STRATEGERY
Even if you don’t want/need everything included, these can be handy if you are making photography-related gifts this holiday season. You can gift or bundle some of the things you don’t need in other people’s gifts (eg GorillaPod, microphone, lenses, memory card). And for those silly $5 office gift swap things, generously offer them the cleaning kit 😉

Finally it happened! An actual real camera is featured among the Amazon USA deals of the day. It is the new condition Panasonic G7 two lens kit with the 14-42mm and 45-150mm lenses offered for $498 with free shipping, sold and shipped by Amazon itself, with up to three kits per customer at the sale price. Sale ends on Wednesday at 3am ET or earlier if sold out.

The sale price is good for the black or the silver color scheme. Not sure if the limit three is per color or total.

Of course there are many and more options in the world of M43rds these days, especially if you factor in used and refurbished and grey-market options in the mix ~ that’s a fun headache to have 🙂

If you pay with an Amazon store card or the Amazon Chase VISA credit card, you will get a 5% statement credit (depending on whatever promotion your card is on).

If you don’t have either of those cards, pay attention to the Amazon product page and the promotional mini-banners up top. They usually run either 0% financing promotions (usually for the store card) or $XX off for the Chase VISA card. I’m currently seeing a $60 off promotion on the Chase VISA card but the amount may vary depending on the time of the day you check, and who knows what other factors the Amazon AI Price Bots use to decide what to offer to who(m) and when…

More mirror-nyet action from the Adorama curated daily deals, this time we move to the Land of Panasonic where the new condition Panasonic GH4 with 12mm f12 3D lens is going for $729 with free shipping. That’s just $30 more than the body only, so you are getting the Panasonic 12mm 3D lens for just $30 more. That’s of course assuming you want/need this f12 3D novelty lens…

UPDATE: this is no longer available for $450… without any extra freebies, marketplace seller Camera Mall fulfilled by Amazon is offering this for $448 for a limited time…

If you are looking for a “take pictures with” kit to get a foothold into the M43rds system or if you simply need another camera and a couple of lenses, the Panasonic GX85 two lens kit with the 12-32mm f3.5-5.6 and 45-150mm f4-5.6 lenses is on sale for $498 with free shipping. But that’s not at all. For the same price, at Adorama you also get the Corel software, a 32GB Sandisk Ultra SD, a ProOptic and Vivitar filters, a Lowepro bag and other freebies…
