I've been shopping for a new Sony Z7u, and the average price everywhere is around 5K.

A place in NY called Sonic Cameras has it for $2,695 with a premium package. How?

Be careful! I ran into a similar situation when I was looking at the Canon series camers. I went o but it and it was only for the body of the camera and not the lens. No where in the advertisement did it state this. The only way I found out is because I emailed the place and asked if I could pick it up instead of having the ms hip it. I then pushed for an answer about the low price and found out that it was only for the body of the camera. They had no intentions on telling this if I had not pushed for a answer.
