are inevitably part of doing (online) business, and sometimes it is in their best interest to honor those mistakes and sometimes it isn’t.

This was the first time that I attempted to take advantage of what was clearly a “price mistake.” I did wonder if WE diminish ourselves in the eyes of the seller (who likely knows who WE are) by doing so. For the reasons above, I thought that I was above board attempting to make the purchase and would likely do so again.

What I don’t feel at all comfortable with is the notion that we should be complaining to or about the seller if they decide not to honor the “price mistake.” Is it gracious to insist that the seller to lose millions of dollars because of an honest mistake? Should we really be calling attention to ourselves, and is there the possibility that we are creating a chillul HaShem, by calling in to the company? Is that gift card really worth it?

Food for thought. My two cents.

ji

@liam knuj, I don’t need your “life lesson” I chatted with amazon and a supervisor and they gave me $5, but what I did learn from Dan is HUCA

mark Jardim

My order from Sony says Backordered Arrival dependent on Ship Method selection, still no cancellation email, but charge on cc is only a temporary authorization still.

tomy

all you have to do is listen to there tell number and there they say all orders are getting canceled, it dosnt matter if they sent an email or not!!!

chaim

@tomy, did you get a cancellation email?

#martin – comment 160, has there been any other talk of this? wondering if it is legitimate or a hoax.

“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.”

tomy

@chaim nops, but I assume its a mater of time.

tomy

@chaim: let me ask you something,
why should there be any 1% possibility of honoring, if the company says clearly on there tell line that its a price error and its not gonna be submitted,???

Looks Real

Looks like that Sony started shipping already, maybe there is still hope.

From another forum
“zip code 610041 order number 0004300058890404 Sony shipped the order but the order will not be delivered.”

DB

No luck getting Amazon credit for my time and frustration due to my cancelled order. Any tips?

thanx dan!

thanx dan for the 0 effort on my part and the $15 compensation amazon offered me for my pain and suffering. while I may not have a great deal, I come out on top in the end 🙂

Itz

Can Sony actually cancel the orders when they say that their policy is that if there is a price error in favor of the customer they will honor it?

th

Where do you see they say that?

Anonymous

@Looks Real: how did you manage to have them ship it to you?

tomnat

No cancel on sony yet.

Looks Real

@Anonymous: Its not me as I said I saw that on a differnt website.

Aliza

Since I have yet to receive a cancellation email from sony, I am convinced they will be shipping it to me when they get more in stock. It was charged on my cc.why would I call that phone number to hear it was cancelled? If they didn’t tell me it was cancelled then it’s not cancelled.

Eli

Just received an email from Sony
“We have canceled your order/item(s) due to item unavailability.

Is this a normal excuse for cancelling this order?
