Sony A7 Trade In Deal is Sweeter

Image
Save $545 on the Sony A7r The previous trade in deal saved us $460 from the MSRP of the a7r. The new trade in deal from Adorama is sweeter since the MSRP of the cameras are lower by $200. Sony a7 MSRPs Reduced by $200 What this means for us is a savings of $545 on the Sony a7r body, $500 on the a7 + 28-70mm lens bundle, and $455 on the A7 body only. You can also add in the trade in value of your old camera for more savings. The Sony A7 trade in offer from Adorama expires by the end of the year.

Sony A7r Weather Sealing Test with 28-70mm FE Kit Lens Kai Wong of DigitalRev Plays with the Sony A7 Cameras The new Sony A7 and A7r cameras are featured on Digital Rev with Kai Wong. The A7's 28-70mm FE Kit lens was used on the A7r and produced "stellar" shots. The A7 and A7r's focus systems were compared. The water resitance was also tested using the A7r and the 28-70mm kit lens. A Leica 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux-M ASPH was used to show how adaptable the E-mount is. The focus peaking display was nicely featured. In conclusion, Kai was impressed with both cameras, "Sony has created a product of desire."
