One-day only: Panasonic Lumix G-series MFT cameras discounted for Prime Day

There are some excellent Nikon cameras discounted on Amazon Australia for Prime Day 2021 (opens in new tab), but if you'd prefer a different sensor size to the APS-C and full-frame formats in those bodies, you could opt for a micro four thirds (MFT) camera and save even more dosh.

Not only are MFT cameras typically cheaper than other formats, they're also smaller and lighter, as are the lenses. So you're essentially getting a very travel-friendly package.

Currently it's just Olympus and Panasonic making MFT cameras, each supported by a plethora of some excellent lenses. And, thanks to Prime Day, you can now get yourself a really good Panasonic Lumix G-series snapper for a lot less than full price.

There's an official Panasonic Store on Amazon Australia, so you're getting local stock that also comes with the manufacturer's warranty.

While our attention is on the best G-series bargains currently available, you can also pick up a Lumix compact point-and-shoot camera (Lumix TZ90 and TZ95) or a bridge camera (Lumix FZ1000 and FZ80) are also discounted. Just head to the Panasonic Lumix deals page on Amazon (opens in new tab) to take a gander.

Note that all the Panasonic Lumix offers are for one day only, ending 11:59pm June 21.

Here are our picks of the best G-series offers:

Panasonic Lumix G7 twin lens kit | ~~AU$1,199~~ AU$719 (opens in new tab) (save AU$480)

This twin-lens kit usually retails for AU$1,099 in Australia, but Amazon's Prime Day offer is one of the lowest prices we've seen. At this price, it's an absolute steal, particularly for anyone interested in getting into videography. Admittedly this almost six-year-old camera isn't going to keep up with the new models, but it's still very capable, offering 4K/30p video capture. How often can you snag a 4K camera twin lens kit for such a low price?
