Panasonic Deals & Offers

All these type of microwaves has a shelf life of a few years these days. Especially ones with a 1 year warranty.

Just bear in mind this isn't an inverter microwave like the slightly more expensive Panasonics.

Voted hot.

wonder if he ment this one ? https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/samsung-23l-solo-microwave-white-5954-robert-dyas-3139113

Are you sure it was the 25L exact same model? A search on here & on google suggests otherwise

Heat Saw these on the shelves today at my local at same price. Didnt bother with it as i have a spare Tv already. Good luck to whoever wants one. (y)

720p at 32" would be painful to watch

Either way, people must be dumb, anything electrical that says MADE IN TURKEY on it is VESTEL, the brand licence holders are then the fools.

Vestel don't pay licenses to use the brand, the brands use Vestel to manufacture their low-end sets as it's cheaper than doing it themselves.

This must be national as I saw one in Newcastle under Lyme yesterday. They also had a small 24" Panasonic (Vestel again) for £99. It is a bit annoying when quality brands like Toshiba and Panasonic rebadge other cheaper brands - it's not that this won't be a value for money telly, it's just a bit disingenuous. If you look on Wiki, it lists all the Vestel brands - Hitachi, Goodman's etc. As other posters have noted, the Made in Turkey is the giveaway.

These type of deals never get heat despite being very good deals. Thanks OP, I've gone for one.. Time for long overdue upgrade from gh3

The GH3 is a totally different camera to this (and is upwards of 6 years old and cost £1500 new for the body only) so £250 sounds about right for it. A second hand GH2 would be a better buy.

Both the GH5 and A7 III are very good cameras. The A7 III is an unbelievably good camera to use in low light where it beats the GH5 hands down in the cleanliness of the image. Personally, I still prefer the GH5 for creativity and I've had the chance to try a few anamorphic lenses and output footage in stretched 6K, something you just can't do on any other camera yet. The GH5 also records 422 10bit in camera on a memory card in a x265 format. To get 10bit recording on the A7 III you'd need a separate recording device like the Ninja Atmos. To get the GH5 closer to the Sony A7 III field of view I use a Metabones Speedbooster XL attached to the GH5 with full frame Canon L glass. This turns the field of view into that closer to APS-H, not quite full frame but enough to match the the field of view used in most cinema cameras. The Metabones Speedbooster also adds an extra stop of light to your image, still not as good as the Sony A7 III but it gets you closer. If your interested in in-body image stabilisation the Sony A7 III wins out with Sony lenses. On the GH5 image stabilisation works with Panasonic lenses but you have the 2x m43 crop factor to deal with. If you use the Speedbooster in-body stabilisation is disabled, not a problem fo me as I use a Ronin stabilisation device but you lose the portability of the camera with this. For stabilisation, if I want to look inconspicuous I'd use the Sony A7 III with a Sony lens, if I'm filming a bigger project I prefer the GH5. Also, my batteries last much longer in the GH5.

got gh3 for £252 few days ago this looks expensive

At the end of the day, the GH5 is really a video camera that takes good stills, the new S1 / S1R is supposed to be a still camera first and foremost, although at about 2 months before it goes on sale, there are still very few details about what video features it will actually have. I have used Panasonic GH cameras since the GH1 and will be buying this in the next week or so. What attracts me to it (from a video perspective) is the 6K recording function (so you can re-frame/punch-in in post and end up with a clean 4K final master) and the IS Lock feature for the IBIS, which I'm hoping will let me get away without a tripod in some situations, and the 4K/50p internal framerate. Also worth noting that for full-frame cameras, it isn't so much the size of the body as the size of the lens that can be a problem (especially for long telephoto ones) this is where crop sensors (and M4/3 in particular) win out over FF equivalents.

Yep. Don’t think I’d pay almost double for a little chrome though.

Basically seems that way. Although, the 96 looks like it has Chrome adjustment rings rather than all Black like the 86.

A quite good beard today could be an ultimate beard tomorrow (y)

Will this still work on my quite good beard , or does in only work if you have an ultimate beard ?

https://news.panasonic.co.uk/panasonics-beard-trimmers-er-gb96-and-er-gb86–deliver-high-power-for-easy-to-style-long-beard-design/ Comparison with the more expensive gb96 model. It’s the same shaver with an extra attachment as far as I can tell.

Not on their exclusive they’re not. It’s £549 so if you don’t want the warranty for £50 or prefer the stand on the Currys model it’s a better deal

I highlighted the part showing it's an used item, entirely up to you if you want to take the risk (y)

Not worth the punt at all then? I figure screen marks are negligible once its on. I guess the used /bad warranty is the main issue? Thanks for clarifying btw.

Yes, the 740B is exclusive to Currys. I would advise against buying the eBay item as it's used and has marks on the screen. https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/fa1d5a613

Is this pretty much the same TV as the op except the stand?

Richer actually do have the Samsung 7100 for £399 (https://www.richersounds.com/samsung-ue49nu7100.html)

The likes of Apple have Chinese companies manufacture products to their exact specification, Vestel don’t operate like that. They’ll provide a company such as Panasonic in this case with a catalogue with various TV sizes and designs and Panasonic get to choose. Panasonic will have no say on the quality of components that go into Televisions bearing their name. Deals like this are extremely poor value for money (in my opinion) when you can buy a Techwood 49AO6USB from AO for £100 less and it’s essentially the same TV using the same generic Vestel Chassis. You can also buy an LG 49UK6300PLB for the same price as this (£399) or add £49 and buy a Samsung UE49NU7100 – no extended RS warranty of course but they’re a far better buy and will out perform a Vestel in every respect.

