Sony A7III $1,458 with EDU discount at B&H

$1,458.00
+60 Deal Score
35,492 Views
I've been watching the A7IIi deals everyday for months now. In the past 4 weeks this camera went from being $300 off normally, to being $400 off for students, then briefly $500 off, then back to $300 off, then briefly $500 off again, and then that deal vanished last night and this is the deal I woke up to.

These student deals have been fluctuating up and down, but this current offer for $540 off retail is the best price I've seen. For those that don't know, you can't stack student discounts with corporate tax exemption at B&H.

Focus is $1,613.30 for the Sony Alpha a7 III 24.2MP Full Frame Mirrorless Digital Camera with 28-70mm Lens (before tax, free shipping).

Yes, their verification system (ID.me) does accept High School students, and teachers of any grade - (My wifes a teacher and we already did ID.me verification for Verizon so it was fairly easy). I've never bought from Focus before, thats my only hesitation.. I have used B&H and Adorama before so was hoping to stick with what I know, but after the BS with Adorama I think they are off my list for a while. I spoke to someone from B&H today and they confirmed, they only accept college students/teachers, not High school (even though others with the same Verification program, UniDays, do work with HS)...
B&H price with lens is $1568. I am suprised that the Focus price is better for body but b&h is better with kit lens.

Don't worry, by the time you kid is in college, you will be able to get that for about 1000. It's probably when you will be able to travel and actually use your camera anyways.

I just called Focus, they pricematched B&H/Adorama for me.. He's going to check with his EDU rep to see why they are offering it for less..

*Update - The Focus rep said their website should be updated shortly, it should match what the other retailers are offering it for.

Its my first time purchasing from Focus and its a good first impression.. I like that their EDU works for high schoolers, and I didn't get the runaround that I got from Adorama.

I dont think just an EDU address is enough at alot of these places anymore. I had to verify by signing into my sons HS portal to verify he was a current student.

Can't seem to find a way to chat with them. Seems like their body+kit price is still not updated. Can you please send me a screenshot of the $1548 price match you for with B&H/Adorama or your checkout price?
