September 10 according to my last call with Sonystyle. Or call them up yourself and ask. It's not difficult.

I think it's almost 3rd week or end of sept by the time it reach S'pore because I think Sept 10 is the release date in USA....

well put it simply we will not be getting the stock first or the early batch. look at the way the accessories reaching this little island.

but well am happy to see that 18-200 is way ahead of what i was expecting, but come later is good because there are rumours of new lens for emount based on other threads, so give us more time to considered if to go emount or otherwise.

That's RRP. Who on this forum ever buys RRP?

btw, how far off from RRP it will be for street price? -20%? still ~S$10400 :bigeyes:
NEX series is very new, plus it is E-mount!

waiting for 18200mm release... next yr can go shoot F1.

 

[cagivaplanet]

[Atarandas]

ah for best value should get with the upcoming vg10 ! the 18-200 will be included as part of the videocam kit =)

 

[GegeV2]

felt the 18 200 before at BEST i think

not sure if its demo or what

but feels heavy (couldbedemo)
hhaas

 

[airconvent]

Seriously. For that kind of price, I expect the lens to be f/2.8 and smaller size too!
Its ridiculous to make the camera small and the lens so big. Its hardly smaller than my Pentax 18-250 and that's for a DSLR!

might as well get the VG10 as well~ then u'll have the NEX + 1855 + 16f28 + 18200.... AND a camcorder that records stunning videos.. if RRP is 1199, then...assuming the VG10's gonna be $3k.. it's only 4k for everything~
