Several options.

1. You can buy any cheap camera accessory from buydig and user that order number to submit a trade-in form. They will send you an email coupon for about $300 that is good towards a new purchase of sony mirrorless camera.

2. You can submit trade-in form for your existing camera equipment (camera or lens or accessories), they will respond with their offer plus an email coupon for about $300 that is good towards a new purchase of sony mirrorless camera.

3. You can buy sony mirrorless camera at full price, then submit trade-in form with either of above option. They will refund the trade-in value plus the bonus of about $300 on the purchase you already made.

Once you submit the trade-in form and they provide their offer, there is a process to ship your equipment, evaluate the condition you initially mentioned in the form etc to confirm the final offer price.

BHphoto edu, A7C $1418, A73 $1498, A74 $2248, seems almost the same if paying by their credit card.

This. Thank you. Can you post some deals or potential deals that can be worked out?
My rule of thumb is 10% off msrp for new release and go wild on things released for 1yr+. Just checked my GT history I got a73 for 1600 in 2019 tax included. Obviously YMMV and it's amazing how a73 holds its value (I sold mine last year for 1400)

With $100 trade-in bonus, you can get Sony FE 20mm F1.8 G Lens for $698. So is that a good price?

Looks like good now. The lowest was $618 last year, but never got that low price in the past year.

It needs to be working hour since I believe a real person need to manually accept or reject the trade-in.

Thanks OP! Picked up Sony A7C.

Ordered the $8 lens and did trade in and they just gave me a coupon. Will be selling my a7ii with kit lens on eBay/FB instead for better price.

I'm new to Sony. I've been using Canon 6D for years. Is A7IV worth the higher price? Or should I save money with the A7III?

A quick google search found this website talk about the differences.
https://mirrorlesscomparison.com/...-vs-a7-iv/
https://www.alphashooters.com/com...v/#summary


Sounds like if you like to shoot video, there are significance improvement in A7 IV that you may want to have.
I also watched some youtube video that talk about A7 IV and most youtuber said the low light performance is better in A7 IV. Most of those youtuber are likely professional and many of them upgraded to A7 IV. But for casual user, really depend on those extra features like better auto focus, better low light peformance, better video, better menu, etc.

- improved body and controls,
- vari-angle display,
- new touch menu,
- CFexpress Type-A support,
- live tracking,
- 10-bit internal recording and S-Cinetone just to mention a few.
- For movie shooters the a7IV also gains a new active stabilization mode that is not found in the a7III.
- The a7IV also supports 4K/60p
- The a7IV joins Sony's more recent Alpha camera's by removing the 30 minute recording limit (which a7 III has this 30 mins limit).
- a7 IV also records gyro and lens data as metadata, you can use Sony Catalyst Browse/Prepare software to further smooth camera shake and make adjustments to image stabilisation even after shooting.

- Then it also adds Bird Eye-AF from the flagship Sony a1.


The a7 IV however brings big improvements when it comes to the autofocus performance over both the a7III and a7R IV. The addition of real-time tracking for animals and birds will definitely help this new camera appeal more to wildlife photographers or photographers who like to shoot a little bit of everything.

For video shooters 10-bit internal recording and S-Cinetone are probably going to be the most interesting developments, along with eye-tracking in video.
