Seems a pretty good price for S5II based on previous deals. This package comes with 2 lens and bonus battery, bag and tripod. I ordered online and picked up at Indooroopilly store, the tripod is out of stock but coming soon in next week, which I'm fine. Might be good to try other stores too. Shopback also has 2.4% cashback at the moment.
starter kit
It’s a pretty advanced kit for a starter kit lol
Definitely room to grow into
Good price comparing with the 20-60mm lens kit, considering the market price for the 50mm is $500ish, battery $100ish (assuming genuine lumix battery).
It says DMW-BLK22E on the invoice, I think it is genuine. Also the bag is ProMaster Impulse shoulder bag, tripod is Inca i330G. I would say the extra battery is most valuable, but still free on top of the other same price twin lens only package.
good value in that deal for sure!
just bought one as a person with no photography experience. I will be travelling around the world in 2025 so this shoulld be more then ok i hope.
it's definitely more than just "OK". Welcome to L-mount :)
I have the s5iix and so far love it (changed from a7iii)
Great deal!
The 'Panasonic LUMIX S Lens 70-300mm F4.5-5.6' is also on sale at Amazon for $1028 (RRP $1860 so ~45% off): https://www.amazon.com.au/Panasonic-70-300mm-F4-5-5-6-Interc…
damn it, i wanted a 70-200 F2.8 either Lumix or Sigma but this is way lighter…
Thanks for posting this deal. I missed out on the black friday deal from JB Hi-fi. I'm glad I did because this is a better deal 😀 thanks mate
for people placing orders are you getting confirmation emails? I never got mine and its been over 2 hours.. Didnt take screen shot of order number either, only have the bank transaction to prove
Feel free to call closest store to confirm that order has been through or if you want to pick up. It was my first order with them, but seems pretty smooth!
Yeah same here. I bought last night, but no confirmation email yet. I'll have to contact them when they open today.
So I called up the store today and they said I’m on a back order and they are unable to give me an ETA. They said they are happy to cancel the order if I want. Does anybody have any idea how long back orders can take? Will be going overseas in 2 months
I wouldn’t be surprised if they blew up their allocations already just from this deal post. Probably was supposed to last till q2
Generally retail and even wholesale anything during December/jan is hard to restock if at all.
If time is of the essence, I’d suggest you get the same kit from stores that have them at the same price (e.g. Camera Clix), without the bonus battery and bag/tripod. Most people would already have their own favourite brand bag/tripod so no big loss there. Bonus battery is the only notable difference. You may be able to get them to match…
Pretty good starter kit
Was going to go a7c ii but this looks pretty tempting!
