$252 Markdown - Panasonic G6 with Kit Lens for $498!

This deal is almost unbelievable.  Yes, the GH3 is also marked down to $928 - but for less than $500 for the G6 is an absolute steal.

This camera is the best value for money hybrid still/video camera in its class. It has focus peaking, wi-fi with Near Field Communication (NFC) for wireless control and file transfer and a built-in intervalometer.  All features that are missing from the GH3.

At these prices, they won't last long.  If you want the best large sensor interchangeable lens video/still camera below $750, you may want to pull the trigger on this deal.

(Note: I just looked at the product listing and after only a few hours, the G6 is now backordered at $498.  You can still order it at the sale price, however, and Amazon won't charge your card until the camera ships)

(Note 2: I just checked eBay, and you can still get the G6 for $498 from Adorama via eBay - which is less than you can get them for from Adorama direct)

SALE - Sony NEX-7 w Kit Lens $1029 @ DigitalRev

With the rumored imminent release of the "NEX-9" - it looks like we're starting to see discounts on the Sony NEX-7.  This was a breakthrough hybrid still/video camera when it was released - the first APS-C mirrorless camera with a built-in EVF and Sony's three wheel "Tri-Navi" system - far superior to the menu-based controls of the NEX-3 and NEX-5 series.

The NEX-7 is still generating buzz - Trey Ratcliff over at the great travel photography site Stuck in Customs recently published a provocative post called "Hello Sony. Goodbye Nikon. The Story of Why I am Switching from Nikon to Sony"  In the piece, Trey, a long-time Nikon shooter, explains why the NEX-7 is now his only travel camera:

"...the NEX-7 is the best for my kind of photography. I'm using it exclusively now and will be in the immediate future until something better comes along..."

And now that the price has come down, the NEX-7 is starting to become a much better value for money.  You can get a 24.3MP NEX-7 with the 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens for $1029 at DigitalRev right now - a couple of hundred dollars less than the same camera will cost you at Amazon, Adorama or Sunset Electronics via eBay.


Here is Kai's review of the NEX-7 from January of last year:





There are only a few left at this price, so get 'em while they're hot!
