Panasonic ZS100 superzoom with $100 Gift Certificate and $22 Rewards for $548

In a parallel promotion to the GX9/GX85, the introduction of the brand new Panasonic TZ200/ZS200 (15X, $800, 1″ sensor) has also brought special offers on the TZ/FZ previous generations…

The Panasonic ZS100 currently goes for $548 with free shipping AND Adorama is including with it a $100 Adorama gift certificate and $22~ promotional rewards in your choice of black color scheme or silver color scheme…

Previously, in mid December 2017, Adorama offered this with a $50 gift certificate instead of a $100, but it included some free accessories.

As usual, you can optionally triple the original warranty by filing with Panasonica…

Panasonic GX85 with 12-32 and 45-100 and $100 Gift Certificate and $24 Rewards for $598 with free shipping

Panasonic just revealed the new GX9 with 12-60 for $1000, and it is often the case, it means discounting on the previous models.

The Panasonic GX85 with the 12-32mm kit lens is now bundled with the 45-150 f4-5.6 lens AND a $100 Adorama gift certificate and $24~ promotional rewards, all these for $598 with expedited shipping at Adorama in your choice of silver color scheme or the black color scheme.

The previous time Adorama had a similar promotion in last December 2017 it was with a $50 gift card instead of a $100 gift card!

The price is certainly right for a “take pictures with” entry-point into Micro Four Thirds. You pay $600, you get a camera, two lenses, and $124 “buying power” for future purchases at Adorama.

Panasonic G9 gets a January 15 estimate (YMMV)

I just added the upcoming Panasonic G9 to the Stock Status Tracker, and surprise-surprise, both the Amazon itself listing and the B&H Photo listing have a January 15 estimate! The original Panasonic estimate was for late February. So if two major retailers have the same estimate, that’s a good sign!

Obligatory screenshots to make sure I did not post this while sleep-walking/sleep-blogging, first B&H and then Amazonia 🙂
