So I'm finally pulling the trigger on the Sony A7IV because my old A7II is literally falling apart at the seams and the shutter count is getting scary high. I'm looking at B&H and Adorama since they usually have the best shipping to my place in rural Washington but man the price hasn't budged at all lately. I spent like three hours last night hunting for a promo code or some kind of coupon but it was a total dead end. Most of those coupon sites like RetailMeNot or Honey just gave me codes that were expired or for weird stuff like free shipping on prints which doesn't really help me when I'm dropping nearly two grand on a body and a lens.
I did see that B&H has that EDU Advantage thing but I graduated like five years ago so that's out and I looked into the Payboo card to save on the sales tax but I'm really trying to avoid opening a new line of credit right now because my wife and I are applying for a mortgage in a couple months. It's a huge bummer because the tax alone adds like 150 bucks to the total which puts me way over my $2200 hard limit for this kit. I also saw some people talking about loyalty codes being emailed out but I've been on their newsletter for years and never see anything besides the usual DealZone stuff.
- Budget: $2200 max for body and a basic prime lens
- Timeline: Need it by next Friday for a trip to Glacier
- Preferences: New only, not really into buying used for this specific body
- Location: Washington state
Does anyone know if there are any active codes for first-time buyers or maybe a specific bundle link that hides a discount? Or does Adorama still do those call-in specials where you can talk to a rep and get a few bucks off? I feel like I'm missing some secret handshake or something...
tbh finding a code for the Sony Alpha a7 IV 33MP Mirrorless Camera is basically impossible! I absolutely love that 33MP BSI sensor and the 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording, its amazing tech. Since your budget is super tight, call Adorama and ask for a bundle price with the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Prime Lens. They sometimes offer private discounts over the phone. Its a fantastic setup!
