From SAR: A7cII for 2699 Euro and A7cR for 3599 Euro
That is obviously just a rumour, and I assume the Euro price factors in VAT. If true, it seems a big expensive. Wouldn't that make the A7CR more expensive than the A7RV? Would that make sense?
Those prices would have me looking at the a6700 for $1400. I'm not sure what the price is in Euros for A7RV, and how prices for european retailers are reported because (I assume?) VAT differs from country to country. If it costs within $500 of the A7RV, there is basically no reason to buy it.
European gear prices tend to be significantly higher than US prices. In a quick search on Amazon Germany, I can't find the A7RV for a comparison. But the a6700 sells, without VAT, for the equivalent of $1900. That is about 36% higher than the $1400 the camera sells for in the US. If we apply that percentage difference to the rumored A7CR price of $3960 (converting Euros to dollars), then a rough estimate of the US price for the A7CR might be $2534.
Of course, these are guesstimates and there are a lot of uncertainties and unknowns in these figures. But $2534 feels about right to me for this camera. I think that might put the A7CII at $1999 to $2199.
