That looks just too good to be true... I'm always skeptical when it comes to this kind of Super deal... I wonder if this could be a phishing site...?

I think someone moved the decimal point over one to many spaces to the left. $1999.99 makes more sense, obviously. Anyhow, if you have ordered one and actually get it, that would be a steal.

It is from a legit Sony site. I double and triple checked before I purchased it.

But I just had a thought...Best Buy price matches. :)

If there are more cams reduced like that, expect the site to be hacked. I'd not order anything requiring financial details.

The only thing suspicious is that it's happening over the weekend. But, since I already have a Sony account, they have my informaton already recorded, and I just picked the last 4 digits of my CC number. I didn't give them anything they didn't already have.

If they got your information, should it be hacked, they probably have access to that too but it's still possible they use Sony as a proxy in terms of payments. The price might be a human error but more than one cam that is priced insanely low is very unlikely. And Sony was already subject to massive hacking not that long ago.

I don't even see an A7r on the site or a camera for that price. They must have changed it.
