UPDATE: The Panasonic GH2 with 14-140mm lens is in Stock at Amazon (Click here).
BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here) are now offering $50 of Olympus E-PL-2 camera’s with 14-42mm lens and $100 off dual kit with 40-150mm!
The same deal is available on the E-PL1 too at BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).
By the way, did you notice that the Panasonic GF1+20mm combo is selling for more than $1000 on Amazon? To bad the GF1 has been discontinued…

typo “E-PL2 is already discounted”, should be E-PL1 or E-P2
Sorry! i thought it was written “discontiniud”, ill go stand in the corner now 😐
I also read “discontinued” at first. The sentence is a bit curious :).
The PL1 cheapen in Europe too. In return the Panasonic 20mm became more expensive the last few days. in total it stays the same ;(
It has been discounted for several days. I ordered one over the weekend and have already received it. You guys are a bit slow on the draw.
Haha! Thats fast Olympus! We cant even buy it in stores in Sweden yet!
Online stores have plenty of them in stock in Sweden but maybe you mean Elgiganten or Media Markt?
Very silly: with the discounts the price of the EPL1 stays the same ($430 with the lens, $400 without). Actually it has even been lower (i.e. $400 with the lens).
The kit with 40-150 is out of stock and it’s not clear if it’s the “serious” m.zuiko 40-150 or the too-large-and-too-heavy zuiko 40-150. But since it’s out of stock it doesn’t matter.
What a deal 🙁
the Zuiko 40-150mm IMO is not too large and heavy on E Pens.

＼(^o^)/
notice how both kits are with the m.zuiko 14-42 “I”. me thinks they’re just trying to get rid of all their stock so they can be discontinued(not a typo =D).
Off-topic. Quite (unusually) positive thread on DPR forums: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1022&message=37649451
P.S. I’m reading RPD too much….
The kit photo on B&H clearly shows it with the M40-150mm lens, but temporarily out of stock.
While the 2-lens kit photo on Adorama clearly shows the 4/3 Zuiko 40-150 with adapter. But all the kits list the 14-42 “II” so not sure where lego’s comment comes from…
sry, i could be misreading things, but the B&H kits doesn’t seem to specify it’s the 14-42 “II”. tho you’re right in that adorama’s site does say so.
Admin – I’m sure you’ve seen this write-up on DPreview:

Do you have any info on what sort of lens this could be? What the heck is that thing? Curious why Olympus won’t even tell the focal length.
