I doubt you'll get much change out of £2500 for the 70-200 GM OSS either. Impressively small size for a 2.8 though.
Gasp, £7k for a 2470 / 70200 and A7rii. Good luck.
To disrupt the market they could have priced it competitively but have priced many out. The A6300 on the other hand might tempt me to finally separate my photo and video needs.
A6300 body - $1000
or
1250 euros. That's equivalent to $1382 or £948.
A6000 looks a bargain
Has been for over a year. Good camera.

Just compared the size and weight of the 70-200 f2.8 GM OSS to the similar Nikon.
Sony - 88.0 x 200 mm & 52.21oz
Nikon - 87 x 205.5mm & 54.3oz.
Just over 1/2cm shorter & 2oz lighter. I thought it looked smaller than that.

£7k. The mirrorless bodies should be cheaper as there is less moving parts and no pentraprisms. Why are full frame mirrorless cameras so dear?

Lenses are still as expensive. Electronics cost the same. Mirror and pentaprism are probably a couple hundred; EVIL VF is not free either. The rest is RD, marketing and profits.
The lack of touch screen along with IBIS is unforgivable when they touting it for video. They probably have another camera above maybe?! For now my interest is cooled. Getting a few A6000s on the cheap may be the better route.
Nikon succeed in selling more D810s than Sony sells A7, so economies of scale mean Canikon can be more aggressive in pricing and still make profit. So Sony either have to charge more or reduce their profit in the hope of winning market share.RD yes but economies of scale a mirrorless camera is a lot cheaper to manufacturer than say a D5 or D810.
I did see a rumour for an A6000 type camera with 33 or 36Mpx and IBIS to be released in the summer so it may still come.
