Default No Sony DSLR promotions in Sitex?

I have been looking around these few days but seems Sony had no special Sitex promotion. Seen at least Nikon had some special Sitex package but Sony had been exceptionally quiet. Seems no one even bring up Sitex over here in Clubsnap. Anyone seen any thing in the Sony camp?

It is my humble opinion that as far as DSLR deals go, such trade fairs are NOT the best places to go.

Trade fairs are awful for DSLR "deals". Besides, Sony already has it's year-end-promotion thing going on

There's a 70-400 f4-5.6 sony lens there. Not sure if its dummy or actual lens. The person say will only launch in jan 09. It does look quite big.

Ok, guess I don't need to waste time to go Sitex to squeeze then. Get from outside better.

Becos Sony is catching up with the big boys fast, even the big boys are saying that themselves. So Alan is making the right decision to start selling Sony products. Now that leaves just John 3:16, who is still only serving the 2 big boys.

Not quite, they do stock some sony lenses, such as the 15mm Sigma FE. But they do hate Sont PnS cams and push canon whenever they can, even though a lot of the canon PnS use Sony sensors.

They do? Last time i checked with them they said they do not have and I also had some bad experiences with them. For me is MS Color or CP all the way now.
