Panasonic Lumix Deals & Offers

Thanks. Have changed it to expired.

It's just gone midnight and the price has risen to £879.00. However, the FZ2000 + Battery bundle is still showing at £758.98 (for the moment, anyway!) UPDATE @ 04.45: Battery bundle now £937.99 ('sigh') Fingers crossed Amazon drop the price of the camera-only deal again before Christmas.

In John Lewis And Currys its retailing at £879 and after cashback it will be £679 so that makes THIS deal £180 cheaper!!!!!

Missed that, sorry! Great Deal!

£799 after £150 Sony Cashback

Have a look best lens

People expect to have the right answers spoonfed to them immediately! The only problem is, they're not asking experts, they're generally getting one persons opinion who tries to make out like he/she knows everything! ;) A little bit of legwork and they can make a more educated decision - simple isn't it?!

dpreview is good, but I wish people took your comment to heart more generally. So many of the deal threads seem to be filled with basic questions that could be answered with a few seconds on Google.

In the end you can get the camera & the lens for 499£, so it's only 125£ more than the body alone. This lens is worth ar. 300£. So better deals as far as I'm concerned.

There ya go. How wide? Do you want fast? What's your budget? You really do need to be more specific. Have a look through that site I linked, you'll get WAY better info and a bit less trolling if you're looking through their forum. But you'll get torn apart if you posted a question like that ;)

I can't recommend the cases highly enough. Quick tip, get some waterproofing spray or use some wax to waterproof it, that way it saves it getting damp from any light drizzle and then transmitting that moisture to your camera/lens. I tend to use the little silica gel bags to keep moisture levels down

thank you... looks like a good option :)

Thanks, I'd been looking around for a decent case & the only one I'd found so far had been that 1950's - esque designed case that looked pretty tricky to get access to the camera in a hurry. Just ordered the dashpoint 20 in blue for £12.95 from amazon, with the same bag in slate grey @ £14.95, & Galaxy grey @ £19.99

Lowepro Dashpoint 20. Keep an eye out on ebay and you should pick one up for under £10. I originally bought it for my GX80 but it's actually a better fit for my new GX800. You can attach it to the chest strap of a daypack, to a belt, with the supplied shoulder strap....it's super handy. PLus it gives a good level of protection. Bear in mind, if you get a case that's really snug, getting it out and putting it away is a pain in the.... I can JUST squeeze my GX80 with one of the pancake lenses into it but I stopped with the 20 and got the larger, dashpoint 30 and it just slips in.

picked this up from currys, can anyone recommend a case?

I've also had a few panasonic cashbacks & agree it's usually a smooth process. However, they are very particular about model eligibility (grey imports are excluded for ecample), so I'd double check if this is included. It may just be a typo in the amazon listing, but it could be something more significant.

I'm sure it is exactly the same camera, just an inaccurate title and description on Amazon. If you check the product details on Amazon, it says "Item model number: DC-FT7EB-A". Lumix cameras used to have model numbers starting with "DMC", but it seems the newer models are just "DC". I've got a few cashbacks from Panasonic, no problems. Though note you have to wait 35 days after purchase, before you can claim.

Careful though. I'd certainly snap this up if the cashback was guaranteed. However, the cashback only applies to very specific model numbers - see list via pronotion link - and the DMC-FT7EB-A is not on the list, even though other variants of this model are (and they're £100 more expensive). I'd therefore recommend double checking with Amazon and / or Panasonic if you're purchasing on the strength of the cashback alone. I've got an ft5 and would love to upgrade, if the price is right.

I have the 14 - 140, but don't do much telephoto work as I am into landscapes so use mid angle and wide angle lenses more.

Same here! Thanks for replying!

