Price matters: GF6 kit ($329) and the E-M10 kit ($499) most sold MFT camera at Amazon US.

gf6

We got two new cameras at CP+, the GF7 and E-M5II. But still, for weeks now one of the most sold camera at Amazon US is the Panasonic GF6 with kit lens for $329 (Click here) and the just discounted E-M10 ($499). Check out the Mirrroless sales (order and preorder) ranking at Amazon US (list here). Price really matters! I hope Panasonic/Olympus will take that into account when launching the future new MFT cameras like the G7, GX8 and E-M1II !

Reminder:
There are plenty of new Olympus and Panasonic deals listed at Amazon (Click here and scroll) and GetOlympus (Click here). In detail we have:
$200 off on the E-M10 at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto and GetOlympus.

Panasonic and Olympus will display new MFT products at the “SCHAU 2015!” show on May 29!

Share

schau2015

The Schau 2015 event in Berlin will start on May 29. And the official program discloses two news:

Olympus  Sneak Preview der neuen Objektive M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm Fisheye f/1,8 Pro & 7-14mm f/2,8 Pro

Which means Olympus will have a sneak preview with the 8mm Fisheye and 7-14mm PRO lenses! I guess this means full pricing will be released on that event also because the 7-14mm lens is expected to ship in June according to BHphoto (Click here).

And then Panasonic:

PREMIERE! Spannende Panasonic Lumix Neuheiten

It says there will be “exciting” new Panasonic Lumix products! Of course we already know one of them is the G7 camera :)

Thanks Klaus for spotting and sharing the news!

Olympus E-M5 MK II Tips and Tricks Review.
Guest post by Travis

This video will attempt to show you how to get the most out of the new Olympus E-M5 MK II. It will show you how to setup the camera for photos and videos. This video assumes that you have already made up your mind to buy the E-M5 MK II and you just want to know how to navigate through all of the menus and settings.
The best way to use this video is to follow along with your camera in hand and use the youtube pause and rewind buttons if you need to go back and review what I said. If you want to see more videos like this please remember to subscribe to my channel and rate the video. If you have any questions then post them in the comments and I will try to answer them.
