GX80 12-32mm and 35mm-100mm package on Amazon Lighting Deal for £489 now
I wish I'd seen that this morning lol. I've been into Jessops & Currys several times over the last few weeks trying out both the OM-D series vs Panasonic deliberating which I should get to replace my Canon EOS 620 (film body) which died on me while on holiday in Cornwall. Was up at 1am reading/watching reviews and decided to give the Panasonic a try based on the improved image stabilisation. Simon Harrison's photos also played a part in swaying my decision given the fantastic results he's getting!
Picked up a silver GX80 twin lens package, Sandisk 32Gb card and extra battery at Jessops this morning (reserved through Topcashback earning a tenner!), wanted the black one but they only had one on display. When trying it out it kept asking to be turned off and on again (classic IT crowd moment ) so plumbed for the silver. I wished I could have got the G80 with cashback but I guess Panasonic will be offering discounts next year as its just hit the market. Can't complain as the manager knocked off another £50
I'm planning on putting the cashback towards upgrading the kit lens to the Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 (used of course) as I've heard that this lens is excellent wide open.
Oh well now I've got to download the advanced manual and learn how to use it!
