Panasonic GH4 body with $200 Gift Card for $1500

The Panasonic GH4 body only currently goes for $1500 at authorized dealers. They can’t discount, but they can offer more freebies with it.

So you have $260~ to spend in future B&H purchases… The freebies do not end there, you also get a free digital download of the ON1 Effects 10 software, and if you don’t hate mail-in rebates with an unparalleled passion, you can triple the original warranty from Panasonic via mail-in rebate.
