That price is for a body only camera. No vf or microphone and no camera plate. The retail is $29,500 so that works out about right for the street price you showed from BH Photo.

Pretty much all of the initial inventory has been snagged for the Olympics.

I was just at Sony HQ in Park Ridge last week and this info is from a senior manager.

You'd be very lucky if that happens. Keep us posted! Pretty much everything I've been told is late summer/early fall for single unit buyers.
