I bought the GX7 with kit zoom for even less from amazon last November – $852.
A friend’s daughter got a GX7 + 14-42mm II kit for about the same at B&H.
I paid around $1200 for a black GX7 + 20mm kit in October… from Canada.
Moral of the story, never pay sticker price
You can get GX7 bodies now for $615.00 new off ebay. Why B&H has ramped up the price is anyone’s guess. Maybe to drive folks to other cameras like Sony or Fuji?
Those eBay cameras are gray market. Panny prices seem to be the same at all authorized American retailers (BH, Adorama, Amazon, etc). Adorama is being creative in offering a gift card, but I think that’s all they can do – incentivize.
These prices are high though. Just a month ago the Gx7 body was $750 in the us. I picked one up from B&H with an additional 6% google wallet discount ($705 delivered). Feels like a steal now. The following week every retailer was was selling the body for $997.
Has the GX7 been a success for Panasonic? The recent rumors claiming that the line is in flux would seem to indicate that it was not. I’m really surprised. Styling is highly subjective, but to my eye, this is the best looking camera they’ve ever released. It has a left side EVF, a tilting touch screen, and great specs. It seems to handle well. Nearly a perfect camera. All an update needs is weather sealing, 4K and that supposedly awesome new focus system. And an all black version without a premium price! Who’s with me!?? 🙂
nobody is with you,nerdiez…
Waiting for Sub $500 before I try this old tech
