I'm really happy with the Sony Alpha 7 IV Mirrorless Camera 33MP deal I got through Greentoe.

• Bid below MSRP
• Tax-free often It works well since they bypass MAP pricing restrictions.

In my experience, the most reliable way to find a deal on the Sony Alpha 7 IV Body Only is to monitor the open-box listings at authorized retailers like B&H or Adorama. I have used this method many times over the years and their inspection process is usually very thorough. For a wedding, you really need that official warranty, so avoiding grey market sellers is the right call. To add to the point above: if you can access an EDU discount through a student or teacher, that is often the best way to bypass the stubborn MSRP. Sony is quite generous with their educational pricing and it can save you around $200-300 depending on the current promotion. Its basically the only way to get a brand new unit below list price without a headache. I would also look into the Sony Alpha 7 IV with 28-70mm Zoom Lens kit rather than just the body. Retailers sometimes have more flexibility on kit pricing, and you might find the total cost is nearly the same as the body alone. Since you are jumping into 10-bit video, just make sure you pick up a high-speed card like the Sony SF-G Series TOUGH UHS-II 64GB SDXC so you dont have any issues with the data rates during the ceremony... it would be a nightmare to have the buffer hang in the middle of the vows.

> the prices are stubborn. I was sure there'd be a sale by now In my experience, if you see a price thats way lower than MSRP on some random site, just run. I've tried many retailers over the years and those deals usually end up being grey market imports with no warranty. Theyll often try to upsell you on basic accessories. Stick to authorized dealers or open-box gear if you wanna save cash without a huge headache before that wedding.
