This camera body is currently going for that $1,700 price point from B&H and Adorama, who notes its deal will only last 5 days. The 24.2-megapixel sensor will benefit video with its dual native ISO technology. The ability to record in 4K at 10-bit and in V-Log and V-Gamut will please any content creator. You can get 14+ stops of dynamic range while shooting in these log recording modes as well. The camera is also dust and splash resistant to handle any condition.

Today only, as part of its DealZone, B&H is offering the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III Mirrorless Camera with a 12-40mm f/2.8 lens for $1,999 shipped. Normally going for $2,800, this 29% discount makes one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for this camera. Adorama is also offering this one-day deal at the same price as part of its Deal of the Day. This Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera is regarded as being “well-rounded” with it being “designed with speed, versatility, and portability in mind.” The 20.4-megapixel Live MOS sensor is paired with the updated TruePic IX image processor to shoot continuously at 60fps while using the electric shutter and 15fps with the mechanical shutter. The 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization system can compensate for up to 7.5-stops of camera shake. While it does not include V-Log, you do get Olympus’ OM-Log that extends the effective dynamic range and color grading potential. The weather-sealed body means you can take this camera anywhere without being overly concerned. The included 12-40mm f/2.8 lens is a perfect all-around lens for most scenarios. The maximum f/2.8 aperture means it will have good low light performance across the focal range.

You’ll need somewhere to store all your pictures and videos. Check out these deals on a CORSAIR 1TB MP600 PRO M.2 SSD for $155 and the WD_BLACK 1TB D30 SSD for $112.50.
