Only for today you can grab the G5 with kit lens for $399 at Woot.com (Click here). That’s a $100 saving over the price at Amazon (where it is the most sold mirrorless camera).
And there are only a few E-M5 kits for $1169 via Sunset at Amazon. In Black (Click here) and Silver (Click here).
But the top deal of the day is going on in Canada: You can grab the GX1, both Sigma MFT lenses, a Holster Case and an SD card for $769.99 (you save $454.94) at Henrys (Click here).
Reminder: LX7 for $299 at Amazon (Click here).

Refurb. Mehhh
The G1X + Sigma 30mm + sigma 19mm can be found for around 500$ new… not a big deal.
Your right. I think they are figuring the full retail cost of the sigma lenses, not the both for $199 price.
Dont buy this! The new pen is not gonna have a view finder and its only gonna be 1000 $!!!! But its gonna look soooooo cool…
Jump off something really really tall without a parachute. You’re probably like this off the Internet as well, and your family and coworkers will thank you. Assuming you have a job…
Little harsh, I thought 43rumors was a nice place to hang out.
Also, on 43rumors the concept of sarcasm is rarely understood.
Some sarcasm and irony is good. But constant trolling and brand bashing is tiring and wasting space to help users.
I keep forgetting that only panny bashing is allowed here…
It’s okay to have a laugh and make fun of a few things, but brand bashing serves no good purpose. If you don’t like something or had a bad experience with the brand, no point spending the rest of your life telling the world about it. Just move on. This is what I find with a lot of people who constantly troll against a brand is that they used to be a user of the brand but they had a bad experience somehow, and now they need to express revenge on the internet. Both Olympus and Panasonic have good products, m4/3 is a good system, affordable and good value if you pick the right time to buy. You don’t like this product, someone else doesn’t like your product, who cares? Just focus on your own things and move on. Bad products deserve criticism, sure. But best way to send the message to the brands is not to buy from them. Money is the real talker. All complaints don’t do anything if we keep buying their gear.
Actually, what you consistently seem to forget is that any “bashing” is lame. You haven’t realized that you are exactly what you dislike about Oly “fanboys”, just on the other side of the coin. You have your reasons for having a favorite brand, they have their reasons – but none of you have every changed a single person’s mind by bashing.
The majority of my gear is olympus. I just get a laugh at the fanboyism around here.
This a great deal for example, and there were around 3 comments. The ep5 gets a post with a 1000$ price tag and in less that 30 minutes theres 100 posts 85% of them being people justifying the crap out of it. Panasonic gets a lot of hate here with no comments like the above defending it, but say something about olympus that isnt “olympus is awesome!” and prepare to get shot.
I don’t understand all of the hate for refurbished products, they’re always a great deal- and they’re more checked out to be okay once they leave the manufacturer than regular products.
+1 but I’d prefer an Oly.
Agree completely. I purchased my OM-D with kit 12-50mm lens for $750 last December, granted it was part of the GetOlympus pricing snafu that only lasted a few hours (but which they honored, give them a big pat on the back for that). It’s performed flawlessly.
+1
Agreed.
I have a 7 year old refurbished Dell desktop that works without any issues, an old refurbished laptop, and a bunch of used photo gear…
I have wooted since the beginning. Stopped buying refurbished products from them years ago when I realized every single refurb from woot (about a dozen gadgets) stopped working within days/months. Woot’s policy on returns/warranty is also rarely in accordance with the manufacturer.
A lot of places sell decent refurbs. I would only buy refurbs from the manufacturer. Woot seems to get the refurb rejects.
Good to know. I wasn’t worried about a refurbished product but this company was a big unknown factor.

Confused.. Then what sets it apart from an EPL-5???
same sensor
no EVF
basically same body
probably native iso 200 (be awesome if it went native 50)
probably 1/4000th (be awesome if it went 1/8000th)
maybe built-in bounceable flash?
So only thing would be 5-axis IS .. but then that will pull a huge numnber of sales from the EM-5 as then it’s only a matter of weather sealing.
Something significant needs to be added to make it the BEST pen. SO FAR nothing in the rumor mill makes it a leap forward from the EPL-5
where the new lumix rumors,
panny will announce new MFT cam before E-P5 but no detail anymore
