4k Upgrade now ready for pre order

[Cliff Totten]

Just a quick FYI...

B&H now has the X70 4k upgrade available for pre-order.

I got mine in...

[Dave Dyar]

There is also a link on that order page with some cryptic information about a mail-in rebate for the 4k upgrade for people who bought an X70 before March 30.

Just thought I'd chime in with the usual UK pricing moan.........

Come on Sony UK - stop the price gouging $499 = £320 + VAT = £384 NOT the £499 you're charging us!!!! - f'ing rip off

/end rant

End user pricing after rebate will be $200 USD. Not bad, I think I will preorder just to keep my X70 from depreciating in value.

I won't be able to shoot in 4K though. My FCP X install won't let me export frame-rates (24/25/30) that don't match the project timeline frame-rate, which for me is ALWAYS 60p! Everything exports as still frames.

Now I've gone from being resigned to the high UK pricing to being absolutely furious with Sony UK!

[Mike Griffiths]

It's apparently 60,000 yen on the Japan website ,about £307 at current exchange rates. I live in Thailand ,so Sony Asia who say they will release it Monday 22nd. Don't know the price yet. Why not try another Sony site?

Alaska is included. A quote from the rebate PDF:

"Offer valid only in the continental United States Hawaii and Alaska; excluding territories."


I'm assuming this is because B&H is located in the US. I believe Sony Authorized Dealers in other countries would have their own rebate programs.

[Eric Deyerler]

the last days I got Mails from German-reseller and UK from Sony, no rebate in Europe, so I and many other say, Sony should get his Software and we need no 4k! Because customer get more for free.

[Mike McKay]

I bought from Amazon in the US, better be able to get the rebate. Be nice if it was more clear who/how eligible etc.

[Mike Griffiths]

For those of you living in expensive Singapore, Expandore is offering it for 580 USD plus tax with a lead time of 4-6 weeks!

[Ray Paula]

I still don't see where the upgrade can be bought along with the rebate. Checked in the accessories area of the B&H link provided as well.......nothing. Ray
