The email specifically says Midnight PST, so I think it's 1AM our time still:

And if that's not enough excitement, you can also SAVE 25% Sitewide until Monday March 4th at Midnight (PST).

Use Voucher Code SWEET25 in the shopping cart.

Here's a hell of a deal on a m4/3 body: Panasonic G3 straight from Panasonic.

$249 - 15% = $212 and free shipping.

Jesus and I thought that V1 offer was a steal...

[Go4Long]

that's really tempting, but I like my little E-PL2 and already have an underwater housing for it, so it would be an expensive switch.

Yet another deal on another m4/3 package.. This time it's the GF3 with the 14mm f/2.5 for $254 and free shipping after the 15% discount:

Mighty tempting since I want that lens and the GF3 + 14mm combo is absolutely diminutive..

[Mitsu3000gt]

I'm loving these M43 deals. You'd have to be insane to buy a P&S these days.

[lilmira]

Holy crap that's a steal! The lens is worth more than that already. Don't make me spend more money.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Haha I'm thinking of picking one up, just because it's such a good deal, but the reality is that it will probably spend 99% of it's life collecting dust. Resist!

If you wanna go halfers, I'll take the camera and you take the lens.

[msommers]

Jeez that's an insane deal.

[lilmira]

I might just take your offer. The 20mm is nice for stationary but the focus is too slow for moving objects. Be strong now.

Haha what would you do with a GF3? TBH both items looks quite attractive to me.. I really like how small the GF3 is.

Haha to be honest, I would have to fucking idea. But for $125, the camera is almost too cheap not to have! I'd like to say I'd use some of my M-mount lenses on it, but I think realistically it'd sit on the shelf. I already have two point and shoot cameras that I don't use very often

You probably just talked me out of it haha

[clem24]

Well looks like decision has been made for me.. The black GF3 + 14 kit is sold out unless they get more back in stock. No silver for me thanks. That was easy LOL.

BTW D'z, I think for M lenses, I'd wait until a killer deal on a nicer Sony NEX body. The contrast peaking feature is just too good. And don't forget the crop factor of 1.5 vs 2; just that alone makes so many of my M lenses kinda useless (i.e. my widest M lens is a 70mm!).

Yeah when it comes down to it, I think that 2x crop factor is always going to be a deal breaker for me. But for the price that GF3 was really worth considering. If there's ever an NEX body for ~$150 I'll jump on it haha

There's probably a ICL version with the features of the X100S, but the XE-1 and lenses are discounted right now at B&H: i.e. XE-1 $999, 18mm+60mm $773, 35mm $299 (must be bundled) total: $2071
