As its Gold Box Daily Deal, Amazon has the Panasonic DMC-G5KK 16 MP Compact System Camera with 14-42mm Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LCD (Black) for $299.99 with free shipping. That $100 lower than we could find it elsewhere and $500 off its introduction/retail price. It features:

• AVCHD Full HD (1080p),ISO Sensitivity Auto: 160-12800

Photoblog concluded:

The Panasonic Lumix G5 is an accomplished mirrorless camera that upgrades its excellent predecessor in a number of significant ways in order to keep up with the fast-moving competition. A higher price tag means that it’s not quite the bargain that the G3 was, but we can still highly recommend this realistic alternative to a bigger and bulkier DSLR.
