A reader (Thanks!) pointed my attention to a great opportunity:
Due the Pound fall you save over 300 Euro on Olympus stuff at Amazon UK. For example you can have the Olympus 7-14mm PRO lens for 799 pound at Amazon UK (Click here). Converted this is 932 Euro which is 200 Euro less than the lowest price in Germany or other major EU countries. Nice!
Here are some great closeout deals if you you want to grab them:
Panasonic GM1 with 12-32mm lens for $389 at Adorama (Click here) and Amazon (Click here).
Panasonic GM5 with 12-32mm lens for $459 at Adorama (Click here).
On both you get an additional 4% reward too!
P.S.: I love the GM series and I don’t like the rumors I got that it may got discontinued :(
Reminder:
You get the lens and the gift card fro free on the Panasonic GX8 sold by Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).
You save $50 and get an additional 2% reward on the Rokinon 50mm f/1.2 MFT lens sold by BHphoto (Click here).

I got two more info from anonymous sources about the new E-M1II:
Source 1:
Same E-M5II articulating display, 48 MP high res mode without tripod. IMproved Ergonomie. Pictbridge VIII. Overall 20 % better image quality than the E-M1.
Source 2 (Simon):
New sensor, hiRes without tripod !!!!, this is great– so no need for FF Kamera), scratchresitance Screen, Videomodus (4K ) and an new mic solution (3d sound).
These are from new sources so I cannot yet confirm if the info here is correct. The current info from trusted sources is that the E-M1II specs are:
4K video (first Olympus camera with 4K)
Dual SD card slot
Handheld High Resolution mode
Much improved autofocus performance
new high-resolution EVF
Announcement at Photokina in September
It has no global shutter. But Olympus worked hard to reduce rolling shutter to a negligible level

Aaron: “The ultimate lowlight test for the GH4. Ambient streetlight/moonlight mostly along with a 1×1 f&v panel. My main lens was a Mitakon 25mm .95 and secondary was a Rokinon 35mm 1.4 cine. The artist are a EDM couple named Baby Bats and they only come out at night so let’s see how it held up…

Gonzalo: “Last July I went back to my hometown in the Central Pyrenees (Northern Spain) after having just purchased the new Lumix GX80, and I took the opportunity to visit (and capture) the ruins and remains of some towns that used to populate those mountains and that nowadays have fallen into abandonment and oblivion. A sad but beautiful trip to the land (and traditions) of my ancestors and a nice way to test the capabilities of this little camera:
