I saw a new "international" version of the NEX 6 + 16-50mm + 55-210mm for 100,000 yen yesterday at Bic Camera here in Sapporo. That is about US$915. It is duty-free for tourists so they would get the 8% tax rebated so 92,000 yen, US$840. I am not a tourist so I can't get the tax rebate. Is $915 a good price for this? The "international" version has the same firmware as outside of Japan so many language choices and it also includes a warranty for 53 countries, but a Japan warranty is excluded. Anyway, just wondering. I don't need it, but the price struck me as probably pretty good, but maybe not.

for that price you can have the newer model A6000 + both kit lenses:

Nex7 and 6 (new and second hand) dropped considerably their prices after the introduction of A6000 and A7 series.

Thanks. Okay, not a good price. I am not really up on most of the Sony stuff these days.
