Panasonic Lumix Deals & Offers

Code expired.

Was £249 (with 12-32) after cashback in Jan via this . I missed it by a few seconds and went for a tz100 for £380 instead. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gx80-compact-system-camera-with-12-32mm-349-249-after-cashback-john-lewis-2883700?page=2#thread-comments

May I ask how and where did you get this deal?

I see Wex have matched this price now online, maybe the new RRP from Panasonic for the TZ100 although all others are still £525 or so but a lot of retailers have no stock which made me question whether or not it will still be produced. TZ200 still on preorder, phoned local Wex and they are still awaiting stock, but all online stores are £725 preorder. Can't justify the extra for a longer zoom and a s you say a few minor updates.

they are surely going to have both models going at the same time - tz100 highest price on amazon since introduction was 550 so its not even come down much in 2 years if it tz200 really does sell for 729 and tz100 cease to exist thats a massive amount of customers lost imo as a whole new price level for what is basically a jump in zoom and very very minor updates otherwise

This or wait for the Z200 (RRP £720 thou) :/ I wonder will the Z100 still be produced or will the Z200 completely replace it. If the Z100 goes sub £400 I'll buy 8) Nice deal anyway, cheapest price at present, heat added (highfive)

as said above - they didn't 'go back' they kept the 30x zoom range with smaller sensor and made more of them after tz100 was released (including your tz80 and the newer tz90) thats not abandoning it to those that want it - its a parallel range the similar naming is pretty stupid though

Brilliant camera. The zoom is only at 10x as the sensor is so much larger than most travel zooms. Bigger sensors need bigger lenses. 20x digital still looks really good on this.

Received £100 today 😁

Thanks Ash. Judging by that I should hear something in the next couple of days hopefully!

Hi adsham, I submitted on 02nd March and PayPal received on 14th March. Hope that helps! Ash

Great, well done. When did you submit your claim out of interest? Just checked my emails and I did mine on March 5. Thanks in advance!

299 @ srs https://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gx800-digital-camera-with-12-32mm-lens.html

349 now???

It's good to see a budget model at a budget price for a change. Manufacturers seem to only bother with high-end models nowadays , clearly more mark-up.

why would they need to? it IS misleading as very few people buy their lens that way people pay an extra 50-100 quid to get it as a kit lens and as such thats its true 'cost' never minding the actual 'rrp' pretty much the same as any kit lens because 'noone' buys the lens that way then noone cares about the retail price also as you ironically used to make a point about... the lens included here is not boxed so not even really the same at all

'No one ever buys the 12-32 new on its own at that price, so it's a tad misleading' I did say retail price, buy it unboxed and it can be had for £169 :) Care to provide us with a link to a better price than £249, new, that's not a grey import or open box?

I've had this camera for at least two years and it's been used a lot. The viewfinder is great on sunny days and also helps stabilizer the camera. You can output in RAW for editing, it connects via it's own WiFi to your phone or tablet. It's a great piece of kit.

Gone sorry

Woop, the price has went down again, Currys are toying with us. I'm still trying to find a camera case that doesn't cost the earth - any suggestions, you lovely people? :D XD Me and the Pentax camera case would make a good pair, I'm pretty hideous as it is :p

Hi there, I am a HUKD newbie in Newport who would love a reservation for this camera if you still have it? Ideally asap so I can pick it up today (y)

has a square front - the camera isn't square so id say it would not be great at a guess... plus its hideous :p

Finally got round to making a video with the G7 here are the results - I am happy with the camera for the price it does feel a little cheap but can't complain considering the picture quality.

Wow

Great camera and a good deal but I'd look out for a deal on the G85, waterproof, IBIS and no anti-aliasing filter.

already did - they both have a 50 quid code RIGHT BACK ATCHA SON CUM OOOON!!!

Thanks might have to cancel my order with curry’s :). Ideally they’ll match this in the shop so I can give the boy at jessops some business.

Not quite as good as yesterday's John Lewis deal (£449) and when I looked earlier, Park Cameras didn't currently have stock...

Good deal. Mine just arrived from yesterdays John Lewis deal. Seems like a very nice bit of kit so far. Currently you can get an Olympus 30mm f3.5 macro for $99 from the BHPhoto in the US - even after customs it's still cheaper than I've seen it over here.

Haha you updated it as I posted so I deleted my post! You're welcome! :)

Updated - should have been GX8. So an even better deal ;) Thanks.

Same here. Ordered.

Showing as expired, but it still seems to be working. £549 with the code and then £449 with Panasonic cashback?

Had this for over the summer in Japan. Used with a pancake 20mm (40mm equiv) prime which kept the overall size down. Drawbacks: Focus hunts/breathes a bit in continuous AF during video; isn't the quickest to AF/track on stills with moving targets; IBIS not the best when it's body only (want lens + body ideally). Body is a bit bulky. Good points: menus and amount of buttons/dials to customise is great; flip out touchscreen and tilty EVF are excellent. Built like a tank. Moved to a6300 since for the bigger sensor, AF/AFC speed and tracking, superior video quality, and smaller body.

Is this right? I think the first £100 is already taken off the price, making it £549 after cashback.

Yup highly recommended especially for travelling.

Thanks. John Lewis now have camera at £760 with both code and cashback still available. So got it for £560. Can't wait to pick up on Monday.

Thanks for posting this. John Lewis recently priced matched this for me @£699 , with £100 trade in and £100 cashback, bringing total to £499. Camera is excellent.

Great camera

I also noticed that I'm unable to claim cashback through the website. So I've emailed them. Will let you know how I get on. Seems like a lot of faffing about for £50.

why exactly did you contact - to check they would honour cashback or to check that they would be valid for a future purchase?

