Received an email from Birdlife to members about an exclusive deal with the Olympus website. Buy the E-M1 III ($2599) and get a 100-400mm ($2099) lens for free. Add both items to cart and apply code BIRDLIFE. Plus they are doing a bonus $500 VISA card via redemption.

Thank you. I got excited thinking it was a miracle $500 when you buy with Visa
OM-D E-M1 Mark III = $2,599.00
M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm F5.0-6.3 IS = $2,099.00
Subtotal = $4,698.00
Discount (BIRDLIFE) -$2,098.95
GRAND TOTAL = $2,599.05And a $500 Visa card?
I know someone looking for a camera for a safari next year, this looks like a pretty decent deal for that scenario.
practically giving away the cameras
The lens is 100-400 with F/5-6.3

f5@100mm - ouch
Ouch? 1/3 of a stop? On a modern mirrorless? Yeah that's a huge gotcha.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, the lens is technically 200mm with an dof equivalent of F/10?
No it's technically 100mm with dof of f5.
yes, I believe you're right. I think it's the 800mm reach that makes this lens its own class. You don't get 800mm on such a light package on any other mirrorless or dslr systems. Even the Panasonic FZ300 super zoom only reaches to 600mm — that said, the FZ300 is more portable and have worse sensor performance.
only available to member is not a bargain here
Could you not checkout without being a birdlife member?
I just checked, you don't need to be a member of anything.
Tried.. seems cant get the bonus lens that way..
Add both the camera and lens to your shopping cart, then enter the code.
It worked for me😎
hmm can't find om-system themselves in the retailer list for the 500 cashback lol
Sent a mail asking for clarification.
Response:
Yes, explore.omsystem.com is the official online store for Olympus and OM SYSTEM branded consumer products owned by OM Digital Solutions, who you have contacted. Eligible products purchased from our site for the Summer Bonus promotion will be accepted.
Wow what a deal! So sell the lens new and the camera might only cost around $500~. Or have I got that wrong?
Camera after giftcard redemption: $2099
To sell the lens for $1500 will not be so easy. You could get lucky.
A realistic price will be $1200However, the 100-400 is a very decent birding lens. I would get this kit just for birding, but I am poor
Great combo for moon photography as well.
Will need a wide angle for my moon
great price.
what can you do besides birding and mooning?sport, great zoom
Landscapes
@Dan83: generally you would want a wide angle for this
https://www.amazon.com.au/Olympus-M-Zuiko-Digital-7-14mm-Cam…@NotJustChickenDinner: Oh yes i know but long telephotos are great for landscapes too. Everyone else had just highlighted their other main uses.
Yah I’m too poor too! Great way to get the camera for sub 1000 at least fairly easily.
A camera without a lens is not useful.
Thanks Birdmann.
if its for OM1 then I will buy. but em1III is bit too old.
Em1 mk3 was released in 2020, just wast for a few years until OM1 mk2 released.
the point is the size.
Shouldn’t really be any different to the g9. Same sensor size and megapixels.
Ordered last night, shipped this morning, and it will be delivered tomorrow.
You will love it
just received them, they shipped via DHL.
I have this combo and at this price it is an amazing bargain … great for whale and wildlife shots and half the weight of a full frame camera.
Bought, will sell the em1III to get OM1.
do you think you can get $1500?
Hope so I won’t open it.
camera is sold out.
lens still avaible.
lol, why pay $2k just for lens. deal is expired i guess.
back in stock it seems, I can add to cart
out of stock.
Has anyone had any response after submitting their cashback claim. Ive had crickets since 23rd December. I know its been holiday season but not even an email confirmation that they received my claim.
check junk mail
an email sent from Promotions Team <[email protected]>
OM Digital Solutions Australia Pty Ltdtitle "'SUMMER BONUS' Promotion Claim "
Thanks for that. I didnt receive anything. I'll sibmit another claim.
I also had no response when I submitted a week ago. Resubmitted yesterday and got an automated reply almost immediately. Not sure why it didn't work the first time.
I didnt receive any response but they have now looked up my claim and have confirmed it was successful. All good. They also mentioned the next lot of gift cards will be ready mid January so might receive this month.
$2,599.00
