Olympus E-M5 w/14-42mm Elite with free Oben Tripod w/Ball head for $500
If you are in the middle of long deliberations on whether to get the first generation Olympus E-M5 with 14-42mm for $500, B&H Photo has just added a new incentive: the Elite E-M5 w/14-42mm kit also includes a free Oben AC-1321 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with BA-106 Ball Head which goes for $85 on its own (averages 4.7 out of 5 based on 27 customer reviews there). While this promotion is running the free Oben will be included automatically by B&H, you don’t have to add it manually.
The other two E-M5 kits (black or silver, non-Elite) also go for $500 but no free Oben tripod. You can quickly switch between them using the thumbnail navigator over there:
The first generation E-M5 is no longer the “latest model” since Olympus released the all new E-M5 II (second generation) going for $1000 as body only. With twice the price, and that’s before you factor in the 14-42mm lens and Oben tripod, it creates a 2-for-1 trade-off.
Panasonic GX7 w/14-42 and $50 GC for $550
Adorama is bundling a $50 Adorama gift certificate, along with 4% promotional rewards ($22~) with the standard Panasonic GX7 with 14-42mm kits for $550 in either silver GX7 kit or black GX7 kit. The certificate will be included automatically by Adorama while this promotion is running. The countdown clock over there suggests it ends around 6/13/15 at noon ET.
