the price RM6299 is SRP after rebate. the RM5XXX from outside is lowest they can offer. of course, ended up, u had to pay extra 3-5% when done payment with credit card. what's more, normal shop has no extend warranty
*
if i remember correctly the 3yrs extended warranty about 400-500; and that still be ~300-400 cheaper than this offer (6299). also this promotion which is only cover 1 yrs extended warranty. Smart marketing tongue.gif better to call in as a trade off instead of promotion. anyway, street shop is good for cash buyer and sony retail is good for 0% installment, fair enough smile.gif

my friend bought A7S couple of months ago. according to sales representative, extend 1 year add RM280, meanwhile extend 2 years RM400

btw, those who purchase at sony store is rest assured all purchased product is genuine sony malaysia unit. if display unit they will inform consumer upfront, instead of some shop, whom hide the truth and deceive shoppers of "they're new unit"
*
ya, i understand your point buying at street shop. always have to ask them take a set that never open (completely sealed); they can give whatever reason it is, but the is up to us to get what we want. if A no good, go B, if B no good , go C and so on. Still have many shoppers looking for business, just matter of small or big margin they earn smile.gif

From the past i wish to buy from sony retail, but their prices just turn me down sad.gif but weird i saw sometime US/Aus sony retail did very attractive promotion with included adapter for very very attractive prices. never could happen at here haha

First time played with the A7ii today. Tried on the kit zoom and also 55mm. I don't mind the size but the weight really feels heavy. Very small but dense which makes it feel really heavy.

I also tried the A7 with a 24-70mm. The 24-70mm is not as big as I imagined, quite small. Now I dunno why I didn't think to put the 24-70mm on the A7ii. Only thought of that after I left the store.

I like to make a decision to buy something before April 1st. The GST will add another Rm450 to the price. Hopefully I can make a better decision once they announce the new APS-C and FF body.
*
I watch people feedbacks, this is overprice/performance lens. although it was good range versatility lens. But as i was truely addicted bokehlicious, F4 seem not enough, f2.8 is real realm tongue.gif somemore if with IBIS, i dont think need OSS on the lens even at 70mm focal length. Now i start feel the pain as others did when want to find a cheap ff portrait prime lens for emount (28mm-35mm), really dont have much choice ==" currently lenses are so pricey and or it just available in apsc.

hope goment push out the GST date to year end as part effort to help those flood victim for their recovery.

Well, even at 50mm F0.95 I feel like it doesn't look that far from F1.4 sometimes.

Also, in order to get 120p on the A7S (not A7II) you need to have the following:
1) get a SDXC card (SDXC means at least 64GB)
2) set your video mode to NTSC (if your card was used for shooting PAL, it will force you to format to NTSC)
3) set your file format to XAVC S
4) set the record setting to 120p 50m (it will automatically crop to APS-C)

I cannot find enough use for 120p, sadly.
*
albnok, is there any formula to understand how big actual FOV for 35mm lens w/ff body if a group of people (object) is about 9 feets away from camera? I wonder if these people stand from left to right, the FOV cover area (left to right) will be how many feet...

I known A7s XAVC S do have 120P but knowing IBIS was really a BIG BIG deal, everyone looks for upcoming 7rII or 7sII w/IBIS. So, current 7s lack of IBIS, quite pricey as well for this body ==" will not consider 7s.

I still kept the 16GB SDHC 90MB/s, i think it is still sufficient for 120P. hopefully.

There is this:
http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html

I don't consider lacking IBIS a big deal, because on my A7S I now shoot in Manual Exposure, F4, 1/160s, Auto ISO. 1/160s is enough to freeze motion and get steady shots, and fast enough not to overexpose in sunlight, while Auto ISO can go up to 409600 in low light, which rarely ever happens.

No, you must have a 64GB card to shoot 120P. I don't know why but that's just how it is for Sony, even the RX10.

wow, just know you owned a magic cam laugh.gif and thanks for the link!

that memory card is quite dirty approach push for storage media hmm.gif i checked the SDXC, speed is similar doh.gif

Its not about the capacity. You need a SDXC card to make it work and SDXC's minimum is 64gb. I am sure a 128gb SDXC will work just fine too
*
not understand why they set such requirement 64GB, if i film 2min slomo 720 120p, it just need 3.5GB


Format H.264 720
Resolution 1280x720
Frame rate 120
Video length 120 seconds
Total space: 3.46 GB

wait till next year... price doesnt look like going down right now.. huhuhu

thinking to grab an a7ii to play 1st before i gg/cny. new FE looks like will be available only after march. also the new launch price will be hike too. and if i still here at that time, resale on a7ii could be still laku if price around ~4200-4300

any recommendation lens <rm1500; prefer new unit...

-24/28/35 large aperture 1.4 (MF also ok, so can shoot indoor)
-2 in my mind so far: samyang 35 1.4 (cons: really big lens, question on resale market if switch to AF later) and noktor 40 f1.2 (cons: not enough wide for indoor)

i got tamron sp90 f2.8 and hvl-43am; i just do not want to step on the adapter and grab tamron 17-50 f2.8, i think resale 17-50 f2.8 have no market (sony alr have 16-50 ssm f2.8 too) and adapter cause more bulky besides the addition money for adapter, and more weight to entire system although gain versatility.

Why do people say the A7S (at RM62xx street price) is expensive? The A900 was RM7xxx street price, and yet a lot of us bought it.

When the A99 came out at slightly lower, people said it was expensive. Same for the A7S. If you consider the price is the same despite inflation and weaker ringgit, it actually became cheaper for more advanced technology!

A7s looks small biji compare to A99 heavy in palm brows.gif thats the reason laugh.gif
