    I am thinking about buying a SZ160 because of the better screen and the lighter weight. Is is going to be customizable like the non-premium model at sonystyle.com or is Sony only carrying the ready to ship models?

    thanks.

    Only way to get a customized premium (i.e. 150 or above) is to get a Japanese model.

    SZ140 - the non-premium. That's what you can customize but they took that down because I don't think they've been able to fill orders quick enough so (smartly), they're not allowing anyone to build custom SZ140s. The premiums (150 and above) cannot be customized nor was it ever an option in the USA.
