Maybe you could post these somewhere else, seems a bit random which deals make it to the dring page
I like how the Admin brings these deals and posts them here.
I did too, but it seems everyday there’s a deal on the GX1, though I appreciate that fact that the site needs new content daily.
+1. Sick of seeing the GX1. Discontinue it already. Same with E-P3. GX2 and E-P5 can’t come soon enough.
oh come on, there must be some GX1 deals in europe as well! Please!!
Hi!
Yep there is a plan to move out all deals on a special and separate website. As some of you like them to see them and some of you not.
Beside that you are aware that the site has categories and by clicking on it you can filter out the deal posts?
Bye!
Exactly!
I’m not sure why so many complain. If you don’t want to see the deals, just click the “rumors” filter and have at it.
I am sure there are many users that have benefited from these posted deals by getting great pricing on cameras before they sell out. Plus, it benefits you, the Admin, and allows you to fund the site and keep it running. That is something that I think all users should value.
And I reapeat. I found the solution to filter out most of the deals post from the main content. It will be implemented in 2-3 months!
Well, it’s nice to have all in one place. There will always be complainers. You can’t satisfy all and everyone. May be You should post some poll?
A deal is also a mirror for upcoming new cameras. According to motor cars these GX1 deals are something like a “final edition” for cars, a clear indicater that there is soon coming a sucessor.
Keep it! I have bought now a refurbished Cameta E-PL1, new XZ-1, and now a bargain new 40-150mm because I check this site daily for news. Thanks admin!
I’m with Dave. Keep the deals coming. I’ve got a G3 and now the 40-150 because I check this. Thanks admin.
There will always be someone who complain about something because they want to be the so called expert they take all their time each day trying to find a flaw or mistype.Sad life to live. Keep up the deals they are appreciated.
I was happy admin showed the pany 12-35 for 749 EUR to empty my purse!
I would have bought the 40-150mm lens at that price but they want to charge $75 for shipping! I think I’ll pass on it.
Depends what country you are in, but you can get the 14-42 II R and 40-150 R as a two-lens kit deal with an Olympus MFT body for around $250 over body only price. This is normal sale price. No special discounting. Some big retailers have %off sales for cameras. For e.g. if 15% off, you can potentially get both lenses for $115 ($57.50 each) over body only price. This only makes sense if you are buying a new camera body and want the kit lenses.
I’m in Australia & that’s pretty expensive for postage. I didn’t see an option for postage that might have been cheeper (maybe I didn’t look hard enough) & the lens is back up to $159 now. Maybe next time I will look better & not be too picky.
I went to Adorama instead, but the black lenses were out of stock, so I bought the silver one instead (it will be fine on my silver OM-D) with postage costing $59. $158 for this lens will now give me that option for my kit (untill something better comes along). That’ll do me!
99$ for the 40-150? Almost can’t believe, great deal. But I ask myself why they make such a low price… New one coming? Hm, 75$ shipment rate to Europe isn’t so great for such a leightweight product…
Purchased a 40-150mm from getolympus.com last week for $99. I half-expected it to be a typo or some sort of pricing error, but it’s set to be delivered tomorrow.
Hey Josef,
Did it take a long time to get the lens shipped from getolympus after you placed you order? I placed mine this weekend, 2-day shipping, and I still haven’ received shipping notification (I am probably spoiled by Amazon’s Prime).
It did take a little bit to ship out. I ordered on the 7th and it didn’t ship until the 11th. Olympus did ship the lens with 2 day shipping though. I should have it tomorrow.
Thanks for the reply, hope we all enjoy the lens soon 🙂
Price changed on Amazon so I got if from http://www.adorama.com both the black and silver model is $99.00
Admin, thanks for all the recent notices about camera and lens deals!
Ordered a GX1 with the 14-42mm kit lens for $341 from Amazon the other day. Today they cancelled the order, so I went to B&H and bought a black body for $319, saved $5 on a second battery, and no shipping costs, either. Still a damn good deal.
What a nice little camera!
FInally got a chance to handle a GH3, too. It’s not as gawdawful big as everyone… including me 😉 … have been complaining about! It feels really comfortable, in fact. The control layout and dual control wheels are really nice… separate shutter speed and aperture. The EVF is very crisp, not blurry as some have reported. The new display is very nice, too!
I ordered two at adorama. they asked $52 for shipping to switzerland.
one lens is for sale 😉
Awesome! Was in the market for a cheap Telephoto.
Landed in New Zealand from Adorama for $137 NZD all up! They are $400 in the shops down here.
Stoked.
If you are in Western Canada, London Drugs has them for $99 CDN. Save on shipping>
Thanks for your publication on this website. From my personal experience, often times softening
up a photograph may provide the digital photographer with a dose
of an inventive flare. Many times however, the soft cloud
isn’t just what exactly you had in your mind and can usually spoil an otherwise good image, especially if you intend on enlarging that.