Just to confirm, Amazon are certainly honouring the original deal. I also noted that Amazon had been dropped from the list, contacted them using the email link, and had confirmation within 24 hours.

Contact them - it was because amazon are running their own promotions so now they have to be input manually if you purchased in the right date window. I have my cashback cheque

I agree - Amazon was on the list. Why have Panasonic taken it off ? Are they not wanting to sell cameras via Amazon ? Let me know how you get on with your claim.

now priced at £169

Ordered Saturday and arrived this morning. May order the 25mm now

I'll give them ago. If I don't recieve I'll claim off PayPal. Lenses are pretty reliable so touch wood. Just a 25mm f1.7 and that will do me for a while on lenses.

you could always just repeat it parrot fashion!

argue [pedantically] your point with whatcamera

£559 at Bristol Camera (£509 with cashback) https://www.bristolcameras.co.uk/p-panasonic-lumix-dmc-fz1000.htm

Well, the optical zoom is very good. And it's made by a very well know lens maker Leica. The Sony zoom is a T* made by Carl Zeiss. You can't get much better than those. The sensor is only 1" but 20 Mp. Ok, zoom lenses can't be as good as prime lenses. But who can afford a range of prime lenses nowadays? And it's all in a reatively compact body

Interesting, was this only at 4K? (I'm not actually intersted personally in 4K)

yeah you could take a pic of your home for sure

All electrical items have gone up in prices, thanks to brexit and lower pound/dollar exchange rate

You also need to look at what lenses you'll want/need as well as size/weight. There's not always a huge difference in the weight between some of the more substantial m43 bodies and the cheap dslr offerings, but biggest weight savings come when you compare lenses. I hardly used my Canon when I was hiking (too much effort to keep stopping to take it out of my pack) and it wasnt practical to have it out all the time, but my GX80 fits in a case attached to the chest harness of whatever pack I use and it's always there when I need it

Same as a few of the previous comments very little experience with a Camera looking for something entry level for when i go travelling and hiking... any recommendations? was also looking at the Nikon D3400 In general all the mirrorless camera have been a bit pricier than the entry DSLR

Need to take jewellery pics for Etsy. Not sure whether to go for this or the Nikon D3400

Yes, I saw this earlier. Very annoying - for me! Bought the camera last weekend from Jessops for £369, along with the 25mm f1.7.

Price reduced to £349

am not sure why people would buy a non-black camera.. on the odd occasion I have no choice other than to shoot through glass, or, if there's a reflective surface, the reflection of a camera is a PITA.

Ouch ;/

Expired!

Wow wow that's a fantastic price for a MFT F1.7 prime!! Heated.

JL had some quite good prices in store on Fuji lenses today. Unfortunately all OOS and completely removed from their website. And they wouldn't sell the display models (

+ £7.57 for insured delivery. Grey Import so no UK Warranty. http://www.panasonic.com/uk/greyimportproducts.html

you should read a photography primer (angel)

Hahaha! You amuse me! This is sooo 1800 IMO! So are you telling me that in this modern age you still walk around with a phone, camera, radio, CD player, calculator, flash light, Filofax, camcorder, watch, calendar etc in your pocket??? Were you born in the same year as the queen?

This camera doesn't use CCD (not that it has any effect on on focal length) and you're not going to get a long zoom lens starting at 12mm EFL. The only ultra wide fixed lens 1in camera was the ill fated Nikon DL with the 18-50mm lens which was cancelled before it was released, if you want a compact ultra wide the only option is to go for a mirrorless and a UWA lens although you won't get much zoom range. John

It was never worth the RRP but 13 squid isnt a bad shout for the genuine case and battery.

Not a bad price compared to its peers but there seems to be a lack of progress in large sensor compacts. As in, it's been a few years since Sony RX100 came out but the prices for similar cameras are still very high

Good deal, hot!

I have the LX7. Which also has a fast 1.4 lens. The larger sensor and 4K would be nice. But wow the price!!!!!! I shall wait a while till it drops to something affordable. But a great camera for sure. The lens is the most important part of any camera.

You can get the Sony RX100 III for £499 so you need to decide if a viewfinder is more important to you than a touch screen and 4K video.

No idea! But looks like at least one person is making use of this so I'm happy enough!

2% Quidco with Jessops also.

The TZ70 does not offer GPS at all (was a dealbreaker for me, pity as it's a handsome camera) Knowing where holiday snaps were taken when reviewing them years later is a must in my family. Bought my TZ60 at JL due to an earlier HUKD deal. The wifi function works well for grabbing zoom photos onto phone on the go, to include in social media messages.

I just bought this from John Lewis too for £219 last week :(

[quote=rodman]same price with JL just put the code PANASONICTRADE20https://www.johnlewis.com/panasonic-lumix-dmc-tz60-digital-camera-hd-1080p-18-1mp-30x-optical-zoom-wi-fi-nfc-gps-glonass-evf-3-screen/p1179282?s_afcid=af_24658&tmad=c&awc=1203_1495636461_caf6ab96c5723c275114f28ae4f4223c&tmcampid=48#tabinfo-spcl-offr[/quot You have to trade in your old camera to get this price from JL

Literally just looking at these models as a present for my daughter. I started looking at the TZ60 then thought the TZ70 would be better as it has the same size sensor but fewer pixels (but loses the GPS coordinates). As of this morning, I was thinking the TZ80 might be better still and it has the 5 yr warranty if registered before end of May - but still doing my research. £200 is a good price for this.
