Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
The Panasonic GH4 body only is now on sale for $1300 with free shipping and you get a number of free accessories as follows:
At B&H Photo they include a bonus 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC, and a Watson battery and 4% promotional rewards (around $52).
At Amazon by Amazon itself they include a bonus AmazonBasics camera bag, a 32GB Transcend SDHC, a Wasabi charger and two Wasabi batteries (do not use the Wasabi branded products in recipes in lieu of actual wasabi!)
For the early adopters, the Micro Four Thirds Blackmagic Design Micro Ultra HD Studio Camera 4K is now in-stock and ready to ship to your front door or office for $1300 with free expedited shipping by Adorama.
Also part of the 2-Day Sale-a-bration at B&H Photo is the new condition Elite edition of the Olympus E-M5 with 14-42 (first generation) for $450 with free expedited shipping… The Elite edition has a nicer finish and texture than the standard edition per the Q&A over there – see close-ups of the pictures of the two to see differences…
This is a bit of an unusual combination but if you are a regular Adorama shopper or you do not object to shopping there in the future, they have the Panasonic GM5 with 12-32mm bundled with a $400 (four hundred) Adorama Gift Certificate for $900.
The new condition Olympus E-M1 goes for $1300 at authorized dealers, but if you are comfortable with refurbished, coupon code BOO can get it to you for $816 in refurbished condition at the GetOlympus Outlet, in your choice of silver E-M1 or in black E-M1. They come with a 90-day Olympus warranty and 30-day return policy… Coupon expires 11/3/15.
There are other items there as well, I can’t re-post their whole store inventory here, but if you have noticed any good deals you would like to see highlighted, please let us know!
The new condition Olympus E-M5 Mark II is in four-figures territory, but if you are comfortable with the previous generation model and refurbished, you can get the first generation E-M5 body only in refurbished condition for $408 using coupon code BOO at the GetOlympus Outlet store sale… Alternately, you can get the E-M5 with 14-42 for $476 (15% of $560) or the E-M5 with 12-50mm for $637.50 (15% off $750)… Coupon expires Tue 11/3/15.
The new condition Olympus E-M10 with 14-42mm goes for $500 at authorized dealers. But if you want to save more, coupon code BOO gets you 15% off the refurbished E-M10 with 14-42. So, 15% off $400 = $340. You get a 90-day Olympus warranty and a 30-day return policy… The refurbished E-M10 body only is $306 (15% off $360), so it’s a trade-off of having an extra lens or not… This is part of the GetOlympus Outlet store sale. Coupon expires Tue 11/3/15.
Coupon time! To celebrate Halloween, the GetOlympus (official Olympus store) is offering a 15% off sale with coupon code BOO until the end of day on Tuesday 11/3/15. These come with a 90-day warranty and a 30-day return period. Free shipping on $100+ orders, and flat $5 shipping on orders under $100.
There are 22 items in their Featured Sales including the refurbished E-M10, E-M1, E-M5, E-Pens, and lenses and P&S.
The Olympus USA Outlet store has received more supplies and sales for their refurbished Olympus cameras and lenses. Among the headliners of the refurbished sale is E-M10 body for $360 or w/14-42 for $400, the 12-40/2.8 for $640, the E-M1 for $960, and more. A total of 31 items are part of this sale. Their refurbished items come with a 90-day warranty.
Separately, the Olympus store has a 30% off sale on 4-year extended warranty for cameras or lenses, but as of the time of writing, the price is not discounted after you add it to the shopping cart. I don’t know if there’s a glitch or a magic coupon code is needed. The aforelinked page says “in-cart savings”. Maybe the discount appears at the very last step before paying?
The Olympus E-M1 body only is now down to $1000 at authorized Olympus dealers including B&H Photo and Amazon et al.
This is eligible for the Olympus Camera-Lenses combined purchase discounts.
Now micro four thirds action in the eBay Daily Deals. Robert’s Digital of Indianapolis (Indiana) is offering the new condition Olympus E-P5 with 17mm f1.8 lens in either silver or black color scheme, for $750 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer. There is no mention of warranty in the listing (or I couldn’t find it).
If of all the ever-increasing number of M43rds cameras out there it is the Panasonic GH3 body only the one you want/need, it is currently going for $600 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo… Optionally you can submit a mail-in rebate to Panasonic and get a three year manufacturer warranty instead of the usual one year.
Speaking of M43rds, the previously mentioned Buydig promotion of the Olympus E-PL6 with 14-42 and 40-150 and $80 VISA gift card for $400 continues…
IF you are comfortable with open-box camera gear, the black Panasonic GX8 body only is available in “Used – Like New” condition, described as “Only taken out of box once like new with Panasonic USA warranty”, for $950 by Cardinal Camera through Amazon. It ships from Cardinal (Pennsylvania).
Back to the eBay Deals we go, where BuyDig’s eBay store is back with another offer. This time they have the new condition Olympus E-PL6 with 14-42mm II and 40-150mm lens, and an unspecified 8GB SD card and a $80 VISA prepaid gift card for $400 with free shipping. Limit five bundles per customer. The VISA gift card will be delivered 4-6 weeks after the camera.
NOTE: the camera will be delivered mid-to-late October 2015.
