oh man...but if I get the G3, I lose the grainy B&W art filter. I love having this set up as Myset1 and programmed to the 'video' button on my EPM1...I take a lot of B&W pics and I don't know about you guys, but the grainy film art filter really does it for me.

The G3 sensor is definitely better at high ISO, but you lose out on Olympus image processing, metering, AWB and art filters.

I just sent BH the following message:

"I want to return this purchase. You just lowered the price by $100. Please send me an RMA. As soon as you have the camera back and my account is credited, I will re-order the camera at the reduced price. Thank you"

I wonder how they will react!

Why don't you call and ask for a price adjustment?

I think I'll see if they take the initiative on that. It leaves me with more leverage. If they do offer an adjustment, I will be happy to accept. If they choose to just take the camera back, i might counter-offer. They are honorable people. I'm sure we will work something out.

well, Amazon has had it for $329.... so it is only a $30 difference..... but psychologically of course $299 feels a lot cheaper than $329.... just like $199 feels a lot cheaper than $201.

I had that camera a little over a year ago (G3) and it was quite decent, in real life it turned out to be much smaller than the photos of it would make you believe. In fact with 20/1.7 lens, it was pocketable in my leather jacket's large pockets, unlike my current OM-D.

Now does it mean used ones would be going $200 soon?

First post to Mu43 for me. I've been looking to upgrade from p&s to M43 for a while now, couldn't resist this deal. Hard to believe that I just paid $299 for a G3 w/ lens when I paid $399 for the Powershot S90 it is replacing!

Me too, just picked up my first m43, coming from ps looking for better shots of my little kids. Thanks for the heads up on this deal!

I ordered and received the G3 kit for $399. I just spoke to a B&H customer service representative, informed him of my order and subsequent price reduction, and was informed (without asking) that an immediate refund for the difference was being issued as we spoke.

I have never received customer service of this type in my life! Fast, courteous and to my complete satisfaction.

Rest assured that B&H will be getting a high percentage of my business from now on. Thank you B&H and thank you Jonothan F/2, who suggested I make the phone call.
