I know you are all having your hand on your wallet to buy the GX7. But if you want to spend much less than grab that super G5 double lens kit deal at Adorama (Click here). It costs $598 but you will get a free $100 Gift Certificate too! The body only can be bought for $299 at Amazon (Click here). All other great deals fo the day can be found at DealsRunner.com (US and EU deals).

The G6 is right now in Stock at Samys (Click here) and Amazon (via Samys). As usual in USA Panasonic is a bit slow in delivering enough cameras to the US market. Olympus is already shipping the E-p5 with no delay but it seems like the camera isn’t selling that good on Amazon (ranking here). I guess most of the people will now wait for the Panasonic GX7 instead…

P.S.: Stillv alid, The $299 for the G5

There was a Blackmagic event in LA and Ogy Stoilov at MRP Films confirms the news saying the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera will ship in 3-4 days in small quantities (preorders here at BHphoto). News via Nofilmschool.

The price for the the Panasonic 12-35mm X lens just dropped down to $99 thankt to top rated seller [shoplink 40444 ebay]MZgamers on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

Speaking of high quality zoom I do hope Olympus-Panasonic will learn the lesson from Sigma. Their new 18-35mm f/1.8 zoom not only is terrific fast, but also of very high quality. And all that for $799 (Amazon price). I hope they will acknowledge that!
