Heads-up on the Sony A100...check out Circuit City! |
|
Sony made some major product announcements at PMA, and have essentially revamped their line of sub-$1,000 DSLRs. The A100 has been dropped, and replaced with a series of three new cameras (A200, A300, and A350), two of which feature LiveView, but which also drop the depth-of-field preview feature that I, at least, find essential. At this point, the only Sony DSLR with that feature is the $1,300 (body only) A700, which is a great camera, but far more than I can afford.
As of a couple of days ago, reports began showing up on DPReview.com's Sony forum that Circuit City, in light of the new model announcements, was clearing out its remaining A100s for $400 or less. I made the rounds of local CC stores -- most were either out of stock entirely or selling their remaining cameras for full list. However, I did find a couple of branches that were offering the closeout prices, and wound up getting an "open box" special at the Olympia store for $325. This is simply an amazing price for a camera as good as the A100, and I would encourage anyone looking at the Sony mount to check out their local Circuit City for what could be one of the best values they're going to find anywhere.

1. Circuit City has also announced that it is closing it's doors, so |
|
one would hope there would be a lot of real bargains if you act fast--there won't be any re-stocks or rain checks. Most stores can check inventory nation wide and you can buy online and have it delivered to a store near you W/O shipping.

2. I think you've got Circuit City mixed up with CompUSA... |
|
The latter is closing (or turning into an Internet-only store)> Circuit City's still in operation.
