We just noticed that BHphoto is selling the Olympus E-P2+17mm lens for $529.95 only (Click here)! Officially BH says the price is $799 but if you add it to the cart the final price is $529.95. That’s $270 less than the usual price!
And there is an even better deal when you add the Olympus E-P2+with 14-42mm lens to your BH cart (Click here). The final price is $506.19!
We received some rumors about a possible E-P2 replacement in February. So maybe that’s the reason for the price drop…
And an interesting deal is back: Panasonic GF1 with 20mm Lens in Stock for $599 at Amazon (Click here)
And here are the other current deals:
Panasonic 7-14mm for $908 at Amazon (Click here)
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 with 14-42mm Lens (Black) for $518 at Amazon (Click here)

Note that neither kit includes the VF-2, which was included in the original E-P2 kits. This price puts this kit more in line with the E-PL1 (the E-P2 kits without the EVF have always been overpriced IMO).
It’s called inventory balancing. Olympus has been doing a lot of that in the last month or two. I picked up an E-PL1 with lens for US$399 from bestbuy.com during one of the Olympus inventory purges.
add vf2 to this package and its not much different than the last amazon deal. still very welcome of course. this is one sweet machine.
There is also an awesome deal on the Lumix G2 on Amazon

Must be a glitch/error. Right now it is $699 when placed in cart
Things change quickly, now it’s $599 for EP2+17mm kit and $606 for 14-42 version 😀
and amazon is even cheaper with $567.50 for 17mm kit.
ya, in cart 699 right now, was only 600ish yesterday
I called them because I had it in my cart at 529 then went back to order and it was 699. They put me on hold for like 15 minutes and then said it was a mistake. I’m not buying it. It was only $55 less than Amazon. No way their “real” price is $116 more than Amazon. Think they just wanted to sell a few.
Judging by price dynamics, EP3 is right around the corner…