Which long tele do you have? My longest lens is currently the 35-100 but I could do with something longer for an extended trip to southern Africa and was considering the Pany 100-300mm ii and Oly 75-300mm ii. For how much use it will get I decided against the Pany as it's considerably heavier and larger and a lot more expensive, especially as I've found an off for a new 75-300 for £228.65 - there's a black friday discount plus Oly's £85 cashback! I'm thinking I'd rather buy from John Lewis and they said they'll price match! So I really need a long tele? No. If it was £350 would I buy a new one? No. But at that price I'm considering getting one AND the GX800 (£219) as a second body!

What's the difference between this and the black one? Is it design only?

I have both. They are both great cameras with pretty much identical picture quality. The G80 is really what the G7 should have been! Also the G80s kit lens (the 12-60) is basically parfocal which means it holds its focus throughout the zoom range in video mode - which most SLR lenses don't do. Oh, this is of course using manual focus! Autofocus (like auto anything) is not to be trusted. Yes it makes a reasonable attempt in video mode, but still drifts in and out of focus at times. Autofocus for stills (single point) is excellent. The IBIS in the G80 is very good, so if you intend using older lenses of want to do a lot of handheld video, the G80 would be the better buy.

A friend got this in curry’s at dinner after bit of an argument thanks op

Aye, nice deal if it goes through. Good luck. Leica lens...they don't come much better.

Ordered this morning from Currys for £299. It's now gone up to the original price of £490. Hope they don't say the reduced price was a misprice and cancel the order :/

No longer showing at this price - guessing they put this live a day or two early. Amazon is good though!

Another good price

Yeah voted hot, dithered and missed it too!

Voted hot, amazing deal. Gutted I missed it.

I love my GH5, I'll agree it's not the best low light (IE 1600+ISO, daylight is fine), but it excels at other things and for a <£2k price point (w/ Lens), it's a beaut.

Expired

I love Leica but Panasonic cameras I've always found to have very noisy images, even in daylight.

Probably just this price today - matching Currys one day offer for the same price.

I was looking at this, but ended up buying a Sony HX60 from argos/ebay for £116 on saturday

If you want a very small camera with image quality a good step above a smartphone, you will want at least a 1" sensor, which costs more than a smaller sensor... though your TZ70 will be better if you want the longer zoom in a small package (and still good image quality in bright places). An SLR would only be an option at this price if you were not concerned with size.

Not really. The market for 1 inch enthusiast cameras is 300-500. It's a competing camera. Not saying its better or worse, but it's not apples and oranges

RX100 m4 is 499£ currently, so quite different basket

Some amazing deals in the past on the GX80 with the lens. I am a GX80 owner but I missed those deals. I got mine from a trusted ebay seller for £260 (body only), listed as excellent condition, which it is. If this CameraJungle deal was around back then I would have jumped on it. Not only did I pay more, I also haven't got any guarantee. I have confidence in CameraJungle because the £300 14-140 mkii lens I bought from them to go on my GX80, was listed as "excellent" and is spot on on every way.

True, might be worth holding out for when the cashback deals start again. Some of us were lucky enough to get this with the 12-32 lens for £249 back in Jan...https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gx80-compact-system-camera-with-12-32mm-349-249-after-cashback-john-lewis-2883700

Six months ago there was a sale for 359 at Amazon and others. After cash back price was 309 for brand new with 12-32 lens. Now they sell just the body for 233 and lens for 103. All this is used....

Cool thanks. Filled in the claim and when they reply to me I'll buy with them.

Online. You submit a claim through the website. They got back to me in 24 hours. https://www.johnlewis.com/customer-services/prices-and-payment/never-knowingly-undersold-claim

Did you do that in store or online?

Just FYI, I got John Lewis to price match this, and they offer a 2-year warranty.

not sure tbh the 12-60 certainly reviews better in terms of sharpness and has the bigger range of focal lengths but again its a size/feature tradeoff thing

Why has this expired? it's still a great deal and still on!

good! :)

At the cost of maximum aperture dropping quickly as you extend the zoom. But then it's considerably cheaper than an RX10

It says £100 on the Panasonic site for Amazon purchase today and I would say that is definitive.
