Disappointing, But Expected: $200 Sony a7R Orders Will Not Be Fulfilled

Sony’s online store probably received a record-breaking amount of visits yesterday after word broke out that several cameras and lenses were listed for as low as $200.

Expecting the orders to be cancelled, many people placed them anyway in hope that the company will honor the listed prices and absorb the price difference.

In a rare incident were a camera company actually met its customers’ expectations, Sony has started cancelling orders.

It seems like PayPal orders have not been cancelled so far.

Was Sony’s Site Hacked? Listed DSLR Cameras and Lenses Up To 90% Off

Initial reports stated Sony’s online store has the a7R listed for just $199.99 instead of $2,299.99, leading people to believe that someone had made a mistake.

A deeper look, however, reveals that several other products, including the a77II were listed for ridiculously low prices.

With so many product prices being slashed, it seems increasingly likely that a (very) disgruntled worker or a hacker attack is behind this.

The largest price reduction was on the 500mm f/4 telephoto lens which was advertised for just under $1,300 – a full $11,700 off its regular price!

Most of the prices have been corrected, while others are busy being fixed, but will Sony fulfill the orders that have already been placed?
