Three days ago I reported how Amazon launched the up to $100 savings on Olympus cameras (Click here to see the list) and Olympus lenses (Click here to see the list). The same deals are now available at Adorama and BHphoto too. So here is a quick roundup of the best deals (CLick on the store name to see the product):

Olympus cameras:
– E-PM2 body for $399 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. That’s $50 off!
– E-PM2 with kit lens for $449 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. That’s $50 off!
– E-PL5 body for $499 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. That’s $50 off!
– E-PL5 with kit lens for $549 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. That’s $50 off!

Olympus lenses:
– Olympus 14-150mm for $499 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. That’s $100 off!
– Olympus 9-18mm for $599 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. That’s $100 off!
– Olympus 17mm f/2.8 for $199 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. That’s $100 off!

And from all these new offers the 9-18mm lens seems to be the most sold according to Amazon Ranking.

Finally the GF6 can be preordered at Amazon (Click here). A full roundup of previews and image samples can be read here: https://www.43rumors.com/continually-updated-panasonic-gf6-officially-announced/

And the new Pocket Cinema Camera can be preordered at Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).

UDPATE for German readers: Super Gold Box deal on the Olympus E-PM1 (Click here).

Preorder for the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is now available at BHphoto (Click here)!!!

This is an amazing little camera for film makers. Just read the review that has been written by John Brawley and see the product page at Blackmagicdesign. Blackmagic managed to create something really unique that has the “wow” factor we often miss in many Panasonic and Olympus cameras :)

That little camera has the same video quality from the big brother, the $2999 Cinema Camera camcorder (specs here at BHphoto). You can expect the quality you see here on that video:

European GH3 price drops:
And there is a good news for Europeans too. James sent me the following email: “Just wanted to let you know that I live in the UK and phoned my camera supplier today to see if they had any GH3s in stock. I was astonished because they were advertising it for £950 (has been £1200!) and he told me that Panasonic were dropping the price at the beginning of April and he was receiving new stock next week. The website is http://fotosense.co.uk. They are a trusted supplier that sell through Amazon UK, although best price is direct.”
And in Germany the price fell down the 1000 Euro barrier in Germany (see Idealo). Same price drop in Greek stores.

In US you can grab a free accessory when purchasing the E-M5.The full deal details are available as PDF on BHphoto (Click here). The same deal can be grabed on Amazon too (Click here).

In UK you get a Free 2-Part Leather Case + Battery Offer (ePhotozine). In the rest for Europe the price of the E-M5 has been lowered. In Germany you can get it for 200 Euro cheaper at Amazon DE.
