Camera impulse buy

Hi guys,

I currently own a Sony A6000 camera and have been a fan of the mirrorless variety.

I just did a impulse buy:

Sony A7R MkII $2999
Sony SEL 24-70mm F4 FE OSS $899 (reg $1399)

Apparently the deal was if you buy it as a bundle they would take $500 off the lens.

You guys think this is a decent deal?

it's alright
definitely not hot enough for me to impulse buy
given that the new a7R III is 'only' 25% more
love the mark II though...I also upgraded to it from the a6000...you're in for a treat

Well... you bought it already. No point having buyer remorse.

Now go out and shoot some pics with the new rig!

I can always return lol..........the A7r III is a good $1000 more.

After I bought it Best Buy changed the bundle to $4298 before tax...........felt like I was getting a decent deal.

That's so that they can advertise a fat percentage off = savings for boxing day

The best camera you have, is the one you have with you. Don't think that just because you got a nice full frame A7RII that all your pictures will make into a calender no matter what the light or anything.

Just get out there and shoot! (I should take my own advice)

^^^ don't get me wrong I use my cell phone camera all the time. But just for those special moments in life I want to capture with something better.

The A6000 has been a great travel companion and take great pictures, but I couldn't justify buying a decent lens that's not full frame but it is a great point and shoot camera.
