Panasonic Now In The Bonus Business - And You Benefit

Looks like our favourite lens makers at Yamagata are feeling slippy . They have just announced a bonus offer for cameras that started on the first of this month and will continue until the end of October 2014.

The cameras that qualify are selected from the Lumix G series:

The GX-7
The GM1
The GF6
The G6
The GH4
The GH3

The bonus offer if you purchase one of these cameras is you get a 32Gb SD card and an extra Panasonic battery for it - that's valued over $250. Cause for hooray!

I cannot comment on the GH series as I have not used them yet - though the scramble for the new GH4 amongst the video enthusiasts is a fearsome thing to see - but I can thoroughly recommend the GX-7 as I was allowed to use one on a trip to Japan.

It was a delight to shoot with and all the files I brought back were good. The feel of the camera is comfortable and solid and it would be the centre-point of any high-end enthusiast's kit, whether for travel or local photography.

Good to see that special offers can continue past the EOFY.
