Panasonic Lumix LX5 AWESOME DEAL Only Today ($269)!

Panasonic LX5 Price Cut Only For Today:

For anyone who is interested, you can find the Panasonic Lumix LX5 for $269 at this link to Amazon!  This is not from a third party seller so you can even get free 2 day air shipping on the LX5 if you have Amazon Prime.  You bettter hurry because it’s only for today and for this price, I’d be surprised if it didn’t sell out.  This is normally mainly a photographic website but $269 is an awesome deal for this camera, which is why I thought I’d let everyone know.  Get one for Christmas, get one to throw in the car…who cares?  This is a great price for a camera that can shoot RAW, and that comes with an awesome Leica lens.  Don’t forget, the list price for the LX5 is normally $499.95 and it usually goes for a street price of $370.  $269 is usually in the ball park of a used LX5 but this is new and it’s from Amazon (here is the link), which is a very reputable source!  I’m even tempted to buy one even though I don’t need it right now.

For anyone who is thinking about purchasing this camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 is essentially a twin to the Leica D-Lux 5.  The D-Lux 5 does cost a lot more but it comes with Adobe Lightroom, and a Leica 3 year warranty.  However, for $269, the LX5 is totally worth it.  I’ve had a Leica D-Lux 2, a D-Lux3, and a D-Lux 4.  The D-Lux series are awesome cameras, and this is a great way to get one!  Anyway, here is the link to the Panasonic LX5 again at Amazon.  And again, I will definitely be posting more photos and reviews soon.  I have a 50 Summicron review coming up but I just want to add more photos to it.  Don’t forget, the deal for the LX5 is only for today (here’s the link one last time)!

Leica Price Increase!

As some of you may already know, Leica is going to increase the prices for their M lenses again starting January 1st 2012.  I love Leica and all but this increase in price every year is getting a little crazy, especially since there are no new Leica lenses out there.  It makes me regret selling my 28 Elmarit ASPH and 28 Summicron ASPH :).   [continue reading…]
