Switching brands is a painful and expensive process, but a new "trade up" promotion from Sony is trying to take a little bit of the sting away. For a limited time, people interested in stepping up to a Sony a7 II, Sony a7S II, Sony a7R II, or Sony a9 can get several hundreds of dollars in credit + trade-in value when they hand over their working DSLR or mirrorless camera.
These kinds of trade-in programs are not uncommon in the photo world, but we're more accustomed to seeing them from brands like Hasselblad and Leica, where the price tag for upgrading from one model to the next is so high that a significant discount for trading in your older camera is a serious boon.
Sony's promotion isn't quite as intense, but trading in an eligible DSLR or mirrorless will snag you $500 + trade-in value towards a new a9, $300 + trade-in value towards an a7R II and a7S II, and $100 + trade-in value towards a new a7 II. What's more, these discounts are being offered in parallel with instant-rebates of up to $200 on the same cameras.
If you're looking for an a9, there is a (long) list of eligible cameras that will earn you that $500 bonus; however, if you're interested in an a7 II, a7S II, or a7R II, "any working digital interchangeable lens camera" is acceptable. To learn more or take advantage of the program, read the press release below or head over to the trade up website at this link.
The 'trade up' promotion runs from August 13th through September 30th.
