It's usually modern models that we see discounted in the Amazon Prime Day camera deals. However, this year there's an absolute bargain on a flagship-level camera and lens that offers unbeatable value for outdoor photographers.
Right now you can scoop up the former flagship Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II with a 24-80mm trinity lens for just £1,186.67!
Released in 2016, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II (review) was the flagship camera for Olympus (now OM System). So even though it's an old body, when it was launched it packed cutting-edge technology – much of which is still impressive by today's standards – so you're getting an incredibly powerful camera without a 2026 price tag (this camera is a predecessor of the OM System OM-1 Mark II).
Some of its standout features include 80MP RAW imaging, made possible using Olympus' High Res Shot feature. This technology uses pixel shift multi-shot to quadruple the sensor's native 20.4MP resolution – ideal for capturing detailed landscapes in all their glory, while keeping the outfit a fraction of the size and weight of a full-frame setup (coming in at just 134 x 91 x 69mm and 574g).
Also making this camera perfect for outdoor shooting is its industry-best weather sealing, so you don't need to stop shooting when the weather turns. But this isn't just a camera for use on a tripod with static subjects!
The E-M1 Mark II boasts superb in-body image stabilization, offering up to 6.5 stops of shake compensation, as well as up to 60fps burst shooting (with AF locked, or 18fps with full AF) powered by a phase detect autofocus system. It also packs dual memory card slots for safety, along with a fully articulating screen and 4K 30p video.
This bundle also includes the brilliant Olympus M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro lens (review) – a professional trinity lens with an equivalent 24-80mm focal range.
A true workhorse lens, it has spent more time on my Micro Four Thirds cameras than almost any other optic. It's fast, delivers great results and crucially is weather sealed – making it a perfect pairing with the E-M1 Mark II as a go-anywhere, shoot-anything, whatever-the-weather combo!
