Click "Save up to $100.00 with bundle.", select the 40-150mm lens and add to cart.

Nice find! That's essentially getting the 40-150 free, given current prices for body + 14-42.

links not working

looks like you can also get the lens bundle for a buck with the cameras. the lens bundles adds Pro Optic 58mm MC UV Filter, Lens Cap Leash, Professional Lens Cleaning Kit to the lens.

good price. but, i already have the oly 14-150 for my pl1. i'll wait for the pm2 refurbs. don't know if i could dump these two lenses to make it feasible.

this bundle deal will also work with the pm2 body only item (http://www.adorama.com/IOMEPM2WH.html) = $450 for body and 40-150.

I bought the e-pm2 a few weeks ago. It's a great camera, I'm very happy with it. I would also recommend getting the panasonic 20mm f1.4 lens for it, it's a definite must have and the lens that spends most time on my camera.

The 14-42mm and 40-150mm will give you a good range starting out. I personally would sell the 40-150mm and put it towards the Olympus 14-150mm. It runs for $600 new but cameta has factory refurbished ones for $320 (so far I've only had good experiences with their factory refurb products). This way you don't have to carry 2 lenses around for a trip to the zoo etc.

If you are torn between the e-pm2 and e-pl5 I would recommend trying out both cameras in person before making a decision. Some people, me included, find the e-pl5 a little awkward to handle due to the extra protruding bulge of the hinged display. Others swear by it and recommend spending the extra $100.

Anyway, good find. Prices will likely come down more as time goes by but for the current market this is a great price.

Does the E-PM2 have the same wonky/jittery video output as the E-PM1?

i assume you mean the panny 20mm f1.8 (unless they released an even awesomer lens!). i agree with you on the 14-150, it's a great lens. my panny 20mm is my "indoor" lens and my 14-150 is my "outdoor" lens.

Great deal!

Haha, seems we're both off our game today. I meant the panasonic 20mm f1.7 LOL

I have never seen the video output on the e-pm1 but I haven't noticed any problems with video output quality on the e-pm2

this deal still alive? I only see save up to $30...

Dead.

E-PM2 vs E-PM1

No comparison. PM2 has a much better sensor (same as PL5 and OM-D) that is capable of producing better results, specially at high ISO.

How is the e-pl5 vs GX1??? GX1 is selling over $100 less

ha!

1.4, 1.7, 1.8, what does it matter as long as it's under 2, right?

also faster fps and touch screen.

wow, just checked snapsort and pm2 blows pm1 out of the water (at least according to them).

great! But really hope they would come with Power Zoom kits.