UPDATE: if you can’t wait that long, or if you have available GetOlympus rewards, you can get it from GetOlympus directly [select the two lens kit under “Select an option”) for $400 (without the $80 VISA gift card, but with an 8GB Toshiba Flash Air Wifi SD card). Thanks to one of our readers for the alert!
UPDATE #2: Thanks to S.W. Anderson for pointing out in the comments that the GetOlympus also comes with the 8GB Toshiba FlashAir wireless-SD.
The GetOlympus store has an intermediate level deal going on right now. Especially of interest if you live at the intersection of M43rds and Four Thirds… The camera is M43, the lenses are Four Thirds below…
If you purchase the Olympus E-M1 body only (Micro Four Thirds) together with either one of these two Four Thirds Lenses (Zuiko 35mm f3.5 or 50mm f2 macro), and the MMF-3 Four Thirds adapter, the price of the MMF-3 adapter will be deducted from your total. Of interest if you use both M43 and Four Thirds or are happy to use the Zuiko prime with the MMF-3 adapter.
The steps are simple. Let’s break it down:
Example
In the example below, we have in the shopping cart the E-M1 body only ($1100), the MMF-3 adapter ($180), and the 35mm f3.5 Zuiko ($230). Their total is $1510. Then the price of the MMF-3 is deducted from the total, making it $1330.

So many camera mounts so little time. If you are interested in the world of Olympus, you can find all the latest instant savings promotions for the iLCs, Lenses, and fixed lens cameras nicely organized at the official Olympus store where they have free shipping with $100+ orders (flat $5 if under $100).
If you are comfortable with refurbished, don’t forget to check the Outlet store where creatures big (35-100/2 for $1769) and small (body cap lens for $38) are offered. Their reconditioned items come with a 90 day warranty from Olympus.
Adorama is bundling a free Audio Technica mic with the purchase of one of these 17 cameras. Fourteen of them are Canon DSLRs and Sony full frame mirrorless cameras, along with two Fuji X100T kits and the Panasonic GH4 body only. Some of the cameras come with additional free accessories, while others are eligible for promotional rewards.
No coupon and no rebate needed. While this promotion is running (you will see it mentioned on the individual camera product pages), Adorama will include the free Audio Technica mic (and other eligible freebies) automatically.
Micro Four Thirds action from hot quadcopter maker DJI. They have revealed two new quadcopters in the Inspire 1 line, the Inspire 1 Pro and the Inspire 1 RAW (records in CinenaDNG) with their respective cameras being the Zenmuse X5 and X5R (R for RAW). DJI also launched a new M43rds lens, the DJI 15mm f1.7 ($550). You can also use some of the lightweight Panasonic and Olympus primes with it. A summary of the new products at B&H Photo which is accepting pre-orders for all of them. I hope pancake lenses don’t have a fear of flying 😉
Costco time! 100 pairs of socks? Check! 200 rolls of toilet paper? Check! 420 chocolate brownies? Check! How about the Panasonic GF7 two lens kit (12-32, 35-100, 32GB SD, case) for $500 with free shipping for Costco members or $525 for non-members (non-members can shop there but pay a 5% surcharge). Membership is $55/year, so it’s a trade-off to consider considering.
PS: as of the time of writing, their website has 25 digital cameras. Note that the Sony cameras are marked as “MEMBERS ONLY”, so only members can purchase those.
There are many M43rds camera options out there. One of them is the Panasonic GX7, currently on its way out, already discontinued/gone at B&H but hope is not lost if this is the one you want! You can get the black GX7 with the 14-42mm lens with 4% rewards (=$24~) and a 32GB Lexar SD card for $600 at Adorama.
If you prefer the silver, you can get it for $650 but with a $50 gift certificate included (so it nets to $600). The body only goes for $550. See all currently available options at Adorama where it is marked as a Closeout.
As of a 8/31/15 PM recheck, the price jumped up to the usual levels…
If you are a B&H Photo fan or have gift cards or promotional rewards and are looking for new product releases, as of the time of writing, the following new products are in-stock and ready to ship to your arms with free expedited shipping:
New from Olympus, the E-M10 Mark II is now available for pre-order with a late August 2015 release estimate. The body only goes for $650, while the kit with the 14-42mm lens goes for $800, in black or silver. Pre-orders are accepted at Get Olympus (official Olympus USA store) and at Adorama… This has been added to the New Cameras Tracking Page…
The Panasonic GM5 with the 12-32mm currently goes for $700 at authorized Panasonic dealers, but if you like lots of free accessories, for the same price, Adorama has created bundles with eight free accessories (32GB Lexar SD, extra 3rd-party battery, 16GB Sandisk Vault, Slinger bag, Vivitar filter, mini-hdmi cable, cleaning kit and tiny table tripod). Optionally you can triple the warranty via a Panasonic mail-in rebate offer (the PDF is over there). This is available in the black GM7 bundle and the red GM7 bundle.
On the other hand, if the siren’s call of eight free accessories falls on deaf ears, B&H Photo offers 4% promotional rewards (= $28~) instead of free accessories.
The micro four thirds Panasonic AG-AF100A is currently on sale for a limited time for $2000 with free expedited shipping and free Wooden Camera WC-142000 1/4-20 Shoe Mount at B&H Photo.
