There are a couple of new EU deals to report and at least one of them is a quite surprising deal. The still to be shipped Olympus 12-40mm PRO lens got a 142 Euro price drop in Spain (Click here). I don’t know if you can order the lens from outside Spain. If the answer is yeas this is really a great deal.
Another great deal is the 150 Euro off on the E-M5 with 12-50mm kit at Fotomundus (via DL) and the 80 Euro off on the 60mm macro again at Fotomundus (via DL).
HOT UPDATE: Forgot to mention two gold Box deals running otday in UK! On the Panasonic GX1 (Click here) and on the Olympus XZ-10 (Click here).

EU850 seems expensive for outside Europe with exchange rate
That’s because of the bogus inflated value of the Euro.
Finally the EU is getting some deals too.
Olympus camera prices are still really high here.
Still waiting for the supertelephoto mft lens this is a nice lens i will buy at some point but saveing for some thing around frist
Thats good news. If Oly wants to be selling they must drop the prices with al this competition. M43 around 500 euro, APSC around 1000 euro and FF around 1700 euro.
Oh, so you’re the marketing and sales genius? Cheapskate. You know that the E-M1 is superior to any of the crappy APS-C toys that you may have. If you want a great camera like the E-M1 you need to pay for it. Otherwise, go back to your point and shoots.
The E-M1 looks to be a very well built cameras as it should be for £1300 body only it has an excellent feature set.Unfortunately it is not on a par with the better APS models where it counts most image quality it is also sadly lacking in video quality compared to Panasonic models.If you are more interested in features gotta love art filters its a winner on the other hand if you want to get maximum image quality for your money not so much.
I can see no reason to even consider upgrading my E-M5.The E-M5 is weather sealed enough for me, I don’t keep my camera in a freezer the 5-axis IS works very well and finally I do not have any interest in the four thirds lenses. Have you seen the price of some of those beauties
Image quality is most certainly important, but saying that it is what counts most in absolute terms contradicts all of the history of photography. More then good enough image quality such that what you want to do is well within the comfort zone of your equipment and media is what matters most.
This is clearly evident from the start of photography as standard negative/film/media size has been decreasing ever since. It still applies today, as few people have a need for and are using large and medium format cameras, and relatively speaking, few are using 135 format cameras. Why? because its total overkill for most situations.
That’s awesome, Shenkie. How are you so knowledgeable about price fixing? You must work for a central bank with that vast knowledge.
yes and sony rx100 for €25….right?
€250
Hmmm… correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the APSC sensor size much closer to the M43 sensor size than it is to the FF sensor size?
Hi Bruce,
Only if your a u43 user, if you are an APSc user it is about 95% of a 35 mm sensor, that is the simple law of the Canikon user.
Aren’t you tired of acting the moron all the time? I mean, you’re not actually as dense as you seem are you?
i stick the 12-40 in my bungholioooooo!
Any thing admin on super tele size ect? i get my em1 12-40 combo Nov the 2nd ohh it seems a long way away
“This product can be sent to Spain and other selected countries”
The selected countries are not listed, but it’s worth a try – the ordering system with Amazon makes it easy to use your data in other countries, and shipping costs tend to be reasonable
P.S. The product description seems to be wrong – aperture is listed as 2.2-2.8 and that it has image stabilisation
Sorry, but there isn´t any price drop at fotomundus. They just sell one single E-M5 with 12-50mm kit being exhibited.
mwah maybe it shows that we are still in some kind of economical depression and spain definitely not above it (holland neither though).
Sometimes ago there was a deal that in Paris Saint Charles Photo E-M1 + 1240 kit at 18xx euro.
Still €100 more than the US Amazon price ($999 USD) in straight exchange. But not like the rip-off £899 in the UK (equivalent to €1060 or $1400 USD!)
Yeah, I know tax is included in the European prices, but it shouldn’t be up to 40% more expensive?
Sold out – now back to €999 – must have been a weekend special
Running to plug the leaks huh? I thought this was the best-selling, best-everything product on the market.
why are you such a d-bag?