Vestel just with a panny sticker on

Panasonic branded Vestel.

PanaSonic the Hedgehog (lol) (y) 🏻 Oh that's a great one. Took me a second to get it to be honest!

£1799 at John Lewis and Richer Sounds now.

Unless they are replacing the panel, never buy a refurb OLED!

The best of the bunch this year (imho) and it's looking like Panasonic are on to a winner with this years OLED the GZ2000. DV & HDR10+ support, reference grade processing and a built in Dolby Atmos sound system.

True, but a win nonetheless. And up to £700 cheaper than the current C8 price...

it has hdr 10+ arguably just as good as Dolby vision

Keep in mind these have no microphone. They are fantastic beyond that for the money. They make a version with a microphone too though.

Thanks OP, just what i needed. (y)

i'm pretty rough handling my earphones but this earphone always lasted me a long time. Highly recommended!

Giving these ago, thanks. In the last 2 years I've been though around 5-6 pairs of various brands... not having much luck.

Which? Magazine did many more and different tests to what they did, the performance between the two were very different.

I've seen that claim a lot online - but never anything to support its accuracy.

ANY rechargeable batteries made in Japan come out of the same factory as these batteries. There’s only one rechargeable battery factory in Japan, there’s loads of tests and verification of the Ikea (Japanese ones only) and others that come out of this factory. The Japanese cannot be recharged as often (500 or so times) but can be reconditioned if buy the pro Panasonic charger or equivalent.

Yep. I was slightly tempted then with the double cashback, but not now. Will stick with my GX80 for a while longer.

While this is a very competent camera any one considering it, get your hands on one. If you’re used to a centralised viewfinder. This being offset takes a fair bit of getting used to.

Isn't that 2.7x optical zoom?

That deal has been posted few weeks ago.

The collapsible 12-32 lens is surprisingly decent all things considered and is very satisfying to open and close from collapsed state!

Is u like cyclops or wahhh

UHD and 4K are interchangeable terms - they both mean the same thing. Yes this player will play 3D disks but they're a dying format now the novelty has worn off (most manufacturers are no longer making displays that support 3D playback), 4K is here to stay though.

But wait - does this support 3D Blu-Rays / UHD? That's the future, right?

Don't think they'll be one at this price point unless Dolby stop demanding a licence fee for supporting it and it's unlikely to be included in any future firmware update for the same reason but this player may get HDR10+ at some point. The player is certainly capable of supporting DV as it uses the same HCX processor as the Panasonic DP-UB820EB which does include it. The Sony UBP-X700, LG UBK90 and LG UP970 are some of the cheapest (£170-200) 4K players supporting DV but none of them are anywhere near as good a deal as this bundle. The only other bundle I've seen is the Samsung UBD-K8500 but they're sticking with HDR10+ on most, if not all, their players (understandable as they are a co-developer of the standard). It remains to be seen how much HDR10+ content comes out, theoretically there should be plenty as it's free to implement and is backwards compatible with HDR10 decoders but it depends on the studios to actually bother sticking it on the disk.

Thank you. Going to order the bundle now.

the whole "made in turkey by Vestel so its crap" thing, whilst en vogue, is oversimplistic and its worth looking deeper into in my experience even if only partly true....

This will probably (well, most likely) be a rebadged Vestel and NOT actually a real Panasonic.

Anyone know if there’s a way to get this hooked up with Alexa? Read some reports their 2018 4K TVs were rolling out updates to support?

I picked this up yesterday and it came with the free 4K Blu Ray offer via Zoom, worth £20. Hughes were very helpful and I’ve always found them good to deal with. I’ve no idea why this is still £299 on-line but I’m all for supporting real stores especially with deals like this.

Excellent player, I own this and its 5/5. Previously owned the ub900 and the super buggy Sony ubx800. I paid £299 in December so this is 🔥. Highly recommend this and the oled setting is fantastic. Also I redeemed my free film from zoom and it only took 3 days to come.

This or save a bit more by getting the Sony X700?

Hughes in Martlesham, Suffolk but other nearby stores were offering the same deal when I phoned.

What store was this from?

Amazon customer reviews were there ones I read

Basically, yes. Both TV’s are made by Vestel, the differences between the two will be superficial. They’ll be using the same basic Vestel chassis which means the same or very similar panel & main board. There might be a difference in port/connection numbers or styles and the physical dimensions may differ, I suspect the Digihome will be thicker but that’ll be basically it. Other than that they’ll both perform pretty much identically.

Is it really the same TV but debadged? It certainly looks it, but there are some minor differences in spec points h X w X d and mass between coop site and the deal link here. Not that I necessarily trust these indicate different products and I am aware that this debadged does go on.

Save yourself £86 and grab a Digihome 49UHDHDR from Coop. Essentially the same TV without a Panasonic logo.

Just got this tv great value for money for the money u can't expect the same as a £1000 plus TV but this is good for anyone on a budget
