What does this say for a body that just came out.

It implies that the high level of interest on FM isn't shared by the public at large.

It tells me that the era when compact p&s cameras like Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 could be sold for money is over. Everyone has a good enough p&s camera in their mobile phone these days.

Just seems weird to make this kind of offer with such a new release unless of course they have a large surplus of the A7r, time will tell I guess

It says time to buy as I, and I'm sure many, many others, have been waiting for just such a deal on precisely these two cameras!

It probably says a lot about the p&s and little about the a7r. Maybe it even comes with everything Sony over a certain price?

I am not entirely sure - it would be speculation on my part. But I am closely watching the A7 story unfold.

4% rewards is not the same as a 4% discount. A straight $100 off now, that would be better.

The free Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 Digital Camera (Black) has an anti-shake feature to make up for any perceived A7r shutter bounce/vibration.

I assume you are supposed to duct-tape the TX30 to the A7R to reduce shutter shake?

Does the TX-30 come with a battery charger that would work with the A7r batteries?

I did notice that here in Canada, you can buy an A7r and TX-30 for just about the same price as B&H is charging for the the A7r with the "free" TX-30...

It more than likely means B&H is looking for an edge on competitors as the retail price of the A7R is still restricted. They are making plenty of money on the a7(r) and have a bunch of cheap P&S lying around they don't make money on anyway.

FWIW, when I purchased my a7 the week it was released from the Sony Style store in Shanghai, they threw in screen protector, Sony camera bag and a 32gb class 10 SD card all for the purchase price which was the equivalent of US$1573. So retailers are doing alright on these.

I think it means it's December 23rd and this retailer would like to finish the year squarely in the black.

I would guess the surplus they have is of the P&S, since they are giving it away for free.

I would prefer that they just take of that "$248" value off from the price of A7R itself instead of including the P&S.

How many of these are returns with 300+ shots I wonder......

These frustrated 1st adopted cameras have to go somewhere.

I think that is the more likely conclusion. As a matter of fact, if you wanted to get rid of the P&S why not bundle it with something that was selling well? Then you would get rid of the inventory for sure.

So I guess in a vacuum of facts, this can be twisted any way that you want.

I don't think it's anything more than a last x'mas shopping push. You can see a lot of retailers (my "flyer" mail account got bombarded with 60+ emails from merchants just last 12hrs alone) doing similar thing and offering free overnight shipping.
