A dramatic entrance by the Olympus E-PL9 mirrorless camera. In a “drop the mic” fashion, Olympus announced the camera for the US market and it is already in-stock and shipping at authorized Olympus dealers. There are two options available, body only for $600 or with the 14-42 EZ lens for $700. Three color schemes are available, black, white and brown, but borrowing from the naming craze of smartphones, they call them “onyx black”, “pearl white”, and “honey brown”. I’m personally holding out for the “truly blue” or the fire orange of the HTC U11 😉
This camera too has the high speed shooting technology that can go up to 9fps. Once a feature only found in dedicated sports cameras, now it’s propagating here and there and everywhere…
The various options are now in-stock and shipping at Get Olympus and Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself.
Note that orders placed at B&H and Adorama will ship next week…
The Panasonic G9 body only goes for $1700 and it is in-stock at multiple authorized dealers as you can see at the Stock Status Tracker but we have even better news for you! Some authorized Panasonic dealers are now including the Panasonic DMW-BGG9 Vertical Battery Grip for FREE for the same price of $1700: Adorama and B&H Photo and Kenmore (eBay)…
If you are not fond of battery grips, you can instead get a handful of other photographic accessories for the same price of $1700 by Focus (eBay and Focus directly: digital slave flash, camera backpack, 64GB Sony M-series SDXC card, Wasabi charger and two extra batteries, and LED Video light.
Note that most of the above retailers are closed for Passovers, so orders will begin shipping next week.
The Stock Status Tracker update has two updates on the Fuji X-H1 front as well. The FREE Domke F-803 promotion at B&H and Adorama has ended, but the used prices at Amazon Warehouse Deals dropped from $1799 to $1729. This is by K&M Camera, offering a “Used – Like New” dealer demo with full USA warranty per the listing.
PS: if/when this sells out, you will no longer see the K&M entry in the Amazon Warehouse Deals listings. Used supplies are typically very limited.
Headlining the Pass Over Sales at Adorama is the new condition Fuji X-E2S silver body only going for $350 with free shipping. But that’s not all. If you expand the “Special Offer” area, they are optional combined purchase discounts, eg $100 off if purchased together with the EF-X500 TTL flash.
