It happens only few times per year that you really find great deals in Europe! So I am glad I have one today for you:

The Panasonic G3 with 14-42mm X lens sells for 329 Euro at Pixmania Germany (Click here) and Pixmania France (Click here). Consider that the lens alone sells for around 300 Euro so you get the G3 for free :) The same deal but for $349 can be bought at other Pixmania stores in Italy, Spain and so on…

One more deal: There is again a new large Stock of refurbsihed E-M5’s for sale at [shoplink 22691 ebay]Olympusmarket[/shoplink]. Click on the links to see the single auction price:

UPDATE: The LX7 sells for $249 at Newegg (Click here) after Coupon Code: “B2TEXTDCM02” (Exp 5/22).

The new E-P5 is here and at least the kit verisons are sellling fine at Amazon (here is the ranking). But if you (like me) tend to buy MFT cameras and lenses when they are not brand new and well discounted than you may take the chance to grab the deals which will expeire tomorrow. Example:
The E-P5 body for $999 is too epxensive? You can grab the previous generation E-P3 for $369 with lens at Amazon (Click here).
The new VF-4 is too big and expensive? Than grab the VF-3 for $99 at Amazon (Click here).

For $468 you can buy a PEN with lens and viewfinder which is less than half of the price of the new PEN body :)

-> And here are all deals:

Olympus Lens Deals:

The new E-P5 is here and at least in US it’s available in four different configurations. Wanna know which one is the more popular? The Silver super kit with 17mm lens and VF-4 viewfinder is the most preordered according to Amazon Ranking tool (Click here). And as you can see the body only options are less popular than the super kit version.

Of course this is a purely indicative (and changing every hour). But it underlines the general feeling expressed by the 43rumors readers, the body only price is a bit too high. And the Superkit has a better value for the money you are going to spend for it.
