Perhaps - that doesn't explain *why* they cost as much as they do - unless relative cost is something considered when they're actually pricing these things.The cameras are the least expensive part of the total kit.
Its basically a very low volume (sales), high quality (design, build quality / precision and materials / finish) camera body. They are almost custom made cameras. Once you hold one in your hands and use it you will understand. Some Cambo models can be had for not that much money. So there is a wide range in price.Serious question.

If Sony only made 500 A7r's per year, what would the cost per camera be?
The fact of the matter is that Sony will never make make a product like A7r with 500 units as sales projection. That would not even cover the basic setup in their manufacturing processes.If Sony only made 500 A7r's per year, what would the cost per camera be?
