The lowest I've seen with an EDU discount is $998. Looks like Sony is clearing up inventory to make way for the new Sony A7 V. My prediction is it will remain at 33 MP, but improved IQ, same 5.69M dot EVF, same LCD screen as A7R V, ai chip like A7c ii, better video capabilities.

A7 IV might come down to 2k price ($1.5k with edu) and the new A7 V will be at $2,498.00 or more.

At the same time they might announce an A1 ii with global shutter. Also A7S IV with a higher MP to be able to shoot 8k. I am predicting this summer or by Oct.

edit: price and A1 ii

LMAO. This is not an "entry" level camera. It was pro level when it was released and still is today.

I still take fabulous pictures with my + 10 y/o a6000, and have minimal complaints about it.

The pictures you will miss by not buying are worth more than a few hundred bucks. besides, when you start buying good lenses, you'll realize the bodies are negligible.
Agreed! My a65 along with my collection of Carl Zeiss and Minolta beer can lenses still take great pictures!

Me too! Love my a6000 and even my father in law commented on how small and light it is (especially comparing a 300mm equivalent lens to his full frame z7)

I prefer aps-c over full frame for quite a few reasons. I'm not going after ultimate IQ.

Sony aps-c has tremendous advantages: portability, great budget and portable lenses by Sigma and Tamron, smaller file sizes, better focal lengths for portraits & travel.

I have huge 3x5 prints blown up from this camera that my guests enjoy, so every year I keep packing my a6000 and leave the big full frame at home.

Did you even bother to search for previous a7iii deals to see what is the lowest price before making such a comment?

It's not a matter of whether this is obsolete or not. It's a matter of whether this is the right price. This has been lower in the past and will be lower again.

For you yes. Some are questioning rather a camera this old is worth anything at all.

Who is? Every camera has a worth. It's a matter of how much. If this is $99, would there be a discussion?

A7V isn't coming soon. This line always comes after a7s updates, so you'll see an a7siv first.

Yep. It was never that low. Unless you can link to a deal I may have missed, my comment stands.

You must not be searching expired deals or not know how. It was as low as 950.

I'm looking to upgrade from an old D5100 to a mirror less...is there a big difference between a6000, a6400 and a6600?

Quote from juice22 :
Are these still worth buying in 2024? The price seems right but the body is several years old now.
the a7iii is still worth it for the next 5 years if you're only doing photography. Keep in mind that the a7iii was camera of the year in 2018 which is the year it was released the same year. It still captures great images and I still use my a7iii for gigs and events. At this price, its an incredible steal because i paid $2,000.00 usd for mine when it was first released. Ya are too lucky to get a damn great camera for this price tag
